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 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 1 degrees angle is allowed.)

3

Installing the Washing Machine

Removing the shipping bolts

Before using the washing machine, you must remove all of the shipping bolts from the back of the unit. To remove the bolts:

1. Loosen all bolts with the 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

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.

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

WM stops the current step of the cycle or does not proceed to the next step of washing (indication of remain time on LED display may increase).

Your new washing machine is equipped with Fuzzy Logic system, which not only sets the optimum level of water and other parameters of washing, but also controls the washing process as well as makes necessary corrections in order to provide better washing results. In the above- mentioned matter, the Fuzzy Logic system has detected deviations in washing cycle such as: high quantity of detergent at the end of the cycle, high vibration level while spinning, etc.You can adjust existing wash programs, i.e. change wash temperature and spin speed. After detection of such abnormalities, the washing machine is suspending the normal course of program in order to normalize these parameters and continue the cycle. Fuzzy logic system makes 7 attempts to eliminate such deviations. If it is impossible to normalize the above mentioned deviations by Fuzzy Logic system, you will see the corresponding indication on LED lamps. (see chapter “Troubleshooting”) The operation of Washing machine that corresponds to above- mentioned scheme is considered to be normal.

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. 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.

Protecting the environment

• This appliance is manufactured from recyclable materials. If you decide to dispose of this appliance, please observe local waste disposal regulations. Cut off the power cord so that the appliance cannot be connected to a power source. Remove the door so that animals and small children cannot get trapped inside the appliance.

• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended in the detergent manu-facturers' 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).
