Be sure to have your installer follow these instructions closely so that your new
washing machine works properly and so that you’re not at risk of injury when doing
laundry.
CHECKING THE PARTS
Carefully unpack your washing machine, and make sure you’ve received all of the parts shown below.
If your washing machine was damaged during shipping, or if you do not have all of the parts, contact
Samsung Customer Service or your Samsung dealer.

To prevent unnecessary risk of fi re, 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 use an extension cord.
WARNING
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker
• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine
Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in
a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fi t
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
Water Supply
Your washing machine will fi ll properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water
pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut
off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fi ll than what the controls allow,
resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fi ll-time limit, designed to prevent overfl ows/
fl ooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)
The water taps must be within 4 feet (122cm) of the back of your washing machine for the
provided inlet hoses provided to reach your washing machine.
Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305cm) long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Making water taps easily accessible.
• Turning off taps when the washing machine is not in use.
• Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fi ttings.
Before using your washing machine for the fi rst time, check all connections at the water
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65 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 washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor.
Wood fl oors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing
machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.
Surrounding temperature
Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing
machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in
the lines can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:
Sides – 25 mmRear – 51 mm
Top – 25 mm Front – 465 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet
must have at least 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not
require a specifi c air opening.
INSTALLING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
STEP 1
Selecting a location
Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or fl ooring that may obstruct ventilation
• Is away from direct sunlight
• Has adequate ventilation

LAUNDRY GUIDELINES
Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most effi cient wash.
Always check the Care label on clothing before washing.
Sort and wash your laundry according to the following criteria:
• Care Label: Sort laundry into cotton, mixed fi bres, synthetics, silks, wool and rayons.
• Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new colour items separately.
• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the wash action.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash cycle for pure, new
woollen items, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or
refer to the fabric care chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets
Before each wash, empty all the pockets of your laundry. Small, irregularly shaped hard objects,
such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips could damage your washing machine. Do not wash
clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal objects.
Metal on clothing may damage your clothing as well as the tub. Turn clothing with
buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. If zips of pants and
jackets are open while washing, the spin basket may be damaged. Zips should be
closed and fi xed with a string before washing.
Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to
fi x the strings before starting the wash.
Prewashing cotton
Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results,
thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty,
prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly. Use the chart
below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.
Fabric TypeLoad Capacity

- average/lightly soiled
- heavily soiled
Synthetics3.0 kg3.0 kg
Denim3.0 kg3.0 kg
Bedding2.5 kg2.5 kg
Outdoor Care2.5 kg2.5 kg
Wool2.0 kg2.0 kg
• When the laundry is unbalanced (“UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load.
If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin effi ciency may be degraded.
• When washing Bedding or Duvets, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
effi ciency may be degraded.
• For Bedding or Duvets, the recommended load capacity is 2.0(kg) or less.
Make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry net (to be
purchased additionally).
• The metal parts of the brassieres may break through the material
and damage the laundry. Therefore make sure to place them inside
a fi ne laundry net.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and
handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them
inside a fi ne laundry net.
Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and cause an accident resulting in

DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES INFORMATION
Which detergent to use
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetics, items,
Hand Wash For Wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds”
laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
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 area. If you do not know how hard your
water is, enquire at your local water authority.
Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidifi ed as the detergent may remain in
the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the
overfl ow becoming blocked.
Please note the following when using the Wool course.
• Use a neutral liquid detergent for wool only.
• When using a powder detergent, it may remain on the laundry and cause damage to the
material (wool).
Your washing machine has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and fabric softener.
Add all laundry additives to the correct compartment before starting your washing machine.
Do NOT open the detergent drawer when your washing machine is running.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer on the left side of the control panel.
2. Add the recommended amount of laundry detergent
directly into the detergent compartment
your washing machine.
3. Add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the
softener compartment if required.
Do NOT add any powder/liquid detergent to the softener
compartment (
CAUTION
.
)
4. When using the Prewash option, add the recommended
amount of laundry detergent into the prewash
compartment
.
When washing large items do NOT use the following
detergent types.
• Tablet and capsule type detergents
• Detergents using a ball and net
Concentrated or thick fabric softener and conditioner
must be diluted with a little water before being poured
into the dispenser (prevents the overfl ow from becoming
blocked.)
Be careful that the fabric softener does not overflow, when you close the detergent drawer
after adding fabric softener into the rinse detergent compartment.
