Important safety precautions

WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, 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 ammable 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
specically 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 ammable 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 ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.

Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit. Connect only the washer to the circuit.
To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are not sure about the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not t the outlet, call a qualied electrician to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the washer.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of re, 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.
Installation
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 ll the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Water taps must be within 4 ft. (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 water taps are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the rst time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.

Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in. (460 mm) 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 oor. Wood oors 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.
Installation
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 can 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 bers, 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 woolen 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 xed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.
English26
Untitled-3 26 2019-07-26 PM 12:19:02
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 ne 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 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 efciency may be reduced.
For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin level is Level 2 or Level 3, 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 spinning performance.
STEP 5 Add the correct detergent type
Before you start
The type of detergent you use - general purpose, specically for woolens, etc. - depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Regardless of the specic type of detergent you use, 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 your local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. Powdered detergent used with the WOOL cycle can remain on the laundry and discolor it.

A
Use HE detergent only
Before you start
Your washer is designed to use high efciency (HE) detergents.
• For the best cleaning results, use a high efciency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efciency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efciently and cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)
WARNING
Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.

Detergent drawer guidelines

The washer provides a three-compartment dispenser: the front-left compartment for the main wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear-right for the liquid chlorine bleach.
A. Main-wash compartment: Add main-
wash detergent, water softener, soaking detergent, color–safe, and/or stain removers.
B. Softener compartment: Add fabric
softener. Do not exceed the max line.
C. Bleach compartment: Add liquid
chlorine bleach. Do not exceed the max line.

• Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating.
• Do not use the following types of detergent:
- Tablet or capsule types
- Ball or net types
• To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents (fabric softener or detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.
To add washing agents to the detergent drawer
1. Slide open the detergent drawer.
2. Add liquid laundry detergent to the
liquid detergent container in the main wash compartment.
CAUTION
• Make sure the liquid detergent container is inserted in the main wash compartment.
• Do not exceed the marked max line (A).
NOTE
• Do not add powdered laundry detergent or other powdered laundry agents to the liquid laundry container.
• To use powdered detergent, see page
30.
Before you start
3. Add fabric softener to the softener
compartment. Do not exceed the max line (B).

Before you start
To use powdered detergent
First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the main- wash compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the main-wash compartment according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Do not add powdered detergent to the liquid detergent container.
Before you start
To use the bleach compartment
To use oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach
Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the
bleach compartment. Do not exceed the max line.
CAUTION
Do not add undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly to the load or to the drum. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the bers or color loss if not used properly.
Oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach can increase washing performance. Make sure to add the oxygen booster or color-safe bleach after putting the laundry into the drum.
NOTE
To use both powdered detergent and powdered oxygen booster or powdered color-safe bleach, it is more effective to put them together into the drum before loading the laundry.
