features of your new VRT™ washer
1. VRT™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)
This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.
2. Super capacity
Samsung’s extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a king­size comforter, or up to 26 bath towels in a single load. Since you don’t have to do as many loads, you save time, money, water and energy.
3. Deep steam(WF350*, WF331*)
The deep steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, thus providing superior cleaning results.
4. Diamond drum™
Take gentle care of your fabrics. With inside holes 36% smaller than those of conventional drums, the diamond drum prevents fabrics from sticking out and consequently being damaged.
5. Woolmark Certifi ed
The machine wash wool cycle on the Samsung machines has been tested and passed the required Woolmark Company specifi cation for machine washable wool products. Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as specifi ed by Woolmark and Samsung.
6. Digital display & Center jog dial
The jog dial enables you to select cycles in both directions with ease, and the display is easy to use and understand.
7. DD(Direct-drive) Motor
The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the washer drum from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates a higher spin speed of 1,200 rpm for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.
8. Sanitize
When selecting this cycle, the water heats to an extra high temperature to remove 99.9% of certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or towels. This certifi cation is conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certifi cation organization. Please check garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only Sanitize cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization effi cacy.
NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers
9. Pure Cycle
Using pure cycle helps to keep your washing machine clean even without any chemical detergent or bleach. Keep your drum cleansed and odorless with this specialized cleaning program.

10. Child Lock
The Child Lock function ensures that curious little hands are kept out of your washing machine. This safety feature stops your children from playing with the operation of the washing machine, and alerts you when it is activated.
11. Pedestal with storage drawer (Model No: WE357*)
An optional 15in.(38.1cm) pedestal is available to raise the washer for easier loading and unloading. It also offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100oz.(6.25 lb) bottle of detergent.
12. Stacking (Model No: SK-3A1/XAA, SK-4A/XAA, SK-5A/XAA)
Samsung’s washers and dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space. An optional stacking kit is available for purchase from your Samsung retailer.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply
• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker
• An individual branch circuit serving only your washer is recommended.
• Your washer is equipped with a power cord.
Never use an extension cord.
WARNING
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 qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
WARNING
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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 connect ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
WARNING
Water
To correctly fi ll your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116psi(137­800kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi(137kPa) may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fi ll 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 fl ooding your home. The water faucets must be within 4 ft.(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 ft.(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 fi ttings. Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks.
WARNING
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.
12_ setting up your new washing machine
Flooring
For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor. Wood fl oor 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.
CAUTION
Location consideration
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 to the pump, hoses and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides - 1 In.(2.5 cm) Rear - 4 In. (10.2 cm)
If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specifi c air opening.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHER
Laundry tub
Stand pipe
STEP 1
Selecting a location
Before you install the washer, 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.
• 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 washer doesn’t stand on its power cord.
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 bolt hole covers.
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
01 SETTING UP
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 18in.(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
96” Max 18” Min
cannot be conveniently elevated to at least 18in.(46 cm), the drain hose must be supported.
2. Before connect the inlet hoses to water faucets, check to ensure a washer is inside coupling.

3. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fi ll 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 fi ll 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 fi ll) 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 by using the wrench included with your washer. When your washer is level, tighten the locking nuts using the wrench or (-) fl athead screwdriver.
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 the best to recheck after the fi rst dozen washes.
