Safety Precautions
Congratulations on your purchase of this Samsung washing machine. These Owner's
Instructions contain valuable information on the installation, use, and care of this appliance.
Please take the time to read these instructions so that you can take full advantage of the
washing machine's features and enjoy this appliance for many years to come.
Before using the appliance
• Packing materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packing material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.
• The appliance is designed for home use only.
• Make sure that water and electrical connections are made by qualified technicians, observing the
manufacturer's instructions (see "Installing the Washing Machine") and local safety regulations.
• All packaging and shipping bolts must be removed before the appliance is used. Serious
damage may occur if they are not removed. See "Removing the shipping bolts".
• Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes. See
"Washing for the first time".
Safety instructions
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance from the electrical
outlet or set the (On/Off) button to Off.
• Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty. Hard, sharp objects,
such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, or stones can cause extensive damage to the
appliance.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use.
• Before you open the door of the appliance, check that the water has drained.
Do not open the door if you can still see water.
• Pets and small children may climb into the appliance. Check the appliance before each
use.
• The glass door becomes very hot during the washing cycle. Keep children away from the
appliance while it is in use.
• Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs made by inexperienced or
unqualified persons may cause injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance
necessary.
• If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance should only be serviced by an authorized service center, and only genuine
spare parts should be used.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they
have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the
appliance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
• This appliance has to be connected to the plug endurable to proper power consumption.
• This appliance has to be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installation.
•
Do not use processed water containing oil, cream or lotion, which is usually found in skincare shops or massage clinics. Otherwise this will cause the packing to be deformed, which
causes a malfunction or water leak.
• A stainless washing tube does not usually rust. However if some metal such as a hair
pin is left in the tube for an extended time, the tube could rust. Do not leave water or
bleach containing chlorine in the tube for an extended period of time. Do not regularly
use or leave water containing iron in the tube for an extended period of time. If rust starts
appearing on the surface of the tube, apply a cleansing agent (neutral) to the surface and
use a sponge or soft cloth to clean it. (Under no circumstances use a metal brush)

Installing the Washing Machine
Selecting a location
Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following
characteristics:
• A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet,"
below)
• Away from direct sunlight.
• Adequate ventilation
• Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C
• Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas
Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.
Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is
installed on a carpeted floor.
Adjusting the leveling feet
If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects
under the feet):
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 supplied wrench.
• Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs.
(Only a l degrees angle is allowed.)
Removing the shipping bolts
Before using the washing machine, you must remove the five shipping bolts from the
back of the unit. To remove the bolts:
2
1
3
1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.
2.
Take each bolt head and pull it through the wide part of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4. Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
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.
NOTICE 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.

4. Connect the water supply hose to the
adaptor. Pull down part (c) of the water
c
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 top of the washer. Screw the hose
clockwise all the way in.
•
If the water tap has a screw type faucet,
connect the water supply hose to the tap as
shown.
Installing the Washing Machine
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 and you do not wish to move the water
faucet, 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.
Note: The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and
that old hose-sets should not be used.
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.
