Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions 1

Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following

1. Read all safety instructions before using the appliance.

2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.

3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to bad weather..

4. Install and level the washing machine on a floor that can support the weight.

5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not wash or dry items that have been

previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household

cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

b.Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot

water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub is moving.

8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

9. Do not tamper with controls.

10.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user- repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

11.Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washing machine.

12.Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them.

13.Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

14. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash.

Hazardous fumes can form.

15. Do not wash fiberglass materials.

Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.

16.Before the appliance is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

17.Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.

18.Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

19.Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.

Safety Precautions

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING :

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is used,

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set

or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type

3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it

will not be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

WARNING :

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

Preferred method of grounding

Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Your washer should be the only appliance on this circuit.

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 supplied 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 l degree angle is allowed.)

Removing the transit bolts

Before using the washing machine, you must remove the five transit bolts from the back of the unit. To remove the bolts:

1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.

2. Take each bolt head and plastic together, 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 transit 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.

SAMSUNG

Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions 5

Installing the Washing Machine

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.

Option: 1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and

connect to the red hot water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink's hot water faucet and tighten it by hand.

3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

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.
