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. 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.

4. Stylish design

The stylish design of this washer blends well with your environment.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Pure Cycle

Using pure cycle helps to keep your washing machine clean even without any chemical detergent or bleach. Keep your drum cleansed and odourless with this specialized cleaning program.

9. 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.

01 SETTING UP

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply

• 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 20-116psi(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 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.

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 ﬁttings.

Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks.

WARNING

WF410AN-02657F_EN.indd 13 2010-04-29 ¿ÀÈÄ 3:55:50

14_ setting up your new washing machine

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.

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

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 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)

Top – 17 In.(43.2 cm) Closet Front – 2 In.(5.1 cm)

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

INSTALLING YOUR WASHER

STEP 1

Selecting a location

Before you install the washer, 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 washer doesn’t stand on its power cord.

01 SETTING UP

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.

STEP 3

Installing your washer

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 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 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 by using the wrench included with your washer. When your washer is level, tighten the locking nuts using the wrench or (-) ﬂathead 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 ﬁrst dozen washes.

Avoid damage to the legs. Do not move the washer unless the locking-nuts are fastened to the bottom of the washer.

DETERGENT USE

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

• For best cleaning results, use a high 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 HE detergents only.

Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the cleaning quality. 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. Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.

2. This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at beginning of cycle.

When using powdered detergent, remove the detergent liquid from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with detergent liquid.

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.

Pre Wash compartment

When using the Pre Wash option, detergent should be added to both the Pre Wash compartment and the detergent compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed during Pre Wash.
