MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

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 use an extension cord. Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

• 220V~240V 50Hz 15 AMP 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 qualiﬁed 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 ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will ﬁll 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 ﬁll than what the controls allow, resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A ﬁll-time limit, designed to prevent overﬂows/ ﬂooding 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 ﬁttings. Before using your washing machine for the ﬁrst time, check all connections at the water

valve and taps for leaks.

WARNING

WF1804WS-03042H_EN.indd 14 2011-5-4 9:53:41

setting up your new washing machine _15

01 SETTING UP

Drain

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 ﬂoor. Wood ﬂoors 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 mm Rear – 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 speciﬁc 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 ﬂooring that may obstruct ventilation

• Is away from direct sunlight

• Has adequate ventilation

• Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 0 ˚C)

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

• Has enough space so that the washing machine doesn’t stand on its power cord

WF1804WS-03042H_EN.indd 15 2011-5-4 9:53:41

16_ setting up your new washing machine

STEP 2

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.

Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

1. Over the edge of a wash basin: The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60

and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.

2. ln a sink drain pipe branch: The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that

the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.

3. ln a drain pipe: We recommend using a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than

60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.

The standpipe drain requires;

• minimum diameter 5 cm.

• minimum carry-away capacity 60 liter per minute.

STEP 5

Powering your washing machine

Plug the power cord into a wall sockets, an AC 220-240V / 50Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. (For more information on electrical and grounding requirements, see page 14.)

LAUNDRY GUIDELINES

Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efﬁcient 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 ﬁbres, 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 ﬁxed with a string before washing. Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to ﬁx 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.

02 WASHING A LOAD OF LAUNDRY

Determining the load capacity

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.

Wool

2.0 kg 2.0 kg

• When the laundry is unbalanced (“

UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load.

If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin efﬁciency may be degraded.

• When washing Bedding or Duvets, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin

efﬁciency 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 ﬁne laundry net.

• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and

handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a ﬁne 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 injury.

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 solidiﬁed as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overﬂow 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).

CAUTION
