WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing or drying compartment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions

that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washer or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time.

MEETING THE iNSTALLATiON REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

_ Never use an extension cord. WARN,NGUse only the power cord that comes with your washer.

When preparing the installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

An AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker An individual branch circuit dedicated to your washer

Your washer must be grounded. If your washer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Your washer comes with a power cord that has a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Z_ Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or hot water pipes.

WARNING

Z_ Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock.

WARN,NGCheck with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washer is properly

grounded.

ADo not modify the plug provided with the washer. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper

OAGT,ONoutlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Important safety precautions

z_To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and

OAGT,ONgrounding 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.

Water supply

Your washer will fill properly when your water pressure is between 20 psi (137 kPa)to 116 psi (800 kPa). A water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause a water valve failure and not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Alternatively, it may take the washer than allowed by the controls, causing your washer to turn off. (A fill-time limit has been built into the controls,

designed to prevent overflows or flooding if an internal hose becomes loose.) The water taps must be within 4 feet (122 cm) of the back of your washer for the provided water

supply hoses to reach your washer.

Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet

(305 cm)long.

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

,, Making water taps easily accessible. ,, Turning off water taps when the washer is not in use.

Periodically checking the water supply hose fittings for leaks.

Before using your washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and

taps for leaks.

WARNING

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

CAUTION abnormally.

In._tallinr_ volt w_tfCh_qr 17

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 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. Wooden floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and

soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.

_ Never install your washer on a platform or poorly supported structure.

WARNING

Surrounding temperature

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer always retain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause

damage to the belts, the pump and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washer requires the following minimum clearances:

Sides 1 in / 25 mm Rear 5.9 in / 150mm

17 in/432 mm Front 2 in / 51 mm

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

specific air opening.

high pressure hose.

1. Connect one end of the COLD water supply hose to the COLD water supply intake at the back of the washer. Cold

2. Tighten part (A) by hand until it is snug, then make two- thirds of a turn with a wrench.

3. On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose and install each water supply hose to the faucet.

[_ Make sure the hose with the printed word HOT is

attached to the HOT faucet.

Tighten part (A) by hand until it is snug, then make two- thirds of a turn with a wrench.

[_For the correct water use, connect both the HOT

and COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an "nF" (no fill) error can occur.

_ fter you have connected the water supply hose to

the faucet, ensure that it is connected correctly by pulling the water supply hose downwards.

_ Check if the water supply hose is not twisted or bent. WARN_,_Ifthe hose is twisted or bent, there is a danger of a

Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Over the edge of a wash basin

The drain hose must be placed at a height between 23.6 in

(60cm) and 35.4 in (90cm). To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to

prevent the drain hose from moving. In a standpipe or laundry tub

We recommend using a 20 in (52 cm) high vertical pipe or

laundry tub. It must be no shorter than 18 in (46 cm) and no longer than 96 in (245 cm).

Make sure that the connection between the drain hose

and the standpipe is NOT airtight. If drain hose is installed below 18"(46cm), water can be drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It

causes the washer to "nF" error.

_ rain Hose can be installed until 96"(245cm) maximum.

But drain capability can be reduced at this height. It causes the washer to have odor, because of remained

water inthe drain system.

i_ Connection the hose guide within 6"(15cm) from the end

of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 6"(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or

microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.
