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:

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.
c

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 top of the washer.
Screw the hose clockwise all the way in.

If the water tap has a screw type faucet, connect

a

the water supply hose to the tap as shown.

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.

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.

Washing a Load of Laundry

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.

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
Coloured/cotton
-average/lightly soiled
-heavily soiled
Synthetics
Delicates
Wools

Load Capacity
6.0 kg
6.0 kg
3.0 kg
2.5 kg
2.0 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.
Note:
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Electrical warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in
mind:
Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other.
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact
your electrician to replace your outlet.
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are
unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the unit.
Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or
electric shock.
