This Samsung washer minimizies noise and vibration with dual 3D vibration sensors and
smart control technology, ensuring quiet operation.

2. The Largest Capacity

Samsung’s extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a
kingsize comforter, or up to 32 bath towels in a single load. Since you don’t have to do as
many loads, you save time, money, water, and energy.

3. PowerFoam™

Samsung’s effective PowerForm delivers improved cleanliness with advanced fabric care.
PowerFoam allows detergent to distribute evenly and penetrate fabrics faster and deeper.

4. PureCycle™(Tub Cleaning cycle)

Clean your drum with one button! This Pure Cycle is specially designed to remove
detergent residue & dirt bulidup in the tub, diaphragm and door glass without the need for
special chemical detergents.

5. SpeedSpray™

laundry by shortening wash times while still keeping all segments of the washing process
and getting your clothes clean.

*Based on 8 pounds loads, Normal cycle (under Normal Soil level without any options),
on previous and existing 4.3 cu.ft. Samsung front loading washers released until 2011
without Speed Spray.

**Speed Spray performs in Normal, Bedding PLUS, Deep Steam, Stain Away and
Eco Cold cycle and the saving time may vary by cycles and various load and option
compositions.

6. Deep steam

The Deep Steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, thus
providing superior cleaning results.

7. Smart Control

through personal technologies such as smart phones. You don’t have to be on standby
until the cycle ends. Smart Control allows you to monitor the washing process and let you
know when the cycle is complete.

8. Smart Care

Samsung’s Smart Care, an automatic error-monitoring system, detects and diagnoses
problems at an early stage and provides a quick and easy solution. With the innovative
Smart Control technology, you can also be alerted when the problem occurs via your smart
phones.

11. DD Motor

The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the
washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates
a higher spin speed of 1,300rpm for more effective, quiter operation. The washer also has
fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

12. 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 the garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only sanitizing cycles have
been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efficacy.

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.

CAUTION

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.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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

WARNING

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

CAUTION

WATER PIPES.

01 installing your washer

Water

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137­800kPa) 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/122 cm 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.

WARNING

Using hard water or bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate
abnormally.

CAUTION

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.

installing your washer

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 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 to the
pump, hoses and other components.

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.

2. 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.

3. Connect the other end of the Hot and Cold water supply

hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washing
machine.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.

operating instructions

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 or 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 imbalance
inside the drum.

• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your Washer in order 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.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your Washer.

2. Close the door.

Push the laundry into the drum completely to prevent the laundry from being caught in the door or
from falling out of the drum.

CAUTION

3. Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see page 58).

4. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see page 24).

5. Press the Start/Pause Button.

The drum automatically rotates and measures the weight of the laundry without supplying water in
order to adjust the wash time. (The rotating display on the display panel indicates that the weight of the
laundry is being measured.)

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 23)

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

continues.

• Pressing the Power button cancels the cycle and stops your washer.

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

•

Do not place anything on top of your washer while it is running.

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.

WARNING

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. Add all laundry additives 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:

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when
adding detergent.

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

When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid
detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. The
washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the
liquid detergent compartment.

Liquid detergent
compartment

Detergent compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment
before starting your Washer.

2. If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the 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.

58_ washing a load of laundry

WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec5:58WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec5:58 2012-11-28  2:07:422012-11-28  2:07:42

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.

• If high efficiency (HE) detergent is used, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Pre

Wash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount 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.

• Oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach can be added

to the drum prior to adding laundry.

• Put the laundry into the drum only after confirming

that the oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach has
completely entered the hole of the drum.

• However, to use powdered detergent and powder oxi-type boosters or powdered color-

safe bleach at the same time, it is more effective putting them in together and removing
the liquid detergent holder from the detergent compartment.

Fabric Softener

compartment

Bleach
compartment

03 washing a load of laundry

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. Dilute the fabric softener 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.

• DO NOT use the Downy Ball* in the fabric softener compartment with this Washer. It will

not add fabric softener at the appropriate time.
Use the detergent Compartment.

• It is not recommended using liquid fabric softener that is too sticky as it may not mix

with the water sufficiently.

QUESTION ANSWER

Where are the proper place to
install a washer or dryer?

How can I connect the
washer or dryer with a
smartphone stably?

What should I have to
do when the number of
the antenna bars that are
displayed on the LCD of the
washer or dryer is 1?

• Since a washer or dryer is heavy and connected with water, it should
be installed in the proper place. Installing the AP near the washer or
dryer is recommended. You can check the signal strength through
the setup screen of the washer or dryer or a smartphone.

• Since the performance is seriously a ected by a door or steel wall,
install the product in an open place. If there is door in front of the
installed product, open the door when using the product.

• Do not place an object maden with steel or glass in front of the front
LCD of the washer since it blocks the radio signal.

• Note that the radio signal may be weaken or interfered and the
communication with the smartphone may fail when a microwave oven
is used in the house.

• Install the washer or dryer so that the front of the product faces the
AP if available.

• When the signal strenth that is displayed on the LCE of the washer
or dryer is weak, the control may fail. Check the mark as follows or
measure the signal strength.

• At least 3 antenna bars should be displayed on the LCD of the

washer or dryer.

• At least 3 antenna bars for the Wi-Fi connection should be

displayed on the smartphone.

• When the signal strenth is measured with a smartphone app that

shows the Wi-Fi signal strength, the signal strength should be
stronger than -65 dBm. (E.g. -60 dBm and -50 dBm are stronger
than -65 dBm.)

• When the signal strenth that is displayed on the LCE of the washer
or dryer is weak, the control may fail. In this case, take the following
measures for normal operation.

• Move the AP closer to the washer or dryer.

(At least 3 antenna bars should be dislayed in the network setup
of the washer for proper operation.)

• Since old AP may provide lower performance, use new one if

available.

• Stand the antenna of the AP if available so that the radio signal is

more easily propagated.

- 29° C. (Wash water temperature must be a minimum of 60° F/16°C for detergent activation and effective
cleaning.) The clothes Washer may not ensure these temperatures because the actual water temperatures
entering your Washer are dependent on water heater settings and regional water supply temperatures. For
example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter may be 40° F/4° C which is
too cold for effective cleaning. The water temperature in this situation will need to be adjusted by selecting
a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line or using your Washer’s heating option, if
available.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)

You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public

Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you
know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights
or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you
if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can
get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) o er you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands
that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modifi ed by someone else and
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any

problems introduced by others will not refl ect on the original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the

danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in e ect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modifi cation follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION

1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the

copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the
Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to
say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifi cations
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation
in the term “modifi cation”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modifi cation are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.

2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive

it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
o er warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work

based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifi cations or work under the terms
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

1) You must cause the modifi ed fi les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed

the fi les and the date of any change.

2) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains

or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
to all third parties under the terms of this License.

3) If the modifi ed program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must

cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print
or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that
there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modifi ed work as a whole. If identifi able sections of that
work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to
the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written

76_ appendix

WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:76WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:76 2012-11-28  2:07:452012-11-28  2:07:45

entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative
or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program
(or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does
not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

4. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in

object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
also do one of the following:

1) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable source code, which

must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,

2) Accompany it with a written o er, valid for at least three years, to give any third party,

for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the o er to
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with
such an o er, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifi cations
to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all
modules it contains, plus any associated interface defi nition fi les, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by o ering access to copy from a
designated place, then o ering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled
to copy the source

along with the object code.

5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly

provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing

else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.

7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient

automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.

8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any

other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then

06 appendix

appendix _77

appendix

as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range
of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of
the rest of this License.

9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents

or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so
that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public

License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
but may di er in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifi es a version
number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution

conditions are di erent, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

12. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY

FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING

WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOV E , BE L I ABL E TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO

OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public,
the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of
each source fi le to most e ectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each fi le should have at
least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

one line to give the program’s name and an idea of what it does.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program;
if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive

welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c’ for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w’ and `show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than
`show w’ and `show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any,
to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

[This is the fi rst released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library
Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software
packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to
use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you fi rst think carefully about whether this license or
the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on
the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get
the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object fi les
to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library
and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we o er you
this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free
library. Also, if the library is modifi ed by someone else and passed on, the recipients should
know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author’s reputation will
not be a ected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to
make sure that a company cannot e ectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a
version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specifi ed in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public
License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated
libraries, and is quite di erent from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for
certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into nonfree programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the
combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library.
The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination
fi ts its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking
other code with the library.

We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the
user’s freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software
developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are
the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.

However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible

use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free

WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:80WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:80 2012-11-28  2:07:452012-11-28  2:07:45

programs must be allowed to use the library.
A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.

In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the
Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in nonfree programs enables a greater
number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU
C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating
system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does
ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the
wherewithal to run that program using a modifi ed version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modifi cation follow. Pay close
attention to the di erence between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the
library”. The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined
with the library in order to run.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION

1. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a

notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this License”). Each
licensee is addressed as “you”.

A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be
conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data)
to form executables.

The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed
under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the Library or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifi cations and/or translated straightforwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modifi cation”.)

“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifi cations to
it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
plus any associated interface defi nition fi les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modifi cation are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted,
and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it).

Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the
Library does.

2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you

receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each
copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this
License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
o er warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work

based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifi cations or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

1) The modifi ed work must itself be a software library.

2) You must cause the fi les modifi ed to carry prominent notices stating that you changed

06 appendix

appendix _81

WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:81WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:81 2012-11-28  2:07:452012-11-28  2:07:45

appendix

the fi les and the date of any change.

3) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties

under the terms of this License.

4) If a facility in the modifi ed Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by

an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith e ort to ensure that, in the event an
application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely
well-defi ned independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that
any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modifi ed work as a whole. If identifi able sections of that
work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to
the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not
the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective
works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

4. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this

License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to
this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead
of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public
License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make
any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU
General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that
copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program
that is not a library.

5. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in

object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by o ering access to copy from a designated place,
then o ering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfi es the
requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to
copy the source along with the object code.

6. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work

with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”.
Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the
scope of this License.

However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that
is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work
that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states
terms for distribution of such executables.

When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header fi le that is part of the

82_ appendix

WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:82WF455AG-03159A-04_EN.indd Sec8:82 2012-11-28  2:07:452012-11-28  2:07:45

Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though
the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially signifi cant if the work can be linked
without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not
precisely defi ned by law.

If such an object fi le uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors,
and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the
object fi le is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables
containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for
the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under
Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

7. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the

Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute
that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modifi cation of the work
for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifi cations.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it
and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of
this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

1) Accompany the work wi th the complet e corresponding machine-readable source

code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be
distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with
the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object
code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to
produce a modifi ed executable containing the modifi ed Library. (It is understood that the
user who changes the contents of defi nitions fi les in the Library will not necessarily be
able to recompile the application to use the modifi ed defi nitions.)

2) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable

mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the
user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
will operate properly with a modifi ed version of the library, if the user installs one, as long
as the modifi ed version is interfacecompatible with the version that the work was made
with.

3) Accompany the work with a written o er, valid for at least three years, to give the same

user the materials specifi ed in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost
of performing this distribution.

4) If distribution of the work is made by o ering access to copy from a designated place,

o er equivalent access to copy the above specifi ed materials from the same place.

5) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have

already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any
data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a
special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary
libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means
you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

8. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single

library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such
a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library

06 appendix

appendix _83

appendix

and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two
things:

1) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library,

uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of
the Sections above.

2) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based

on the Library, and explaining where to fi nd the accompanying uncombined form of the
same work.

9. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly

provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

10. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing

else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.

11. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient

automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or
modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

12. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any

other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then
as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by
public license practices.

Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/
donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of
the rest of this License.

13. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents

or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so
that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

14. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser

General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the

84_ appendix

present version, but may di er in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Library specifi es a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later

version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify
a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.

15. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution

conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

16. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY

FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

17. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRI T ING

WI L L ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/
OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO
OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries If you develop a new library, and you want
it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these
terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the
start of each source fi le to most e ectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each fi le should
have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

one line to give the library’s name and an idea of what it does.

caractéristiques principales de
votre nouveau lave-linge Smart
PowerFoam™

1. VRT PLUS™ (Vibration Reduction Technology - Système de
réduction des vibrations)

Ce lave-linge Samsung permet de réduire le bruit et les vibrations grâce à ses capteurs de
vibrations 3D et sa technologie de commande intelligente, son fonctionnement est donc
plus silencieux.

2. Tambour grande capacité

Le lave-linge Samsung très grande capacité permet de laver un jeu de draps complet,
une couette « King Size » (grande taille) ou 32 serviettes de bain en un seul chargement.
Résultat : vous économisez du temps, de l'argent, de l'eau et de l'électricité.

3. PowerFoam™

Le système PowerFoam de Samsung permet d'obtenir encore plus de propreté tout en
protégeant vos tissus les plus fragiles. PowerFoam permet de distribuer de façon équitable
la lessive et de pénétrer les tissus en profondeur et plus rapidement.

4. PureCycle™ (programme de nettoyage du tambour)

Nettoyez le tambour avec un seul bouton ! Le programme Pure Cycle a été conçu
spécialement pour éliminer les résidus de lessive et la saleté accumulés dans le tambour, le
diaphragme et le hublot en verre sans ajouter de nettoyant chimique spécial.

5. SpeedSpray™

La nouvelle technologie Speed Spray de Samsung vous économise jusqu'à 25% du temps
lorsque vous effectuez une lessive en raccourcissant les temps de lavage tout en conservant
tous les cycles du procédé de lavage et en garantissant la propreté de votre linge.

*Basé sur des charges de 8 livres (4 kg), cycle Normal (Niveau de salissure Normal sans
aucune option), sur les lave-linge à chargement frontal Samsung 4.3 cu.ft (120 litres)
précédents et existants livrés jusqu'en 2011 sans la fonction Speed Spray.

**Speed Spray effectue les cycles Normal, Literie Plus, VAPEURS PROF., Anti-tache et

La molette centrale permet de sélectionner facilement des programmes dans les deux
sens et l’affichage est simple à utiliser et à comprendre.

11. Moteur à entraînement direct

La puissance absolue ! Notre moteur inverseur à entraînement direct génère la puissance
directement dans le tambour à partir d'un moteur réversible à vitesse variable. Un moteur
à entraînement direct sans courroie génère une vitesse d'essorage plus élevée de 1 300 tr/
min afin d'offrir un fonctionnement plus silencieux et efficace. Le lave-linge dispose
également de moins de pièces mobiles, ce qui signifie moins de réparations.

12. Stérilisation

Lorsque vous sélectionnez ce programme, l'eau chauffe jusqu'à atteindre une
température extrêmement élevée, de manière à éliminer 99,9% des bactéries que l'on
trouve typiquement dans les vêtements, la literie ou le linge de toilette. Cette procédure
de certification est dirigée par NSF International, un organisme indépendant d'essais et
d'homologation.

Veuillez consulter l’étiquette d’entretien de vos vêtements afin d’éviter tout dommage.
Seuls les programmes de stérilisation ont été conçus de manière à répondre aux
exigences imposées par le protocole d'efficacité de la stérilisation.
