washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates
a higher spin speed of 1,000 rpms for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has
fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.
• Eco Drum Clean
Using Eco Drum Clean helps to maintain your washing machine with maximum hygiene.
This feature has not using drum cleaning chemical detergents, depending on your Eco/
Performance preference – the cycle has been designed by Samsung to deliver results without
chemical assistance. Keep your drum cleansed and odourless by using this specialised
cleaning program which spins hot water (60 ºC) in the drum, with the thorough cleansing
cycle lasting for just under 93 minutes. This works to remove mould and bacteria present in
the drum which could grow and lead to smells and discolouration if left alone.
Works perfectly in support of Eco Bubble, allowing you to routinely wash your fabrics in cooler
temperatures and occasionally cleanse your wash drum to maintain top hygiene levels.

CHECKING THE PARTS
Carefully unpack your washing machine, and make sure you’ve received all of the parts shown below.
If your washing machine was damaged during shipping, or if you do not have all of the parts, contact
Samsung Customer Service or your Samsung dealer.
01 SETTING UP
Be sure to have your installer follow these instructions closely so that your new
washing machine works properly and so that you’re not at risk of injury when doing
laundry.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply and grounding
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:
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz 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 in electric 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 137 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water
pressure less than 137 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 120 cm 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 305 cm long.
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.
WARNING
Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for leaks.

WD146_WD136-03129E-01_EN.indd Sec9:14
2012-02-03
5:54:51
Drain
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.
01 SETTING UP
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 46cm. 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.
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
Rear – 51 mm
Top – 25 mm
Front – 465 mm
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 0 ˚C)

water supply hose. If the hose is too short,
replace the hose with a longer, high pressure
hose.
2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply
hose to your sink’s cold water tap 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.
For selected models with an additional hot water intake:
1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect it to the 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 tap and tighten

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 Wool 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 Load, 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.

Using Eco drum clean, you can clean the drum without using a cleansing agent.
Never use Eco drum clean when laundry is in the washing machine. This may cause damage
to the laundry or a problem with the washing machine.
Never use drum cleansing agent or laundry detergent. There may be occurs error if
you put drum cleansing agent or laundry detergent.
The Eco drum clean Auto Indicator Function
• If the “Eco drum clean” button is lit after a
wash, it indicates that tub (drum) cleaning
is required. In this case, remove the laundry
from the washing machine, turn the power
on, and clean the drum by running Eco drum
clean.
• If you do not run Eco drum clean, the “Eco
drum clean” indicator turns off. However, the
“Eco drum clean” indicator will light again
after two washes. Not running Eco drum
clean at this point will not cause a problem
with the washing machine.
• Although the Eco drum clean Auto Indicator
appears once a month or so, the frequency
may differ depending on the number of times
the washing machine is used.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Clean the interior of your Washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odour, mould, mildew, or bacterial
residue that may remain in your Washer as a result of washing clothes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent
stains on your Washer or laundry.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labelled “Washer safe”.
03 CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your Washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your Washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray
cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.
CLEANING THE DISPENSERS
The automatic dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive buildup.
1. Press the release lever on the inside of the detergent drawer and
pull the drawer out.
2. Pull out the detergent liquid from detergent compartment.
3. Remove the siphon cap from the fabric softener and bleach
compartments.
4. Wash all of the parts under running water.
5. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
6. Reinsert the siphon cap and push it firmly into place.
7. Push the dispenser back into place.

STORING YOUR WASHER
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage.
Prepare your Washer for storage as follows:
• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your Washer through the
cycle without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
• Unplug your Washer from the electrical outlet and leave your Washer door open to let air circulate inside
the tumbler.
• If your Washer has been stored in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your
Washer to thaw out before use.

seal/bellow
3. If stained areas are found, wipe down these areas of the seal/bellow, using the procedure
that follows.
a) Mix a dilute solution, using ¾ cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach, and 1 gal. (3.8 L) of
warm tap water.
b) Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.
c) Let stand 5 minutes.
d) Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the washer interior air dry with door
open.
03 CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
2. Inspect the gray colored seal/bellow between the door
opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the
seal/bellow to inspect all areas under the seal/bellow and to
check for foreign objects.
IMPORTANT:
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.
• Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
PRESERVING THE TOP COVER AND THE FRONT FRAME
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the washing machine. Keep them on the
purchased pedestal or in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the washing
machine.
Since the entire washing machine has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
Therefore, avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the washing machine.
CLEANING THE WATER HOSE MESH FILTER
You should clean the water hose mesh filter at least once a year, or when the error message of “4E” is
displayed:
1. Turn off the water supply to the washing machine.
2. Unscrew the hose from the back of the washing machine. To prevent water from gushing out
due to the air pressure in the hose, cover the hose with a cloth.
3. Gently pull out the mesh filter from the end of the hose using a pair of pliers and rinse it under
water until clean. Also clean inside and outside the threaded connector.
4. Push the filter back into place.
5. Screw the hose back onto the washing machine.
6. Make sure the connections are watertight and turn on the tap.
REPAIRING A FROZEN WASHING MACHINE
If the temperature drops below freezing and your washing machine is frozen:
1. Unplug the washing machine.
2. Pour warm water over the tap to loosen the water supply hose.
3. Remove the water supply hose and soak it in warm water.
4. Pour warm water into the washing machine drum and let it sit for 10 minutes.
5. Reconnect the water supply hose to the water tap and check if the water supply and drain
are operating normal.
