key features of your new

PowerFoam™ washer

1. Extra Large Capacity

Samsung’s extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a kingsize comforter, or up to 28 bath towels in a single load. Since you don’t have to do as many loads, you save time, money, water, and energy.

2. PowerFoam™

Samsung’s eff ective PowerForm delivers improved cleanliness with advanced fabric care.

PowerFoam allows detergent to disperse evenly and penetrate fabrics faster and deeper.

3. SpeedSpray™

Samsung’s new SpeedSpray technology saves you time by shortening wash times while still keeping all portions of the washing process and getting your clothes clean.

SpeedSpray performs in Normal, Bedding PLUS, Deep Steam, Stain Away and Eco Cold cycle and the saving time may vary by cycles and various load and option compositions.

4. Smart Care

Samsung’s Smart Care, an automatic error-monitoring system, detects and diagnoses problems at an early stage and provides quick and easy solutions.

5. VRT™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.

6. Pure Cycle™ (Tub Cleaning cycle)

Clean your drum with one button! Pure Cycle is specially designed to remove detergent residue and dirt buildup in the tub, diaphragm, and on the door glass without the need for special chemical detergents.

7. Deep steam

The Deep Steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, providing superior cleaning results.

8. Diamond drum™

Takes gentle care of your fabrics. With inside holes 36 % smaller than those of conventional drums,the diamond drum prevents fabrics from sticking out through the holes and consequently being damaged.

9. Woolmark Certifi ed

The machine wash wool cycle on Samsung machines has been tested and has passed the required Woolmark Company specifi cation for machine washable wool products. Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as specifi ed by

Woolmark and Samsung.

10. Digital display & Center jog dial

The jog dial enables you to select cycles in both directions with ease, and the display is easy to use and understand.

11. DD Motor

The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates a higher spin speed of 1200 rpm for more eff ective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your washer is recommended.

• Your washer is equipped with a power cord.

CAUTION

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Grounding

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded three-prong outlet.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent unnecessary risk of fi re, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.

70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

CAUTION

NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR

HOT WATER PIPES.

Water

Using bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate abnormally.

To correctly fi ll your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-

800 kPa) is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fi ll time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off . A time limit is built into the controls to prevent extensive fl ooding in your home if an internal hose becomes loose.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm of the back of your washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your washer.

Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305 cm for faucets that are further away from the back of your washer.

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible

• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.

• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fi ttings.

WARNING

CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

14_ Installing your washer

2012-08-31 12:35:55

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 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, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed fl oor. Wood fl oors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Freezing water can damage the belts,the pump, hoses and other components.

STEP 3

Installing your Washer

1. If you use a stand pipe, make sure the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is NOT airtight. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46 cm high.

You must always exercise caution to avoid collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best results, the drain hose should not be restricted in any way – by elbows, couplings, or excessive length. For situations where the drain hose cannot be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must be supported.

Do not insert the drain hose too far into the stand pipe: 6 - 8 inches, and no more.

96” Max

18” Min

Laundry tub

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fi ll hose.

Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections.

This will determine the tumble pattern and spin speed for the cycle.

To minimize wrinkling of laundry, select the Perm Press cycle.

Eco Cold - Provides useful, gentle, and energy saving daily care for normally and lightly soiled laundry using only cold water.

This cylce cleans as eff ectively as the warm wash setting on the

Conventional Normal* cycle under Normal and Light Soil level options.

(Cleaning performance of Eco Cold cycle may not be equal to conventional

Normal cycle under the heavy soil level option) For best result, we recommend using for loads of 8 pounds or less.

* Conventional Normal cycle - Normal cycle on previous and existing Samsung front loading washers released until 2009 without PowerFoam.

Normal - For most fabrics including cottons, linens, and normally soiled garments.

Heavy Duty - For sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments.

Bedding PLUS - For bulky items such as blankets, comforters and sheets.

When you are washing bulky items, use liquid detergent

Sanitize - For heavily soiled, colorfast garments. This cycle heats the water to

150 °F to eliminate bacteria.

26_ washing a load of laundry

2012-08-31 12:35:59

DETERGENT USE

Your Washer is designed to use high effi ciency (HE) detergents.

• For best cleaning results, use a high effi ciency detergents such as

Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE, or Gain HE*. High effi ciency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more effi ciently and cleaning is maximized.

WARNING

Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please use HE detergents only.

Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

FEATURES

Automatic dispenser

Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting your washer.

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.

Usage Pointers:

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.

• This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which the washer adds to the load at the beginning of the cycle.

Before using powdered detergent, remove the Liquid

Detergent holder from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense from the Liquid Detergent holder.

Liquid Detergent

Pre wash compartment

Detergent compartment

• Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting your washer.

washing a load of laundry _27

2012-08-31 12:35:59

washing a load of laundry

Pre wash compartment

When using the Pre Wash option, add detergent to both the Pre Wash compartment and the detergent compartment. The washer will automatically dispense the detergent during Pre Wash.

• If you use a high effi ciency (HE) detergent, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Pre

Wash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the detergent compartment.

Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

2. Avoid splashing or over–fi lling the compartment.

3. Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the appropriate time.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches the wash load.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fi bers or color loss, if not used properly.

• Oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.

• Put the laundry into the drum only after confi rming that the oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach has completely entered the hole of the drum.

• To use powdered detergent and powder oxi-type boosters or powdered color-safe bleach at the same time, it is more eff ective to put them in the drum together before adding the laundry. When you use powdered detergent, remember to remove the Liquid

Detergent holder from the detergent compartment.

Fabric Softener compartment

Bleach compartment

Fabric softener compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment.

For smaller loads, use less than one capful.

2. Dilute the fabric softener with water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.

3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.

• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.

• DO NOT use a Downy Ball* in the Fabric softener compartment of this washer. It will not be added at the appropriate time.

Use the detergent compartment.

* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

If you overfi ll the detergent, bleach, or softener compartments, the contents of the compartment will automatically be released into the washer. This could damage any garments that are in the drum.

Door locked or will not open.

Has an odor.

• Turn both faucets on fully.

• Make sure the temperature selection is correct.

• Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets.

Flush water lines.

• Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120 °F

(49 °C) hot water at the tap. Also check the water heater capacity and recovery rate.

• Disconnect the hoses and clean the screens. The hose fi lter screens may be plugged.

• As your washer is fi lling, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal.

• While your washer is fi lling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when you have selected cold or warm wash temperatures. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature as your washer determines the temperature of the water.

• Press the Start/Pause Button to stop your washer.

• Your washer door will remain locked during the heating portion of the

Sanitize Cycle

• It may take a few moments for the door lock mechanism to disengage.

• The load is too small. Very small loads (one or two items) may become unbalanced and not spin out completely.

• Make sure the door is fi rmly closed.

• Make sure all hose connections are tight.

• Make sure the end of the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to the drainage system.

• Avoid overloading.

• Use high effi ciency detergent to prevent over–sudsing.

Has excessive suds. • Use high effi ciency detergent to prevent over-sudsing.

• Reduce the detergent amount for soft water, small or lightly soiled loads.

• Non-HE detergent is NOT recommended.

• Excessive suds collect in nooks and crannies and can cause foul odors.

• Run cleansing cycles to sanitize the machine periodically. (Silver Care or Sanitize Cycle or Pure Cycle)

MEANING SOLUTION

Unbalanced load prevented your washer from spinning.

Redistribute the load, press the Start/

Pause button.

Door is open when washer is running.

Close the door tightly and restart the cycle.

If the code reappears, call for service.

Your washer failed to lock the door.

Close the door tightly and restart the cycle.

If the code reappears, call for service.

Call for service. This error code appears when the heater is 96 °C or above.

Your washer has tried to fi ll, but has not reached the proper water level.

Call for service.

Call for service.

The door will not unlock.

Make sure the door is fi rmly closed.

Press the Power button to turn off your washer, then turn it on again. If the code reappears, call for service.

Your washer is not draining.

It can also mean that the unit senses a small clog while draining.

Clean the drain fi lter. Then, clean the debris fi lter (See page 30).

If you are in the middle of a wash you can try this fi rst:

1. Turn off the unit for 10 seconds and then turn it on again.

2. Select the Spin Only cycle (See page

23).

3. Press the Start/Pause to drain the water.

If it still does not drain, call for service.

Your washer has tried to fi ll but was unsuccessful.

Make sure the water faucets are open all the way. Check for kinked hoses.

Check the inlet screens on the fi ll hoses.

If you use a Flood Safety Device, then please remove the device and connect the water hoses directly to the unit.

Check if the hot water supply hose is connected.

You must connect the hot water supply hose because hot water is supplied by the Auto Temperature Control (A.T.C.) function if the temperature of the cold water is lower than 59°F.

** The dot symbols represent appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature range for Hot is 105° - 125 °F / 41° - 52 °C, for Warm 85° - 105 °F / 29° - 41 °C and for Cold 60° - 85 °F

/ 16° - 29 °C. (Wash water temperature must be a minimum of 60 °F / 16 °C for detergent activation and eff ective cleaning.) The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of the water entering your washer is dependent on water heater settings and regional water supply temperatures. For example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter may be

40 °F / 4 °C which is too cold for eff ective cleaning. The water temperature in this situation will need to be adjusted by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line or using your washer’s heating option, if available.
