safety information

Congratulations on your new Samsung Washer. This manual contains important information on the installation, use and care of your appliance. Please take time to read this manual to take full advantage of your Washer’s many benefits and features.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating your Washer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY SYMBOLS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or property damage.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your washer, follow these basic safety precautions:

Do NOT attempt.

Do NOT disassemble.

Do NOT touch.

Follow directions explicity.

Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.

Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.

Call the service center for help.

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

With any equipment using electricity and moving parts, potential hazards exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and be careful when using it.

4_ safety information

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

• Do not wash items that have been washed, soaked, or treated with gasoline, dry

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Rinse by hand any material that has been exposed to cleaning solvent or other flammable liquids or solids before putting in your washer. Be sure that all traces of such liquids, solids, and fumes have been removed. Dangerous substances include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, certain liquid household cleaners and spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.

• Do not put gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances

into the washer.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system–such

as your hot water heater-- that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or more, turn on all hot water faucets in your home, and let the water flow for several minutes before using your washer. This will release any hydrogen gas build–up. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or light an open flame during this time.

Unplug the power cord before servicing your washer.

Do not reach into the appliance when the tumbler is moving.

Do not let children play on or in your washer. The washer door isn’t easily opened from the inside, and a child could be seriously injured if trapped inside.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your washer yourself unless you fully understand the recommended user–repair instructions and have the skills to carry them out. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.

Store laundry detergents and other laundry supplies in a cool, dry place out of children’s reach.

Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.

Before disposing of your washer, remove the door so that children or small animals cannot get trapped inside.

Do not sit on the top of your Washer.

Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks, and replace them every five years.

Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects or foreign materials, such as coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your washer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal.

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.

• Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Grounding

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• 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 CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR HOT WATER PIPES.

Water

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 – 120 psi is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal hose becoming loose and flooding your home.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.

Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that are further away from the back of your Washer.

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible

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

• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

8_ installing your washer

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 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 Washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage the belts, the pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F/16°C.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Sides – 1 in / 25 mm Rear – 4 in / 102 mm

Top – 17 in / 432 mm Closet Front – 2 in / 51 mm

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in² or 465 cm² of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your Washer. These instructions should be retained for future reference. We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.

STEP 1 Selecting a Location

Before you install your washer, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface

• Is away from direct sunlight

• Has adequate ventilation

• Will not freeze (below 32°F or 0°C)

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

• Has enough space so that your Washer need not stand on its power cord

• Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.

STEP 2

Removing the Shipping Bolts

Before using your Washer, you must remove the four shipping bolts from the back of the unit.

1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.

2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with

the spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer. Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.

STEP 3

Installing your Washer

1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be

sure an airtight connection is NOT made between the drain hose and the standpipe. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46 cm high.

Caution must always be exercised to avoid collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best results, the drain hose should not be restricted in any way – by elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths. For situations where the drain hose cannot be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must be supported.

10_ installing your washer

2. Insert new rubber washer (supplied) into each end of the

inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

3. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill

hose. Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections. On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose with the Hot printed line is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a turn with pliers.

For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water valves. If either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fill) error can occur.

4. Turn on the “HOT” and “COLD “water supply and check all

connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.

5. Plug the power cord into a 3-Prong, well grounded 120 volt

60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the power cord when plugged into a three-prong grounded receptacle.

6. Slide your washer into position.

7. Level your washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as

necessary by hand or the wrench included with your washer. When your washer is level, tighten the nuts using the wrench or (-) driver.

Your Washer must be leveled on all four sides. A carpenter’s level should be used on all four corners of your Washer. It’s a good idea after the first dozen washes to recheck your washer’s levelness.

To avoid damage to the legs, do not move the Washer unless the Lockingnuts are fastened to the bottom of the Washer.

LOADING YOUR WASHER

• You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes; but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub.

• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or

wrinkling of the load.

• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle with similar

lightweight items.

• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the tub completely – a rug, a pillow,

stuffed toys, or one to two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin performance.

During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the excessive unbalance inside the drum.

• When washing heavily soiled loads, not overloading your Washer is very important to assure good

cleaning results.

• To add a forgotten item:

1. Press the Start/Pause Button.

2. Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds).

3. Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button.

After a 10-second pause, the cycle will resume.

To ensure thorough cleaning, add items within five minutes of starting the wash cycle.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your Washer.

2. Close the door.

3. Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 15~16).

4. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 12~14).

5. Press the Start/Pause Button.

6. The Wash Indicator light will illuminate.

7. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

The time may fluctuate to better indicate the time remaining in the cycle.

The actual time required for a cycle may differ from the estimated time in the display depending on the water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.

8. Before your washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a

quick drain.

• When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” will appear in the display.

• DO NOT attempt to open the door until the Door Lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see

“Loading your Washer” section. (page 11)

• When your Washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle

continues.

• Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your washer.

• The Wash, Rinse and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.

14_ washing a load of laundry

DETERGENT USE

Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

• For best cleaning results, efficiency detergents such as Tide HE, Wisk

HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized.

Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please use only HE detergents.

Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading. * Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

FEATURES

Automatic dispenser

Your Washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener. All laundry additives are added to their respective compartments before starting your Washer.

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting your Washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your Washer is running.

To use:

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left side of the control

panel.

2. Add recommended quantity of additive to the appropriate

compartments with laundry additives, and be careful not to overfill or spill.

3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and completely back

into the compartment.

Detergent compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment

before starting your Washer.

2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with detergent to the detergent

compartment.

• When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the same form – granular or liquid.

If using liquid detergent, lower the detergent selector and add the detergent to the detergent compartment.

Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

2. Avoid splashing or over–filling the compartment.

3. Your Washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at

the appropriate time.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach

before it reaches the wash load.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach,

add it to the appropriate detergent compartment. DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach compartment.

Fabric softener compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment.

For smaller loads, use less than one capful.

2. Fabric softener should be diluted with water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.

3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse

cycle.

• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.
