• The appearance of the washer and provided accessories may differ with the model.
• To purchase an accessory or lost part, contact a local Samsung service center or the retailer

CAUTION

• Do not reuse old water hoses, which may leak or burst, causing flooding and/or property damage.
• Make sure rubber washers are inserted in each coupling of both water hoses.

Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding

• AC 120 V / 60 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit. Connect only the washer to the circuit.

To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure about the grounding.

Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

WARNING

• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the washer.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical service for your washer.

Water supply: Proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Water taps must be within 4 ft. (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washer. To reduce the risk of leaks:

• Make sure water taps are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis

CAUTION: Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.

Drain: Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in. (460 mm) high. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.

Flooring:

• For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
• CAUTION: Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.

Water temperature: Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer.

Dimensions

Clearance requirement: This clearance requirement is applicable for washers only. NOTE

• For dryer’s clearance requirement, see the dryer’s user manual.

Laundry guidelines

STEP 1 Sort - Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Color: Separate whites from colors.
• Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. For pure, new woolen items, curtains, and silk items, check the labels on the items.

NOTE: Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash.

STEP 2 Empty pockets

• Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
  • Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum or tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
  • If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum or tub may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
  • Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.

STEP 3 Use a laundry net

• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and 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 washer and result in injury.

STEP 4 Determine the load capacity

• Do not overload the washer. Overloading may cause the washer to wash improperly.
• NOTE: When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin level is Level 2 or Level 3, and the load capacity is 3.0 kg or less.
• CAUTION: If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce spinning performance.

STEP 5 Add the correct detergent type

The type of detergent you use - general purpose, specifically for woolens, etc. - depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Regardless of the specific type of detergent you use, always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent which is designed for automatic washers.

NOTE

• 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 local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact your local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

CAUTION: When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. Powdered detergent used with the WOOL cycle can remain on the laundry and discolor it.

Use HE detergent only

Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

• For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent 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. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)

WARNING: For best results, use HE detergents only. Do not use non-HE detergent, organic detergent, natural detergent or HE detergents with natural ingredients (such as vinegar, baking soda).

Detergent drawer guidelines

The washer provides a three-compartment dispenser: the front-left compartment for the main wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear-right for the liquid chlorine bleach.

A. Main-wash compartment: Add mainwash detergent, water softener, soaking detergent, color–safe, and/or stain removers.

B. Softener compartment: Add fabric softener. Do not exceed the max line.

C. Bleach compartment: Add liquid chlorine bleach. Do not exceed the max line.

CAUTION

• Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating.
• Do not use the following types of detergent:
  • Tablet or capsule types
  • Ball or net types
• To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents (fabric softener or detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.

To add washing agents to the detergent drawer

1. Slide open the detergent drawer.

2. Add liquid laundry detergent to the liquid detergent container in the main wash compartment.

CAUTION

• Make sure the liquid detergent container is inserted in the main wash compartment.
• Do not exceed the marked max line (A).

NOTE

• Do not add powdered laundry detergent or other powdered laundry agents to the liquid laundry container.
• To use powdered detergent

3. Add fabric softener to the softener compartment. Do not exceed the max line (B).

CAUTION

• Powdered fabric softener is not recommended. Use liquid fabric softener only.
• Concentrated fabric softener must be diluted with water before being added.
• Do not add main-wash detergent to the softener compartment.

4. Close the detergent drawer.

To use powdered detergent

• First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the mainwash compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the main-wash compartment according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
• CAUTION: Do not add powdered detergent to the liquid detergent container.

To use the bleach compartment

• Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not exceed the max line.
• CAUTION: Do not add undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly to the load or to the drum. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss if not used properly.

To use oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach

• Oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach can increase washing performance. Make sure to add the oxygen booster or color-safe bleach after putting the laundry into the drum.
• NOTE: To use both powdered detergent and powdered oxygen booster or powdered color-safe bleach, it is more effective to put them together into the drum before loading the laundry.
