• Away from direct sunlight.

• Adequate ventilation

• Room temperature that will not fall below 0

˚C

• Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas

Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose

The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the

water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short

replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

To connect the water supply hose:

1. Take the L-shaped arm ﬁtting for the cold water supply hose and connect to the cold

water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink's cold water faucet

and tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the

washing machine end by loosening the ﬁtting,rotating the hose, and retightening the

ﬁtting.

NOTICE The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-

sets should not be used.

Option: 1. Take the red L-shaped arm ﬁtting for the hot water supply hose and

connect to the red hot water supply intake on the back of the machine.

Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink's hot

water faucet and tighten it by hand.

3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions 5

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose (Option)

1. Remove the adaptor from the

water supply hose.

4. Connect the water supply hose to

the adaptor. Pull down part (c) of the

water supply hose.

When you release part (c) the hose

automatically connects to the adaptor

making a 'click’ sound.

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 until there

is a 5mm gap.

5. Connect the other end of the water

supply hose to the inlet water valve at

the rear of the washer.

Screw the hose clockwise all the way

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.

NOTICE After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, then repeat the same steps. Use

the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too

big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.

Positioning the drain hose

The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:

Over the edge of a wash basin

The drain hose must be placed at a height of

between 60 and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose

spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide.

Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to

the faucet with a piece of string to prevent the

drain hose from moving.

ln a sink drain pipe branch

The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least

60 cm above the ground.

ln a drain pipe

Samsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm

and no longer than 90 cm.

Washing a Load of Laundry

Washing tips and hints

Sorting your laundry: Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:

• Type of fabric care label symbol: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed ﬁbers, synthetics,

silks, wools and rayon.

• Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.

• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.

• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure

new wool, 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: Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing

machine drum, and the water tank.

Securing fasteners: Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons

should be tied together.

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, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.

Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may

not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of

laundry you are washing.

Fabric Type Load Capacity

Cotton / Coloured 7.5 kg

Synthetics / Towel 4.0 kg

Quick 3.0 kg

Delicates 2.5 kg

Wools / Handwash 2.0 kg

Curtain / Bedding 5.0 kg

Duvet 1 king size (9 Tog)

• When the laundry is unbalanced (“UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load.

Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton,

synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.

Always use "low suds" laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon 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, ask your water authority.

Note: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
