key features of your new
washer
1. Large Capacity
Even bulky garments and blankets get super clean. Samsung’s large capacity washer
provides the room clothes need for a more thorough, cleaner wash.
2. AquaJet
AquaJetTM washes loads gently and more thoroughly than conventional top loaders.Faster
drum rotation and the absence of an agitator inside the machine help circulate foam more
evenly throughout all your clothes, while powerful water jets provide a thorough rinse.
3. Digital 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. The beltless direct-drive motor generates
a higher spin speed for more eective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving
parts, meaning fewer repairs.
4. Mist Shower
A separate nozzle sprays water equally throughout the tub so that the rinse cycle is eective
even with a small amount of water.
5. VRT® (Vibration Reduction Technology)
This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.
6. Eco Plus (WA456*)
If you select this option, the water temperature is set to slightly lower than during the normal
wash course to save energy.
TM
(WA456*)
7. Pure Cycle™ (Tub Cleaning Cycle)
Clean your drum with one button! Pure Cycle is specially designed to remove detergent
residue and dirt bulidup in the tub, without the need for special chemical detergents.
8. My Cycle
This is a convenient function that enables you to save a frequently-used wash course. Once
this is set, you can do a wash simply by pressing the Power, My Cycle, and Start buttons in
sequence.
9. Smart Care (WA456*)
Samsung’s Smart Care, an automatic error-monitoring system, detects and diagnoses
problems at an early stage and provides quick and easy solutions.

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical
• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker
• Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
• Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION
Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
This appliance must be grounded. In the 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.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the
WARNING
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, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR
HOT WATER PIPES.
CAUTION
Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116psi (137 to
800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve
to shut o completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,
causing your Washer to turn o. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your
home if a hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm of the back of your Washer to match the inlet
hoses provided with your Washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet / 275 cm 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 o faucets when the washer is not in use.
• 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
12_ installing your washer
HUDSON WASH_WA456_USER MANUAL_DC68-03133A-09_EN.indd 12 2014/8/25 11:39:39
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in / 99 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 to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer 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 to vibration which can cause 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 retain
some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the
pump, hoses, and other components.

STEP 2
Connecting the water and the drain
Connecting the water supply hose
The water supply hoses are not supplied with your washer
and must be purchased separately. Before installing the water
CAUTION
supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the
fittings at both ends of each new water hose. Installing the
water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water
leakage.
When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses.
Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and
CAUTION
may damage your property.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to
increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this
CAUTION
way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a
hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.
1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets.
2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply
CAUTION
tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the fittings.
After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets,
ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses
downwards
3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open
the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15
seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the
faucets before continuing.

connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose
connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the COLD
water supply intake.
5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them
an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the HOT and
COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an
“nF” (no fill) error can occur.
If you do not want to use the HOT water supply hose, insert
the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole. In
this case, you must select the Tap Cold option for the water
temperature.If you select the Tap Cold option, all the lamps for
the water temperature options are turned o.
Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If
CAUTION
the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause
electric shock due to the water leakage.
6. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supplies and check all the water
supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

Over the edge of a wash basin
Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall
with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to
prevent the drain hose from moving.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
The standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in (99
cm) and no longer than 96 in (245cm).
Make sure that the connection between the
drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.
Connection the hose guide within 4 in (10cm)
from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended
more than 4 in (10cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold
or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

Drain Hose can be installed until 96 in (245cm) maximum. But
drain capability can be reduced at this height. It causes the
washer to have odor, because of remained water in the drain
system.
If drain hose is installed below 39 in (99cm), water can be
drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It
causes the washer to “nF” error.
STEP 3
Leveling your washer
See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub:
1. Slide the washer into position.
2. Open the lid of the washer, and pour the water into the tub to
just below the pulsator level.
3. If the washer is level, the pulsator is positioned at the center of the
water as shown in the figure. If not, level your washer by turning the
front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the washer, and
counterclockwise to lower the washer.

ATC (AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor).
Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer’s environments(cold
areas, warm areas, various water temperature, settings of heater temperature, etcs), ATC function in
our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at
each cycle.
If you select normal & heavy duty course, those courses are the regulation and UL course. Since new
washer must reduce the amount of energy usage at first priority, customer will notice more cold water
entering the washer. But This is Normal, not a problem.
In those regulation course, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and
warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.
If customer want to wash clothes in specific water temperature, customer should choose a dierent
course at each temperature(Hot/Warm/Eco Warm)

HUDSON WASH_WA456_USER MANUAL_DC68-03133A-09_EN.indd 24 2014/8/25 11:39:45
DETERGENT USE
Your washer is designed to use high eciency (HE) detergents.
• For best cleaning results, use a high eciency detergents such as
Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High eciency detergents
contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer
suds are produced, the load tumbles more eciently and cleaning is
maximized.
Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.
WARNING
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat
stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.
* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.
