Meeting the installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
WARNING: Never use an extension cord.
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.
When preparing the installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
• An AC 220 - 240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker
• An individual branch circuit dedicated to your washing machine
Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks down,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord that has a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
WARNING: Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is properly grounded.
CAUTION: Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Water supply
Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is between 50 kPa to 800 kPa. A
water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause a water valve failure and not allow the water valve to shut
off completely. Alternatively, the washing machine controls may not handle the pressure and cause the
washing machine to turn off. (A fill-time limit has been built into the controls, designed to prevent overflows
or flooding if an internal hose becomes loose.)
The water taps must be within 120 cm of the back of your washing machine for the provided water supply
hoses to reach your washing machine.
Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply hoses of various lengths up to 305 cm long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Making water taps easily accessible.
• Turning off water taps when the washing machine is not in use.
• Periodically checking the water supply hose fittings for leaks.
WARNING: Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for leaks.
F400E_WF60F4E-03251J-01_EN.indd 14 2013-01-17 �� 5:16:52
15
Setting up your washing machine
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65 cm. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose
clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose is attached at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, your washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wooden floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces
are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing machine to move slightly during
the spin cycle.
WARNING: Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.
Surrounding temperature
Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing machine always
retains some water in the water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause damage to
the belts, the pump, and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires the following minimum clearances:
Sides 25 mm
Top 25 mm
Rear * 50 mm
Front 500 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have
an unobstructed air opening of at least 500 mm. Your washing machine by itself does not require a specific
air opening.
F400E_WF60F4E-03251J-01_EN.indd 15 2013-01-17 �� 5:16:52
16
Installing your washing machine
CAUTION: Do not plug the power cord into a wall socket before the installation is complete.
WARNING: Packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic
bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.
STEP 1 - Selecting a location
Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
• Is away from direct sunlight
• Has adequate ventilation
• Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (below 0 ˚C)
• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
• Has enough space so that the washing machine doesn’t stand on its power cord
STEP 2 - Removing the shipping bolts
Before installing the washing machine, you must remove all shipping bolts from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the wrench.
(*): Optional
2. Hold the shipping bolt with your hand and pull it through the
wide section of the hole. Repeat for each shipping bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied bolt hole covers.
4. Store all shipping bolts in a safe location where they can be
easily retrieved in the event that you have to move the washing
machine.

Using your washing machine
Using your washing machine
With your new Samsung washing machine, the hardest part of doing laundry will be deciding which load to
wash first.
Detergent and Additives Information
Using the proper detergent
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool),
colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use "low suds" laundry detergent, which is designed
for automatic washing machines.
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 area. If you do not know how hard your water is, enquire at
your local water authority.
Do not use detergent that has hardened or solidified as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It
may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overflow becoming blocked.
Using the detergent drawer
Your washing machine has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and fabric softener.
Add all laundry additives to the correct compartments before starting your washing machine.
CAUTION: Do not open the detergent drawer while the washing machine is running.
You might be exposed to hot water or steam.
When washing large items, do not use the following types of detergent.
• Tablet and capsule type detergent
• Detergent using a ball and net
Prewash detergent compartment: Detergent for prewash,
or starch.
Main wash detergent compartment: Detergent for the main
wash, water softener, pre-soaking agent, bleach and stain
removal product.
Softener compartment: Additives, e.g. fabric softener (fill no
higher than the lower edge (MAX) of "A").
1. Pull out the detergent drawer on the left side of the washing
machine.
2. Add the recommended amount of laundry detergent into the
main wash detergent compartment
before starting your

Using the Cycle Selector
Cycle Usage
Cotton
For averagely or lightly soiled cottons, bed linen, table linen, underwear, towels,
shirts, etc.
For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended spin cycle speed is 800 rpm
(for a load of 2.0 kg or less).
6kg-class models do not have a function for washing bedding.
Synthetics
For averagely or lightly soiled blouses, shirts, etc., made of polyester (diolen,
trevira), polyamide (perlon, nylon) or other similar blends.
15’ Quick Wash
For lightly soiled garments and less than 2 kg laundry that you require quickly.
It takes a minimum of about 15 minutes, but can vary from the indicated values
depending on the water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature,
room temperature, type and amount of washing and degree of soiling, utilized
detergent unbalanced load, fluctuation in the electricity supply and any extra
options selected.
CAUTION: There should be less than 20 g of detergent (for 2 kg load) or
detergent may remain on the clothes.
Baby Care
A high temperature wash and extra rinse cycles ensure that no powdered
detergent remains to harm your baby's skin.
Daily Wash For everyday items such as underwear and shirts.
Stain Away
For stained clothing. The Stain Away cycle provides outstanding stain removal
performance of the utmost care, avoiding the need for the pre-treatment of
stains. For the best stain removal performance, we recommend using the hot
temperature option in this cycle, where the wash temperature is increased
using the internal heater for the overall cleaning of a wide variety of stains.
Super Eco Wash
The low temperature Super Eco Wash cycle ensures that you achieve perfect
wash results while allowing for effective energy savings.
Outdoor Care
For water-proof items such as mountain clothing, skiwear, and sportswear.
Fabrics include functional technology finishes and fibres such as spandex,
stretch, and micro-fibre.
Wool
Only for machine-washable wool. A load should be less than 2.0 kg. (6 kg-class
model: 1.5 kg)
The Wool cycle washes the laundry using a gentle cradling action. During the
wash cycle, the gentle cradling and soaking actions are continued to protect
the wool fibres from shrinkage/distortion and for a super gentle clean. This
stop/start operation by the washing machine during the soaking action is not
a malfunction.
A neutral detergent is recommended for the Wool cycle, for improved washing
results and for improved care of the wool fibres.
Hand Wash A very light wash cycle as gentle as a hand wash.
Spin Performs an additional spin cycle to remove more water.
Rinse+Spin
For a load that only needs rinsing or to add a rinse-added fabric softener to a
load.

Laundry guidelines
Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efficient wash.
Always check the care label on clothing before washing.
Sort and wash your laundry according to the following criteria:
• Care Label: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools and rayons.
• Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash colour items separately.
• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the wash action.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using a delicate wash cycle for pure, new woollen items,
curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the "Fabric care
chart" section on page 39.
Emptying pockets
Before each wash, empty all the pockets of your laundry items. Small, irregularly shaped hard objects, such as
coins, knives, pins, and paperclips can damage your washing machine.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal objects. Metal on clothing may
damage your clothing as well as the drum. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out
before washing them. If zips of pants and jackets are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zips
should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.
Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to fix the
strings before starting the wash.
Prewashing cotton
Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, saving
you energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, perform a prewash cycle
with a protein-based detergent.
