SETTING UP YOUR WASHER
DESCRIPTION OF PART
The User’s Manual is for common use. Make use of the User’s Manual depending upon your washing machine model.
HOW TO WASH AUTOMATICALLY DEPENDS ON THE LAUNDRY
Before starting washing, check the following;
- Connect the water supply hose to the water tap. Leave a tap open. Plug the power cord in. Make sure to lay down the drain hose.
Washing for the first time
Before washing clothes for the fi rst time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.
To do this:
- Press the Power button.
- Open the detergent drawer and insert a little detergent.
- Turn on the water supply to the washing machine.
- Press the Start/Pause button.
This will remove any water from the manufacturer’s test run remaining in the machine.
Special notes!
Automatic Sensing Function
- According to the selected program, the amount of laundry is automatically sensed and then the appropriate water level, wash time, rinse cycle, and spinning time are automatically selected for the automatic wash.
- After the power is on, a program is selected and Start/Pause button is pressed. Then, the washing board starts spinning without water. This action senses how much laundry is in the washing basket, not a machine problem. After this sensing process, water supplies automatically.
Adding Detergent and Softener
- It senses the amount of laundry and indicates the water level. Then, it starts water supply right away.
- During the water supply, it is possible to open the detergent box and add detergent. However, it is better to press Start/Pause button to stop water supply and add detergent. Close the lid and press Start/Pause button again. This way is much more convenient.
- If the softener is inserted in the softener dispenser, it automatically adds in at the last rinsing cycle.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
1. Remove the adaptor from the water supply hose.
2. First, using a “+” type screw driver, loosen the four screws on the adaptor. Next, take the adaptor and turn part (b) following the arrow for gap about 5 mm between them.
3. Connect adaptor to the water tap by tightening the screws firmly. Then, turn part (b) following the arrow and put (a) and (b) together.
4. Connect the water supply hose to the adaptor. Pull down the part (c) of the water supply hose. When the part (c) is released, the hose is automatically connected to the adaptor making a ‘click’ sound.
5. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet water valve at the back of the washer. Screw the hose clockwise all the way in.
5-1. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet water valve at the back side of the washer. Screw the hose clockwise all the way in.
- If the water tap is a screw type, assemble a water supply hose that fits to the tap as shown. After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, then repeat the same steps.
CALIBRATION MODE (OPTION)
Your Samsung washing machine detects the laundry weight automatically.
For more accurate weight detection, please run Calibration Mode after the installation.
To run Calibration Mode, follow these steps:
- Remove laundry or any contents in the machine.
- Press the Delay End and Spin buttons simultaneously, and then press the Power button. The Machine turns on with “Cb”
- Press the Start/Pause button to activate “Calibration Mode”.
- The drum rotates for approximately 4 minutes
- When “Calibration Mode” is finished, “End” appears on the display, and the machine automatically turns off. The washing machine is now ready for use.
ADDING DETERGENT
1. Open the detergent drawer and then add the powder detergent into the detergent compartment. 2. Add detergent evenly so that it doesn’t brim over the edge of the drawer. • Use a reasonable amount of detergent. If you use more detergent than the standard quantity or the water temperature is too low and the detergent does not dissolve in the water completely causing it to remain on the laundry and in the hose and tub, it may cause damage such as dirtying and discoloring the laundry. • If you use a powder detergent and it remains on the laundry, it may cause a bad odor. Rinse the laundry sufficiently in freshwater |

ADDING FABRIC SOFTENER
1. When the proper amount (one time dose) of fabric softener is stored in the softener inlet, it is automatically added during the last rinse cycle.
2. Do not add detergent, bleach or starch into the softener inlet.
3. Using too much softener may produce unsatisfactory results.
4. Do not open the lid during the Spin cycle. If added too early, its effectiveness will decrease.
5. Do not leave the softener in the softener dispenser for a long time as it may congeal.
