SiiverCare TM Sanitization

The winning combination! Samsung's silver nano technology combines the sanitizing effect
of silver with state-of-the-art science for the ultimate in clean. Two plates of 99.9% pure silver

are converted into silver ions through electrolysis. Even in cold, bleach-less water, the silver

particles remove 99.9% of odor causing bacteria for a "su )er clean" wash. So washing in

cold water is energy efficient and better for your clothes.

Extra Large Capacity

Even bulky garments and blankets get super clean. The large 3.79 cu.ff, capacity leaves

enough room for a more thorough, cleaner wash.

High Efficiency Energy & Water Saving

Washing with Samsung's SilverCare TM, even in cold water, sanitizes the laundry thereby
saving 92% of the energy normally used with hot water sanitization.

Direct Drive inverter Motor

The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the
washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates

a higher spin speed of 1,300rpms for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has
fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

Wooimark Certified

The machine wash wool cycle on the Samsung SilverCare TM machines has been tested and

passed the required Woolmark Company specification for machine washable wool products.
Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as specified by

Woolmark and Samsung.

Pedestal with Storage Drawers (Model No : WE357A7W/S/R/L/G)

An optional 15" pedestal is available to raise the washer for easier loading and unloading.

Italso offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100 oz. bottle of detergent

Stacking (Model No : SK-3A1/XAA)

Samsung washers and dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space. An optional
stacking kit is available for purchase from your Samsung retailer.

Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.

Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.

Z_ NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

CAUTION

Grounding

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

This appliance must be grounded. Inthe event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a

properly installed and grounded outlet.

/_ Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical

....... shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the

appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, allwiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. Itis the personal responsibility of the

appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

/_ NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR HOT

....... WATER PIPES.

Water

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 - 120 psi is

required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve
to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,

resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit isbuilt into the controls in the event of an internal
hose becoming loose and flooding your home.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses

provided with your Washer.

_!!} Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that

are further away from the back of your Washer.

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

Have water faucets easily accessible

Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.

o Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

WARNING

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 cm. The drain hose must be routed
through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the

outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, your Washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for your washer to
move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,

the pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F/16°C.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Sides - 1 in / 25 mm Top - 17 in / 432 mm

Rear- 2.375 in / 60 mm Closet Front - 2 in / 51 mm

Ifthe washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in2or 465
cm2 of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

8 Installing yourrwaslherr

IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your Washer.

These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.

STEP 1
Removing the Shipping Bolts

Before using your Washer, you must remove the four
shipping bolts from the back of the unit.

t. Loosen all bolts with the supplied spanner.

2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with
the spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your
washer. Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.

STEP 2

Selecting a Location

(_ Before you install your washer, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface
Is away from direct sunlight
Has adequate ventilation

Will not be freezing (below 32°F or 0°C)

Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
Has enough space so that your Washer need not stand on its power cord

Doesn't have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.

STEP 3
Installing your Washer

t. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be

sure an airtight connection is NOT made
between the drain hose and the standpipe.
The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46

cm high.

(_ Caution must always be exercised to

avoid collapsing or damaging the drain
hose. For best results, the drain hose

should not be restricted in any way - by
elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths.

For situations where the drain hose
cannot be conveniently elevated to at
least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must
be supported.
