WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury, death and/or
property damage.
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
NOTE
Indicates that a risk of personal injury or material damage exists.
These warning signs are here to prevent injury to yourself and others.
Please follow them explicitly.
After reading this manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
As with any equipment that uses electricity and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operation and exercise care
when using it.
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
specically 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.

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.
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 faucets 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.
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 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.
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.

service center. A water leak may cause
electric shock.
• Do not stretch the water hose by force.
If the hose is too short, replace the hose
with a longer, high-pressure hose.
• To prevent leaks, make sure both water
hoses are not bent or kinked. A water
leak may cause electric shock.
1. Connect one end of each water hose to
the Hot or Cold tap.
2. Turn the ttings by hand until they are
tight, and then tighten them by just an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a
plier. Do not overtighten the ttings.
You can damage them.
3. When done, pull the water hoses up
and down to check if they are properly
connected.

hoses to the corresponding inlets on the
rear of the machine as specied. Make
sure the hot water hose is connected to
the hot inlet, and the cold water hose to
the cold inlet.
6. Repeat step 2 above on the other
ttings. Make sure both water hoses
are connected properly. See the ‘4C’
information code for troubleshooting.
7. Open both faucets, and check if there is
a leak.
NOTE
If you do not want to use the hot water
hose, insert the inlet cap into the hot water
inlet. In this case, you must select Tap Cold
for the water temperature. All other water
indicators turn off.
CAUTION
To prevent water hoses from being bent or
kinked, make sure there is at least a 6 inch
(150 mm) space between the washer and
the rear wall.
The drain hose can be positioned in the following ways.
Over the edge of a wash basin
The drain hose must be placed at a height
of between 24 in. (60 cm) and 35 in.
(90 cm) from the oor. To keep the spout
of the drain hose bent, use the supplied
plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide
to the wall using a hook to ensure stable
drainage.

E
The laundry tub (B) or standpipe (C) must
be no shorter than 18 in. (46 cm) and
no higher or longer than 96 inches (245
cm). Make sure the drain hose and the
standpipe are not airtight.
• Connect the hose guide (A) within 6 in.
(15 cm)* of the end of the drain hose.
If the drain hose is extended beyond
the end of the hose guide, mold or
microorganisms could spread inside the
washer.
• The drain hose can be installed up to
96 in. (245 cm) high, but the draining
capability can be reduced at the
maximum height. Water remaining in
the drain system may cause an odor.
• If the drain hose is installed less than
18 in. (46 cm) high, water can be
drained during the process due to a
siphon phenomenon. If this happens, a
‘4C’ information code appears on the
display.
Wall standpipe drain system
The drain hose must be placed into a wall
standpipe drain system. To keep the end of
the drain hose bent, use the supplied hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the wall
using a hook to ensure stable drainage.
STEP 6 Power on
Plug the power cord into an AC 120 V / 60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a
fuse or circuit breaker. Then, press POWER to turn on the washer.
