These are washing programs for the clothing of children with sensitive skin. These programs aim to reduce skin irritation in children by minimizing detergent residues. In addition, these programs classify laundry into various types and washings are carried out according to the characteristics of each type so that children can feel refreshingly clean whenever they put on their clothes.

The Child Lock function keeps curious little hands out of the washer. This safety feature ensures, that children do not toy with the operation of the washer. It also alerts you when it is activated.

• Delay Start

This function enables uses to delay the washing machine’s starting time for up to 24 hours.

• Calm Wash

We have a wash cycle that is so quiet you can do laundry while you sleep. The spin cycle is whisper quiet as it drains away water.

• Less Iron (Option)

Less ironing is needed as Samsung’s Carefreewash safely cleans your soft, delicate cloths and easy-care fabrics. Developed by Samsung’s globally recognized digital process technology, the Less Iron function is a specialized laundry program that will help to reduce wrinkles on your delicate garments, freeing up the time you would have spent on ironing.

• Super Quick

No time to loose! Less than 30minutes wash will give you time to run out before it’s too late. Our 28minute Quick Wash program can be the solution to your busy life. Now you can wash your favorite clothes in only 28minutes, guaranteed!

• Delicates

Special care can be determined by the appropriate temperature, the gentle wash action and the appropriate amount of water.

• Silver Wash - Silver Nano Health System

Samsung’s silver Nano feature uses silver nano particles to sanitize and disinfect your laundry and your machine’s drum. Delicates as well as smelly socks will get odor-free from human sweat at temperature as low as 30˚C. That saves energy and protects color and shape of your clothes

• Away from direct sunlight.

• Adequate ventilation

• Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C

1. Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired height.

2. Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the wrench.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs. (Only a 1 degrees angle is allowed.)

REMOVING THE SHIPPING BOLTS

Before using the washing machine, you must remove all of the shipping bolts from the back of the unit. To remove the bolts:

1. Loosen all bolts with the wrench before removing them.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

To connect the water supply hose:

1. Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply hose and connect to the cold water

supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink’s cold water faucet and tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the washing machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating the hose, and retightening the fitting.

Option:

1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect to the red hot

water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink’s hot water faucet and tighten it by hand.

3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

Installing the washing machine _9

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE (OPTION)

1. Remove the adaptor from the water supply hose.

2. First, using a ‘+’ type screw driver, loosen the four screws on

the adaptor. Next, take the adaptor and turn part(b) following the arrow until there is a 5mm gap.

3. Connect adaptor to the water tap by tightening the screws firmly. Then, turn part (b) following the arrow and put(a) and (b) together.

4. Connect the water supply hose to the adaptor. Pull down part (c) of the water supply hose. When you release part (c) the hose automatically connects to the adaptor making a ‘click’ sound.

5. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washer. Screw the hose clockwise all the way in.

After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, then repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.

POSITIONING THE DRAIN HOSE

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

Over the edge of a sink

The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60 and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.

ln a sink drain pipe branch

The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.

ln a drain pipe

Samsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.

WASHING TIPS AND HINTS

Sorting your laundry: Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:

• Type of fabric care label symbol: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks,

wools and rayon.

• Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.

• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.

• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash programme for pure

new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart in the appendix.

Emptying pockets: Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing machine drum, and the water tank.

Securing fasteners: Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Prewashing cotton: Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.

Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.

Fabric Type

Load Capacity

WF6522, WF6520

Cotton/Heavy/Soak wash

5.5 kg

Quick

3.0 kg

Delicates

2.0 kg

Wool

1.5 kg

Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.

Always use “low suds” laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the

degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, ask your water authority.

Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
