1. Large Capacity

Even bulky garments and blankets get super clean. Samsung's large capacity washer

provides the room clothes need for a more thorough, cleaner wash.

2. AquaJet TM (WA456")

AquaJet TM washes loads gently and more thoroughly than conventional top loaders.Faster

drum rotation and the absence of an agitator inside the machine help circulate foam more

evenly throughout all your clothes, while powerful water jets provide a thorough rinse.

3. Digital Inverter Motor

The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the

washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. The beltless direct-drive motor generates

a higher spin speed for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving

parts, meaning fewer repairs.

4. Mist Shower

A separate nozzle sprays water equally throughout the tub so that the rinse cycle is effective

even with a small amount of water.

5. VRT ® (Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.

6. Eco Plus 0NA456")

If you select this option, the water temperature is set to slightly lower than during the normal

wash course to save energy.

7. Pure Cycle TM (Tub Cleaning Cycle)

Clean your drum with one button! Pure Cycle is specially designed to remove detergent

residue and dirt buildup in the tub, without the need for special chemical detergents.

8. My Cycle

This is a convenient function that enables you to save a frequently-used wash course. Once

this is set, you can do a wash simply by pressing the Power, My Cycle, and Start buttons in

sequence.

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 outlet.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Z_ 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.

A 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 to 116psi (137 to

800kPa) is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or 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 to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your

home if a hose becomes loose.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm 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 / 275 cm for faucets that

are further away from the back of your Washer.

z£

WARNING

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

,, 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.

12 instaling your washer

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in / 99 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 to the washer at the factory.

Flooring

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.

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. Frozen water can damage the belts, the

pump, hoses, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

STEP 2

Connecting the water and the drain

Connecting the water supply hose

_The water supply hoses are not supplied with your washer

....... and must be purchased separately. Before installing the water

supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the

fittings at both ends of each new water hose. Installing the

water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water

leakage.

_When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses.

....... Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and

may damage your property.

ADo not connect multiple water supply hoses together to

....... increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this

way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a

hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets.

2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an

additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.

Z_ When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply

....... tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can

damage the fittings.

After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets,

ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses

downwards

3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open

the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15

seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the

faucets before continuing.

Cold

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply

intake connections at the back of the washer.

Z_ The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet must be

....... connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose

connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the COLD

water supply intake.

5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them

an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.

To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the HOT and

COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an

"nF" (no fill) error can occur.

If you do not want to use the HOT water supply hose, insert

the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole. In

this case, you must select the Tap Cold option for the water

temperature.If you select the Tap Cold option, all the lamps for

the water temperature options are turned off.

//_ Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If

Make sure that the connection between the T_e ...... _( )

strap

drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

Connection the hose guide within 4 in (10cm)

from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended

more than 4 in (10cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold ,_

or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer. ,'_

Drain Hose can be installed until 96 in (245cm) maximum. But Nomorethan

drain capability can be reduced at this height. It causes the 4 in (10cm) _ LJ I

washer to have odor, because of remained water in the drain

system. Hose Guide

** The dot symbols represent appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature range for

Hot is 105° - 125 °F / 41 o _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 depends 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. In this situation, you will need to adjust the water temperature by selecting a warm setting, adding

some hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using your Washer's heating option, if available.
