To minimize the risk of fi re in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and
should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable
or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a
tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include
acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers(some brands), turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can,
when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects
of static electricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When
available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed
in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubbercoated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
CAUTION

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply and grounding
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 220-240V / 50Hz 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 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 120cm 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:
• Makingwatertapseasilyaccessible.
• Turningofftapswhenthewashingmachineisnotinuse.
• Periodicallycheckingforleaksatwaterinlethosettings.
Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for leaks.

01 setting up
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65cm. 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 Rear – 50 mm
Top – 25 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

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.

• Whenthelaundryisunbalanced(“UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load.
If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin efficiency may be degraded.
• WhenwashingBeddingorDuvetcover,thewashtimemaybelengthenedorthespin
efficiency may be degraded.
Make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry net (to be
purchased additionally).
• Themetalpartsofthebrassieresmaybreakthroughthematerial
and damage the laundry. Therefore make sure to place them inside
a fine laundry net.
• Small,lightclothingsuchassocks,gloves,stockingsand
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
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.
• Useaneutralliquiddetergentforwoolonly.
• Whenusingapowderdetergent,itmayremainonthelaundryandcausedamagetothe
material (wool).
Powdered detergent should be thoroughly dissolved in a small amount of warm water
before adding to the machine.
