Before using the appliance
• Packing materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packing material (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.)
well out of the reach of children.
• The appliance is designed for home use only.
• Make sure that water and electrical connections are made by qualified technicians, observing the manufacturer's instructions (see "Installing the Washing Machine") and local safety regulations.
• All packaging and shipping bolts must be removed before the appliance is used. Serious damage may
occur if they are not removed. See "Removing the shipping bolts"

for the first time".
Safety instructions
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet or set the (On/Off)
button to Off.
• Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty.
Hard, sharp objects, such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, or stones can cause extensive damage to the appliance.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use.
• Before you open the door of the appliance, check that the water has drained. Do not open the door if you can still
see water.
• Pets and small children may climb into the appliance. Check the appliance before each use.
• The glass door becomes very hot during the washing cycle. Keep children away from the appliance while it is in use.
• Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs made by inexperienced or unqualified persons may cause
injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance necessary.
• If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance should only be serviced by an authorized service center, and only genuine spare parts should be
used.
• If this appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or
electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
Additionally, the cord extension set or electrical portable out let device must be of a current rating suitable for the

• This appliance has to be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installation.
• Do not use processed water containing oil, cream or lotion, which is usually found in skin-care shops or massage
clinics. Otherwise this will cause the packing to be deformed, which causes a malfunction or water leak.
• A stainless washing tube does not usually rust. However if some metal such as a hair pin is left in the tube for an
extended time, the tube could rust. Do not leave water or bleach containing chlorine in the tube for an extended period of time. Do not regularly use or leave water containing iron in the tube for an extended period of time. If rust starts
appearing on the surface of the tube, apply a cleansing agent (neutral) to the surface and use a sponge or soft cloth
to clean it. (Under no circumstances use a metal brush)

Installing the Washing Machine

Selecting a location
Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
• A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet," below)
• Away from direct sunlight.
• Adequate ventilation
• Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C
• Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas
Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.
Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
Adjusting the leveling feet
If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the feet):
1. Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is
at the desired height.
2. Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the wrench.
• Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface,
noise or vibration occurs. (Only a 1 degrees angle is
allowed.)

Installing the Washing Machine
Removing the shipping bolts
Before using the washing machine, you must remove all of the shipping bolts from the back of the unit. To
remove the bolts:
1. Loosen all bolts with the wrench before removing them.
2. Take each bolt head and pull it through the wide part of
the hole. Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4. Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
Connecting the water supply hose
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the
other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and you do not wish to move the water
faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.
To connect the water supply hose:
1. Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply
hose and connect to the cold water supply intake on the
back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to
your sink's cold water faucet and tighten it by hand.
If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at
the washing machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating
the hose, and retightening the fitting.
Positioning the drain hose
The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a sink
The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60
and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a
hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to prevent the
drain hose from moving.
ln a sink drain pipe branch
The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that
the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.
ln a drain pipe
Samsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm and no
longer than 90 cm.
