Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, 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.

WARninG

Never use an extension cord.

Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

• 220V~240V 50Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine

Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water supply

Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fill than what the controls allow, resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/ flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water taps must be within 4 feet (122cm) of the back of your washing machine for the provided inlet hoses provided to reach your washing machine.

Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305cm) long.

WARninG

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

• Making water taps easily accessible.

• Turning off taps when the washing machine is not in use.

• Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fittings.

Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for leaks.

14_ setting up your new washing machine

WD8704RJ-02718A-07_EN.indd 14 2014/6/11 17:13:59

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 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, your washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed floor.

Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.

surrounding temperature

Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:

Sides – 25 mm

Top – 25 mm

Rear – 51 mm

Front – 465 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at least 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specific air opening.

instALLinG youR WAsHinG MACHinE sTEP 1 selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation

• Is away from direct sunlight

• Has adequate ventilation

• Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 0 ˚C)

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

• Has enough space so that the washing machine doesn’t stand on its power cord

LAunDRy GuiDELinEs

Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efficient wash.

Always check the Care label on clothing before washing.

sort and wash your laundry according to the following criteria:

• Care Label: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools and rayons.

• Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new colour items separately.

• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the wash action.

• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash cycle for pure, new woollen items, 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

Before each wash, empty all the pockets of your laundry. Small, irregularly shaped hard objects, such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips could damage your washing machine. Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal objects. Metal on clothing may damage your clothing as well as the tub. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. If zips of pants and jackets are open while washing, the spin basket may be damaged. Zips should be closed and fixed with a string before washing. Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to fix the strings before starting the wash.

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, prewash with a protein-based detergent.

Determining the 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.

• When the laundry is unbalanced (“UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load.

If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin efficiency may be degraded.

• When washing Bedding or Duvets, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be degraded.

make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry net (to be purchased additionally).

• The metal parts of the brassieres may break through the material and damage the laundry. Therefore make sure to place them inside a fine laundry net.

• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.

Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal

CAution vibrations that could move the washing machine and cause an accident resulting in injury.

DEtERGEnt AnD ADDitiVEs infoRMAtion

Which detergent to use

The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on 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, enquire at your local water authority.

Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidified as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overflow becoming blocked.

Please note the following when using the Wool course.

• Use a neutral liquid detergent for wool only.

• When using a powder detergent, it may remain on the laundry and cause damage to the material (wool).

Detergent drawer

Your washing machine has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and fabric softener.

Add all laundry additives to the correct compartment before starting your washing machine.

Do NOT open the detergent drawer when your washing machine is running.

1. Pull out the detergent drawer on the left side of the control panel.

2. Add the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting your washing machine.

3. Add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the softener compartment if required.

CAution

Do NOT add any powder/liquid detergent to the softener compartment ( ).

WD8704RJ-02718A-07_EN.indd 29

4. When using the Prewash option, add the recommended amount of laundry detergent into the prewash compartment .

When washing large items do NOT use the following detergetnt types.

• Tablet and capsule type detergents

• Detergents using a ball and net

Concentrated or thick fabric softener and conditioner must be diluted with a little water before being poured into the dispenser (prevents the overflow from becoming blocked.)

MAX

Be careful that the fabric softener does not overflow, when you close the detergent drawer after adding fabric softener into the rinse detergent compartment.

When your washing machine malfunctions, you may see an information code on the display. If that happens, check this table and try the suggested solution before calling Customer Service.

Uc sOlUTION

• Make sure the door is firmly closed.

• Make sure that laundry is not caught in the door.

• Make sure the source water tap is turned on.

• Check the water pressure.

• Clean the debris filter.

• Make sure the drainage hose is installed correctly.

• The laundry load is unbalanced. Redistribute the load. If only one item of clothing needs washing, such as a bathrobe or pair of jeans, the final spin result might be unsatisfactory and an “UE” error message will be shown in the display window.

• Call the after-sales service.

• It appears when the internal temperature of the drum is high.

The fan will automatically function, so just wait until “Hot” indication disappeared.

• This occurs when too much foaming is detected. It is also displayed while foaming is removed. When the removal is finished, the normal cycle proceeds.(This is one of the normal operations. It is an error for preventing non-sensing faults.)

• If the voltage of the supplied power is instable, the washing machine will be paused to protect its electric devices.

• If the correct voltage is supplied, the cycle will resume automatically.

For any codes not listed above, or if the suggested solution doesn’t fix the problem, call your Samsung

Service Centre or local Samsung dealer.

1. A cycle with a prewash takes approx. 15 minutes longer.

2. The cycle duration data has been measured under the conditions specified in Standard IEC 60456 / EN

60456.

3. EU energy label washing performance tests according to EN 50229 should be carried out using a 7 kg load and the following program: Cotton 60˚C + intensive. 

4. For EU energy label drying performance tests according to EN 50229, the 7 kg washing base load should be divided into two equal parts of approximately 3.5kg and each part should be dried separately using the Cupboard Dry program.

5. Course time in individual homes may differ from the values given in the table due to variations in the pressure and temperature of the water supply, the load and the type of laundry.

6. When the Intensive Wash function is selected, the cycle time is increased for each cycle.
