2_ Features of your new silvercare™ washer
features of your new
silvercare™ washer
1. SilverCare™
Washing in cold water is energy efficient and better for your clothes.
2. Extra Large Capacity
Even bulky garments and blankets get super clean. The large capacity leaves enough room
for a more thorough, cleaner wash.
3. High Efficiency Energy & Water Saving
The SilverCare™ system uses 92% less energy than traditional heat sanitization.
4. Direct Drive 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. 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.
5. Woolmark Certified
The machine wash wool cycle on the Samsung SilverCare™ machines has been tested and
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.
6. Sanitize
When selecting this cycle, the water heats to an extra high temperature to remove 99.9% of
certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or towels. This certification is conducted
by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification organization.
Please check garment care label to avoid
garment damage. Only sanitizing cycles have
been designed to meet the requirements of this
protocol for sanitization efficacy.
7.

Washer’s many benefits and features.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing,
maintaining, and operating your Washer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY SYMBOLS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or
death.
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or
property damage.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when
using your washer, follow these basic safety precautions:
Do NOT attempt.
Do NOT disassemble.
Do NOT touch.
Follow directions explicity.
Unplug the pwer plug from the wall socket.
Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.
Call the service center for help.
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
As with any equipment using electricity and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and exercise care when
using it.

WF337A-02440C-05_EN.indd 3 2009-11-02 ¿ÀÈÄ 6:08:31
4_ Safety information
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
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.
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.
Do not machine 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.
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 material, etc. ie.
coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your washer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal.
Do not wash throw rug or doormat.
If you wash throw rug or doormat, the sand will accumulate inside the washer. It may
result in error such as not draining.

Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to 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.
NEVER CONNECT 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 – 120 psi is
required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve
to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,
resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal
hose becoming loose and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for 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:
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.

8_ Installing your washer
Flooring
For best performance, your Washer must be installed 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 in vibration and/or tendency for 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
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,
the pump, hoses and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 1 in / 25 mm
Rear – 4 in / 102 mm
Top – 17 in / 432 mm
Closet Front – 2 in / 51 mm
If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in² or 465
cm² of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

Installing your washer _9
IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your Washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.
STEP 1
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 be freezing (below 32°F or 0°C)
Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
Has enough space so that your Washer need not stand on its power cord
Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
STEP 2
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your Washer, you must remove the four
shipping bolts from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied spanner.
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. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 3
Installing your Washer
1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be
sure an airtight connection is NOT made
between the drain hose and the standpipe.
The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46
cm high.
Caution must always be exercised 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 lengths.
For situations where the drain hose
cannot be conveniently elevated to at
least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must
be supported.

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 install each fill hose to the water valve. Make
sure the hose with the Hot printed line 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 one is not connected, an “nF” (no fill) error can
occur.
3. Turn on the “HOT” and “COLD “water supply and check all
connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.
4. Plug the power cord into a 3-Prong, well grounded 120 volt
60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-amp 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 wrench included with your washer.
When your washer is level, tighten the nuts using the wrench
or (-) driver.
Your Washer must be leveled on all four sides. A carpenter’s
level should be used on all four corners of your Washer. It’s
a good idea after the first dozen washes to recheck your
washer’s levelness.
Avoid the damage of legs, Do not
move the Washer unless the Locking-
nuts are fastened to the bottom of the
Washer.

LOADING YOUR WASHER
You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes; but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub.
Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or
wrinkling of the load.
Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle with similar
lightweight items.
When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the tub completely – a rug, a pillow,
stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin
performance.
During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the excessive unbalance
inside the drum.
When washing heavily soiled loads, not overloading your Washer is very important to assure good
cleaning results.
To add a forgotten item:
1. Press the Start/Pause Button.
2. Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds)
3. Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button.
After a pause of 10 seconds, the cycle will resume.
To ensure thorough cleaning, add items within five minutes of starting the wash cycle.
Try washing bedding, towels, undergarments, and other articles that usually have close body
contact using the SilverCare™ Option, which sanitizes using cold water.
GETTING STARTED
1. Load your Washer.
2. Close the door.
3. Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 16~17).
4. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 12~15).
5. Press the Start/Pause Button.
6. The Wash Indicator light will illuminate.
7. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.
The time may fluctuate to better indicate the time remaining in the cycle.
The actual time required for a cycle may differ from the estimated time in the display depending on the
water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.
8. Before your washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a
quick drain.
When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” will appear in the display.
DO NOT attempt to open the door until the Door Lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see
“Loading your Washer” section. (page 11)
When your Washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle
continues.
Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your washer.
The Pre Wash, Wash, Rinse and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the
cycle.

16_ Washing a load of laundry
DETERGENT USE
Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
For 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.
Regular detergent is Not recommended. Please use only HE
detergent.
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce 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. All laundry additives are added to their respective
compartments before starting your Washer.
The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before
starting your Washer.
DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is
running.
To use:
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left side of the control
panel.
2. Add recommended quantity of additive to the appropriate
compartments with laundry additives, being careful not to
overfill or spill.
3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and completely back
into the compartment.
Detergent compartment
1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment
before starting your washer.
If an excessive amount of detergent is used it may be mixed with the softener.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with 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.
If using liquid detergent, lower the detergent selector and add the detergent to the
detergent compartment.

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.
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. Fabric softener should be diluted 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 the Downy Ball* in Fabric softner Compartment with this Washer. It will not
add fabric softener at the appropriate time.
Use the detergent Compartment.

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:
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 unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleasant odor 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
The automatic dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to
laundry additive buildup.
1. Pull out the detergent liquid from 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.
5. Reinsert the siphon cap and push it firmly into place.
6. Push the dispenser back into place.
7. Run a Rinse+Spin cycle without any load in your washer.
CLEANING THE DOOR SEAL/BELLOW
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.
2. Inspect the gray colored seal/bellow between the door
opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the
seal/bellow to inspect all areas under the seal/bellow and to
check for foreign objects.
3. If stained areas are found, wipe down these areas of the seal/bellow, using the procedure that follows.
a) Mix a dilute solution, using ¾ cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach, and 1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm tap water.
b) Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.
c) Let stand 5 minutes.
d)
Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the washer interior air dry with door open.
IMPORTANT:
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.
Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
STORING YOUR WASHER
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage.
Prepare your Washer for storage as follows:
Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your Washer through the cycle without a load.
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
Unplug your Washer from the electrical outlet and leave your Washer door open to let air circulate inside the tumbler.
If your Washer has been stored in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your
Washer to thaw out before use.
