VRT TM(Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.

Super capacity

Samsung's extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a king- size 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.

Deep steam(WF350*)

The deep steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, thus providing superior cleaning results.

Diamond drum TM

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.

Wooimark Certified

The machine wash wool cycle on the Samsung machines has been tested and passed the required Woolmark Company specification for machine washable wool products. Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as specified by

Woolmark and Samsung.

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.

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.

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 certification is conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification

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 efficacy.

_S_, I NSF Protocol P172

Pure Cycle TM

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.

WARNING

Water

To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116psi(137-

800kPa) 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 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 ft.(122cm) of the back of your washer for the inlet hoses

provided with your washer.

_ ccessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 ft.(305cm) for faucets that

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 floor 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.

A 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) Top - 17 In.(43.2 cm) Rear- 4 In.(10.2 cm) Closet Front- 2 In.(5.1 cm)

If the washer and dlTer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in2(465 cm _) of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.
