features of your new VRT™
STEAM washer
1. VRT™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)
This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.
2. The Largest 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.
3. PowerFoam™
Samsung’s effective PowerForm delivers improved cleanliness with advanced fabric care.
PowerFoam allows detergent to disperse evenly and penetrate fabrics faster and deeper.
4. PureCycle™(Tub Cleaning cycle)
Clean your drum with one button! This 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.
5. Deep steam
The Deep Steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, thus
providing superior cleaning results.
6. 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.
7. Woolmark Certified
The machine wash wool cycle on Samsung machines have been tested and have passed
the required Woolmark Company specification for machine washable wool products.
Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as specified by
Woolmark and Samsung.
8. 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.
9. 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 1,300rpms for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has
fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.
10. Sanitize
When you select the NSF certified Sanitize cycle, the water heats to an extra high
temperature and removes 99.9% of certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or
towels. This certification is awarded by NSF International, an independent third-party testing
and certification organization.
Please check the garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only sanitizing cycles have
been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efficacy.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
WARNING
•
•
•
Do not wash items that have been washed, soaked, or treated with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They give off vapors that
could ignite or explode. Rinse by hand any material that has been exposed to cleaning
solvent or other flammable liquids or solids before putting in your washer. Be sure that
all traces of such liquids, solids, and fumes have been removed. Dangerous substances
include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, certain liquid household
cleaners and spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
Do not put gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances
into the washer.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system–such
as your hot water heater-- that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or
more, turn on all hot water faucets in your home, and let the water flow for several
minutes before using your washer. This will release any hydrogen gas build–up. Since
hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or light an open flame during this time.
Unplug the power cord before servicing your washer.
Do not reach into the appliance when the tumbler is moving.
WARNING
Do not let children play on or in your washer. The washer door isn’t easily opened from the
inside, and a child could be seriously injured if trapped inside.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your washer yourself unless you fully
understand the recommended user–repair instructions and have the skills to carry them
out. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.
Store laundry detergents and other laundry supplies in a cool, dry place out of children’s reach.
Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain
some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the
same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
WARNING
Do not wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in subsequent
loads and cause skin irritation.
Before disposing of your washer, remove the door so that children or small animals cannot
get trapped inside.
Do not sit on top of your washer.
WARNING
Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically
for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks, and replace them every five years.
Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign materials such
as coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your washer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy pieces of metal in the washer.
Do not wash a throw rug or doormat in the washer.
•
If you wash throw rug or doormat, the sand will accumulate inside the washer.
Accumulated sand can prevent the washer from draining.
Make sure the detergent drawer is closed before you put laundry into the washer or remove
laundry from the washer.
• If the detergent drawer is open, you could strike the drawer with your head and injure yourself.

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.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
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.
CAUTION
NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR
HOT WATER PIPES.
Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116psi (137800kPa) 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 fill time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing
your washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent extensive flooding in your
home if an internal hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm 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/305cm for faucets that
are further away from the back of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
•
•
•
WARNING
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 fittings.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

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
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.
01 Installing your washer
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors
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.
Alcove or closet installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 1 in / 25 mm
Top – 17 in / 432 mm
Rear – 4 in / 102 mm
Closet Front – 2 in / 51 mm
If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465

IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.
STEP 1
Removing the Shipping Bolts
01 Installing your washer
Before using your washer, you must remove the four shipping
bolts from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the
spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer.
Repeat for each bolt.
3. Cover the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 7).
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 2
Selecting a Location
Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Has a hard, level surface
Is away from direct sunlight
Has adequate ventilation
Will not freeze (tempuratures never below 32°F or 0°C)
Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
Has enough room for the power cord.
Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
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.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill
hose.
Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet
connections.
On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer
per hose and attach each fill hose to the water valve. Make
sure the hose with Hot printed on it is attached to the HOT
faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a turn
with pliers.
For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water
valves. If either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fill)
error can occur.

water valve and the water supply connections for leaks.
4. Plug the power cord into a 3-Prong, well grounded 120
volt 60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a 15amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker.
Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the
power cord when plugged into a three-prong grounded
receptacle.
5. Slide your washer into position.
6. Level your washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as
necessary by hand or by using the wrench included with
your washer.
When your washer is level, tighten the locking nuts using
the wrench or (-) flathead screwdriver.
Locking Nut
Levelling Leg
Your washer must be leveled on all four sides. A
carpenter’s level should be used on all four corners of
your washer. We recommend you recheck your washer
after a dozen or so washes to make sure it’s sitll level.
Avoid damage to the legs. Do not move
the Washer unless the Locking-nuts are
fastened to the bottom of the Washer.

DETERGENT USE
Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
• For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergents such as
Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE, or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents
contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer
suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently 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.
To use:
• 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.
Pre wash
compartment
Before using powdered detergent, remove the Detegent
Liquid holder from the compartment. Powdered
detergent will not dispense from the Detegent Liquid holder.
Detergent compartment
1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment
before starting your washer.
2. If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.
When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the
same form – granular or liquid.
20_ Washing a load of laundry
WF431ABP-03016A-02_EN.indd Sec11:20
2011-04-04
1:43:37
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 efficiency (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.
(Liquid chlorine bleach only)
1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.
2. Avoid splashing or over–filling 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
fibers or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach,
add it to the appropriate detergent compartment.
DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach
compartment.
03 Washing a load of laundry
Bleach 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 overfill 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.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
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 below:
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 INTERIOR
Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, 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 labeled “Washer safe”.
CLEANING THE DISPENSERS
You may need to clean the automatic dispenser periodically due to laundry
additive buildup.
1. Pull out the detergent liquid holder from the detergent compartment.
2. Remove the siphon cap from the fabric softener and bleach
compartments.
3. Wash all of the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.

** 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 effective
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 effective 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.
