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 qualied 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 qualied 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.
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

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
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 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-7 26Untitled-7 26 4/2/2020 2:57:58 PM4/2/2020 2:57:58 PM
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
efciency 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
The type of detergent you use - general purpose, specically for woolens, etc. - depends
on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and
degree of soiling. Regardless of the specic 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
efciency (HE) detergents.
• For the best cleaning results, use a high
efciency detergent such as Tide HE,
Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High
efciency detergents contain suds
suppressors that reduce or eliminate
suds. When fewer suds are produced,
the load tumbles more efciently and
cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names
are trademarks of their respective
manufacturers.)
WARNING
For best results, use HE detergents only.
Do not use non-HE detergent, organic
detergent, natural detergent or HE
detergents with natural ingredients (such
as vinegar, baking soda).
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 .

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.
