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-5 16 2019-01-22  11:33:00
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.

STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• 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.

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
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.

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
Before you start
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.
