Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following
Safety Precautions
1. Read all safety instructions before using the
appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to bad weather..
4. Install and level the washing machine on a floor that can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion: a. Do not wash or dry items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances. Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
c. 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 washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub is moving.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user- repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washing machine.
12. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them.
13. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
14. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
15. Do not wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.
16. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
17. Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.
18. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
19. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.

SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions A-3
Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
Use of extension cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding­type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.
Preferred method of grounding
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Your washer should be the only appliance on this circuit.

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 fibers, 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 program 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. 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
Coloured/Normal WF-J1254/J1054/J854
-average/lightly soiled 7.0 kg
-heavily soiled 7.0 kg
Perm Press 4.0 kg
Delicates 2.5 kg
Wools 2.0 kg
Detergent tips : The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, perm press, delicate items, knit/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.
