Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.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.

|
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, |

electrical shock, or personal injury, all |
||
|
||
|
wiring and grounding must be done in |
|
|
accordance with local codes, or in the |
|
|
absence of local codes, in accordance |
|
|
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ |
|
|
NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the |
|
|
U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA |
|
|
C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes |
|
|
and ordinances. It is your responsibility |
|
|
to provide adequate electrical service |
|
|
for your washer. |
Water supply
Proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa).
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washer. To reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure faucets are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
16 English
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in (46 cm) high. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.
Flooring
For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
•Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
•Color: Separate whites from colors.
•Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
•Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
•Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
•If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
•Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
•Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
•Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
•Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washer and result in injury.

|
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use the Prewash option if you will be adding detergent manually to the drum.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washer. Overloading may cause the washer to wash improperly.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin level is “Low or Medium Spin”, and the load capacity is 3.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub” information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent which is designed for automatic washers.
NOTE
•Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
•Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with WOOL, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolor the laundry.
Use HE detergent only Beforeyou
start
Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
•For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent 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. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)
WARNING
Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.
