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 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.(Allowable is 1 °)

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.

SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions 3

Installing the Washing Machine

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 for gap about 5mm between them.

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.

a b a b c

4. Connect the water supply hose to the adaptor. Pull down the part (c) of the water supply hose. When you release part (c) the hose is 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 is a screw type,assemble a water supply hose that fits 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.

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. Connect the cold water supply hose(Blue) fitting with the L-shaped arm to the cold water supply intake(Blue) on the back of the washing machine and hand tighten.

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. Connect the hot water supply hose(Red) fitting with the L-shaped arm to the hot water supply intake(Red) on the back of the washing machine and hand tighten.

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

3. If you want to use only cold water, use Y-piece.

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.

90 cm

60 cm

In 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.

4 SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions

Installing the Washing Machine

In a drain pipe

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

The inside of the drain pipe must be wider than the diameter of the drain.

The drain hose can be extended to a length of up to 180 cm. Use an extension with an internal diameter at least equal to the diameter of the original hose and a suitable fitting. The hose extension will run along the floor and only the part near the drainage point will be raised.

Plugging in the machine

For European Users. You will NOT need to ground the plug of the washing machine.

For U.S. Users.

You MUST ground the plug of the washing machine.

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.

• Color: Divide whites and colors. Wash new, colored 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.

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.

16 SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions

• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended in the detergent manufacturers’ instructions.

• Use stain removal products and bleaches before the wash cycle only when strictly necessary.

• Save water and electricity by only washing full loads (the exact amount depends upon the program used).
