Important safety precautions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.

2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked

in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

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

4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid of the
washing or drying compartment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with the controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless it is

specically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user­repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

10. 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 2 weeks or more, before using a washer or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.

Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding

• AC 120 V / 60 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required.

• Use an individual branch circuit. Connect only the washer to the circuit.

To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong
grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are not sure about the
grounding.

Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not t the outlet, call a qualied electrician to

Installation

install a proper outlet.

• Do NOT use an extension cord.

• Use only the power cord that comes with the washer.

• Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

• Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.

• To prevent unnecessary risk of re, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring

WARNING

and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions
and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical
service for your washer.

Water supply

Proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Water
pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely.
Or, it may take longer to ll the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Water taps must be
within 4 ft. (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach
the washer.

To reduce the risk of leaks:

• Make sure water taps are easily accessible.

• Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.

• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose ttings on a regular basis.

CAUTION

Before using the washer for the rst time, check all connections at the water valve and
taps for any leaks.

English16

Untitled-7 16 2019-01-22  11:41:26

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in. (460 mm) high. The drain hose must be
connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the
drain hose.

Flooring

For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid oor. Wood oors may
need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft
tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to
move slightly during the spin cycle.

CAUTION

Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.

Water temperature

Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer always retains
some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection
parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer.

Laundry guidelines

Before you start

STEP 1 Sort

Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

• Care label: sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bers, synthetics, silks, wools, and
rayon.

• Color: Separate whites from colors.

• Size: Mixing different sized items together in the tub improves washing performance.

• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. For pure new woolen items, curtains, and
silk items, check the labels on the items.

NOTE

Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before
starting the wash.

STEP 2 Empty pockets

Empty all the pockets of your laundry items

• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items such as well as the tub.

Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out

• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be damaged. Zippers
should be closed and xed with a string.

• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie
the strings before starting the wash.

English26

Untitled-7 26 2019-01-22  11:41:38

STEP 3 Use a laundry net

A

• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the
brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.

• Cashmilon, large volume items, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes,
lingerie, nylon stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may oat on water during washing an
cause problems to the washer. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.

• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washer and result in injury.

CAUTION

Make sure to soak inatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-lled or microber quilts)
in water before you run a cycle.

• Inatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the washer during the wash or
drying process.

• Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at
a time. Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the spinning
process due to unbalance loads.

To input a blanket
Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it below the plastic area (A) of the tub.

Before you start

Untitled-7 27 2019-01-22  11:41:39

English 27

Before you start

STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)

• To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent
lightly and brush off.

• Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after
washing.

• Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.

CAUTION

Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.

• Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry
itself, or a water leak.

• Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area of the tub.

STEP 5 Determine the load capacity

Before you start

Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area of the tub. Otherwise, it may
cause the washing machine to not wash properly or cause damage to the machine or the
laundry itself, or a water leak.

NOTE

When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efciency may be reduced.

For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended load capacity is 3.5 kg or less.

CAUTION

If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is displayed, redistribute the
load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce spinning performance.

English28

Untitled-7 28 2019-01-22  11:41:39

STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type

The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items,
wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” HE laundry
detergent which is designed for automatic washers.

NOTE

• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you
are not sure about the water hardness, contact your local water authority.

• Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This detergent may remain after
the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

Use HE detergent only

Your washer is designed to use high
efciency (HE) detergents.

• For the best cleaning results, use a high
efciency detergent such as Tide HE,
Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High
efciency detergents contain suds
suppressors that reduce or eliminate
suds. When fewer suds are produced,
the load tumbles more efciently and
cleaning is maximized. (*Brand names
are trademarks of their respective
manufacturers.)

WARNING

Regular detergent is not recommended.
Use HE detergents only.

a minimum of 60 °F / 16 °C for detergent
activation and effective cleaning.)

The clothes washer can not ensure
these temperatures because the actual
temperature of the water entering your
washer depends on water heater settings
and regional water supply temperatures.
For example, cold water entering the
home in the northern states during winter
may be 40 °F / 4 °C which is too cold for
effective cleaning. In this situation, you
will need to adjust the water temperature
by selecting a warm setting, adding some
hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using

la conexión a tierra deben realizarse de conformidad con los códigos locales o, en ausencia de ellos, de
conformidad con el Código Eléctrico Nacional, ANSI/NFPA Nro. 70, su última revisión (para EE.UU.) o el
Código Eléctrico Canadiense CSA C22.1, sus últimas revisiones y los códigos y ordenanzas locales. Es
su responsabilidad proveer el servicio eléctrico adecuado para su lavadora.

Suministro de agua

La presión de agua adecuada para esta lavadora es de 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Una presión de agua
inferior a 20 psi (137 kPa) puede impedir que la válvula de agua se cierre completamente. También puede
hacer que el tambor demore demasiado en llenarse y se apague la lavadora. Las llaves del agua deben
estar colocadas dentro de los 4 pies (122 cm) de la parte posterior de la lavadora para que las mangueras
de entrada provistas puedan llegar a la lavadora.

Para reducir el riesgo de fugas:

• Asegúrese de que las llaves de agua se encuentren en una posición accesible.

• Cierre las llaves cuando la lavadora no esté en uso.

• Revise periódicamente que no haya pérdidas de agua en los accesorios de la manguera de entrada de
agua.

PRECAUCIÓN

Antes de utilizar la lavadora por primera vez, controle que todas las conexiones de la válvula y de la llave
del agua no presenten pérdidas.

Español16

Untitled-8 16 2019-01-22  11:47:12

Drenaje

Samsung recomienda una toma de agua de 18 in (460 mm) de altura. La manguera de drenaje debe
conectarse a la toma de agua a través del gancho, y la toma de agua debe cubrir totalmente la manguera
de drenaje.

Piso

Para un mejor desempeño, la lavadora debe estar instalada sobre un piso sólido. Posiblemente los pisos de
madera necesiten reforzarse para minimizar la vibración y/o el desequilibrio de la carga. Las supercies
alfombradas o con revestimiento sintético no ofrecen una buena resistencia a las vibraciones y pueden
causar que la lavadora se desplace levemente durante el ciclo de centrifugado.

PRECAUCIÓN

NO instale la lavadora sobre una plataforma o sobre una estructura con soportes poco resistentes.

Temperatura del agua

No instale la lavadora en áreas donde el agua se congele, dado que la lavadora siempre retiene algo de
agua en las válvulas de agua, la bomba y las mangueras. El agua congelada dentro de los conductos puede
dañar las correas, la bomba y otros componentes de la lavadora.

Antes de comenzar

Pautas de lavado

PASO 1 Clasicar

Clasique las prendas de acuerdo con los siguientes criterios:

• Etiqueta de cuidado: clasique la ropa según su composición: algodón, mezclas, sintética, seda, lana y
rayón.

• Color: Separe la ropa blanca de la de color.

• Tamaño: Mezclar prendas de distintos tamaños en el tambor mejora el desempeño del lavado.

• Sensibilidad: Lave las prendas delicadas por separado. Para las prendas nuevas de lana pura, cortinas y
prendas de seda, verique las etiquetas de las prendas.

NOTA

Antes de iniciar el lavado, lea las etiquetas de cuidado de la ropa y clasique los artículos en consecuencia.

PASO 2 Vaciar los bolsillos

Vacíe los bolsillos de todas las prendas.

• Los objetos metálicos como monedas, clips y hebillas pueden dañar las otras prendas y el tambor.

Dé vuelta las prendas con botones o bordados

• Si los cierres de los pantalones o las chaquetas están abiertos durante el lavado, es posible que el
tambor se dañe. Los cierres deben cerrarse y ajustarse con un cordón.

• Las prendas con cordones largos pueden enredarse con otras prendas. Asegúrese de sujetar los
cordones antes de comenzar el lavado.

Español26

Untitled-8 26 2019-01-22  11:47:24

PASO 3 Utilizar una red para ropa

A

• Los sostenes (lavables con agua) se deben colocar dentro de una red para ropa. Las partes metálicas de
los sostenes pueden atravesar la tela y dañar otras prendas.

• Es posible que las prendas de cashmilon y las prendas de gran tamaño y poco peso (p. ej. prendas con
encaje, lencería, medias de nailon, telas sintéticas, etc.) oten en el agua durante el lavado y causen
problemas a la lavadora. Utilice una red para ropa o lave estos artículos por separado.

• No lave la red sin ropa dentro de ella. Se podrían producir vibraciones anormales que podrían
desplazar la lavadora y causar lesiones personales.

PRECAUCIÓN

Asegúrese de que las prendas que se hinchan (como cobijas y edredones rellenos de algodón o microbra)
se empapen de agua antes de ejecutar un ciclo.

• Las prendas que se hinchan pueden causar daños a la ropa o a la lavadora durante el proceso de
lavado o secado.

• Independientemente del tamaño, las cobijas y los edredones están más seguros y quedan más limpios
si se lava de a una sola prenda por vez. Dos cobijas de distinto tamaño en la misma carga pueden
comprometer el proceso de centrifugado debido al desequilibrio de la carga.

Para ingresar una cobija
Doble la cobija como se muestra y luego colóquela debajo de la zona de plástico (A) del tambor.

Antes de comenzar

PASO 4 Prelavar (si es necesario)

• Para quitar las manchas y suciedades en cuellos, mangas, dobladillos y bolsillos, aplique detergente y
cepille.

• Utilice detergentes en polvo o líquidos. No utilice jabón ya que este podría permanecer en el tambor
después del lavado.

• Lave previamente calcetines, mangas y cuellos de color blanco con un poco de detergente y un cepillo.

PRECAUCIÓN

Asegúrese de que la ropa esté completamente dentro.

• Cualquier prenda que quede expuesta puede provocar daños a la máquina o a la ropa, o causar una
fuga de agua.

• Asegúrese de que la ropa no sobrepase la zona de plástico del tambor.

PASO 5 Calcular la capacidad de carga

Antes de comenzar

Asegúrese de que la ropa no sobrepase la zona de plástico del tambor. De lo contrario, puede provocar un
mal funcionamiento o daños a la máquina o a la ropa, o causar una fuga de agua.

NOTA

Cuando se lave ropa de cama o cobertores, el tiempo de lavado se puede alargar o la ecacia del
centrifugado puede reducirse.

Para ropa de cama o cobertores, se recomienda una capacidad de carga de 3.5 kg o menos.

PRECAUCIÓN

Si la carga está desequilibrada y el código de información “UB” se muestra en la pantalla, redistribuya la
carga. Una carga desequilibrada puede disminuir el desempeño del centrifugado.

Español28

Untitled-8 28 2019-01-22  11:47:25

PASO 6 Agregar el tipo de detergente adecuado

El tipo de detergente adecuado depende del tipo de tejido (algodón, sintético, prendas delicadas, lana),
color, temperatura de lavado y grado de suciedad. Use siempre detergente de alta ecacia (HE) y "baja
espuma", diseñado para las lavadoras automáticas.

NOTA

• Siga las recomendaciones del fabricante del detergente en función del peso de la ropa, el grado de
suciedad y la dureza del agua en su zona. Si desconoce la dureza del agua de su zona, comuníquese
con las autoridades locales.

• No utilice un detergente que tenga tendencia a endurecerse o solidicarse. Este detergente puede
permanecer durante el ciclo de enjuague y bloquear la salida de drenaje.

Utilice solo detergente de alta ecacia (HE)

La lavadora fue diseñada para usar detergentes de
alta ecacia (HE, por su sigla en inglés).

• Para obtener un lavado de óptima calidad, use
un detergente de alta ecacia, por ejemplo:
Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE o Gain HE*.
Los detergentes de alta ecacia contienen
supresores que reducen o eliminan la espuma.
Cuando se produce menos espuma, la carga
se mueve con mayor ecacia y el lavado
se maximiza. (*Los nombres de las marcas
son marcas comerciales de sus respectivos
fabricantes).

ADVERTENCIA

No se recomienda un detergente convencional.
Utilice solo detergentes de alta ecacia (HE).
