Features

1. Energy Saving A+AA
We made the grade. Samsung’s Q1657A(V/T/S), the latest in high-tech 1600rpm spin models, was awarded a triple A score: A+ rated for energy consumption, A rated for washing performance, and A rated for spin dry performance. As a result, you accumulate more free time and money to spend on what really-you and your family.
2. Silver Wash - Silver Nano Health System TM
Samsung’s Silver Nano feature uses silver nano particles to sanitize and disinfect your loundry and your machine’s drum. Delicates as well as smelly socks will get odor-free from human sweat at temperatures as low as 30
˚C
.
That saves energy and protects color and form of your clothes.
3. Graphic Digital Display
The Graphic Digital Display control panel is clear and easy to use for minimum fuss and hassle. And whilst easy to operate, the Graphic Digital Display enables you to make quick and accurate adjustments to the wash for excellent washing results.
4. Shower Spinning
Leave the residue behind. With our Shower Spinning feature, jets of water are sprayed into the wash during thr spin cycle. That ensures that detergent goes down the drain where it belongs.
5. Stop & Add - Pause Option
Forgot an item? No problem. Our Stop & Add function allows you to stop the washer, open the door and throw it in. A built-in sensor detects the water level and tells you when it’s safe to open the door.

• 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.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs. (Only l degrees angle is allowed.)
Removing the shipping bolts
Before using the washing machine, you must remove the five shipping 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 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.

Installing the Washing Machine
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 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.
NOTICE The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-
sets should not be used.
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.

4. Connect the water supply hose to the adaptor. Pull down part (c) of the water supply hose. When you release part (c) the hose automatically connects to the adaptor making a 'click’ sound.
2. First, using a
‘+’ type screw driver, loosen the four screws on the adaptor. Next, take the adaptor and turn part(b) following the arrow until there is a 5mm gap.
5. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washer. Screw the hose clockwise all the way in
3. Connect adaptor to the water tap by tightening the screws firmly. Then, turn part (b) following the arrow and put(a) and (b) together.

NOTICE After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, then repeat the same steps. Use
the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.
Positioning the drain hose
The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
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.
