2_ Features

features

• Child Lock

The Child Lock function keeps curious little hands out of the washer. This safety feature
ensures, that children do not toy with the operation of the washer. It also alerts you when it is
activated.

• Delay End

This function enables uses to delay the washing machine’s starting time for up to 19 hours.

• Calm Wash

We have a wash cycle that is so quiet you can do laundry while you sleep. The spin cycle is
whisper quiet as it drains away water.

• Less Ironing

Less ironing is needed as Samsung’s Carefreewash safely cleans your soft, delicate
cloths and easy-care fabrics. Developed by Samsung’s globally recognized digital process
technology, the Less Iron function is a specialized laundry program that will help to reduce
wrinkles on your delicate garments, freeing up the time you would have spent on ironing.

• Delicates & Wool Program

Special care can be determined by the appropriate temperature, the gentle wash action and
the appropriate amount of water.

• Air Wash

The Air Wash system deodorizes unpleasant smells and sterilizes ‘bacteria’ and mites in the
laundry that cannot be eliminated through a conventional washing system, a benefit of its
unique air-washing mechanism.

• Air-washable :Woolen coats, cotton/down jumpers, sweaters, suits, pillows, cushions,
needlework dolls

• Not applicable :leather, silk, velvet, electric blankets, other dirty laundry

appliance while it is in use.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs made by inexperienced or

necessary.

If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

SELECTING A LOCATION

Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:

• A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see “Adjusting the leveling feet,” below)

• 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 wrench.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or
vibration occurs. (Only a 1 degrees angle is allowed.)

REMOVING THE SHIPPING BOLTS

Before installing the washing machine, you must remove the five
shipping bolts from the back of the unit.

1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.

2. Hold the bolt with the spanner and pull it through the wide section

of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Store the shipping bolts away safely in case you have to move the washing machine in the

future.

Packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic
bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.

8_ 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.

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.
