features of your new VRT™

washer

1. VRT™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)

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

vibration.

2. Super capacity

Samsung’s extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a king-

size comforter, or up to 26 bath towels in a single load. Since you don’t have to do as many

loads, you save time, money, water and energy.

3. Diamond drum™

Take gentle care of your fabrics. With inside holes 36% smaller than those of conventional

drums, the diamond drum prevents fabrics from sticking out and consequently being

damaged.

4. Stylish design

The stylish design of this washer blends well with your environment.

5. Digital display & Center jog dial

The jog dial enables you to select cycles in both directions with ease, and the display is easy

to use and understand.

6. DD(Direct-drive) Motor

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

washer drum from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates

a higher spin speed of 1,200 rpm for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has

fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

7. 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 certiﬁ cation is

conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certiﬁ cation

organization.

Please check garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only Sanitize cycles have been

designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efﬁ cacy.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply

• 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.

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 qualiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent unnecessary risk of ﬁ re, 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 ﬁ ll your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116psi(137-

800kPa) is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi(137kPa) may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the

water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the ﬁ ll 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 ﬂ ooding your home.

The water faucets must be within 4 ft.(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 ft.(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 ﬁ ttings.

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.

setting up your washer _13

01 SETTING UP

Flooring

For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly constructed ﬂ oor. Wood ﬂ oor

may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting

and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move

slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location consideration

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 the

pump, hoses and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Sides – 1 In.(2.5 cm)

Rear – 4 In.(10.2 cm)

Top – 17 In.(43.2 cm)

Closet Front – 2 In.(5.1 cm)

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465

cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a speciﬁ c air opening.

washer. Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied bolt hole 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 18in.(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 18in.(46 cm), the drain hose must

be supported.

2. Before Connect the inlet hoses to water faucets, Check to

ensure a washer is inside coupling.

3. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each ﬁ ll

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 ﬁ ll 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 either or both are not connected, an “nF”

(no ﬁ ll) error can occur.

4. Turn on the “HOT” and “COLD “water supply and check

all connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.

5. 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.

6. Slide your washer into position.

7. Level your washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as

necessary by hand or by using the wrench included with

your washer.

When your washer is level, tighten the locking nuts using

the wrench or (-) ﬂ athead screwdriver.

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 the best to recheck after the ﬁ rst dozen

washes.

Avoid damage to the legs. Do not move

the washer unless the locking-nuts are

fastened to the bottom of the washer.

02 WASHING A LOAD OF LAUNDRY

washing a load of laundry

LOADING YOUR WASHER

• You can ﬁ ll the tub with dry, unfolded clothes; but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub.

• Overloading may reduce washing efﬁ ciency, 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 ﬁ ll 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 imbalance

inside the tub.

•

When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer in order to assure good cleaning results.

• To add a forgotten item:

1. Press the Power button.

2. Press the Start/Pause button.

3. Wait for the door lock light to go out (Immediately).

4. Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause button.

The door safety state continues for 15 seconds and the cycle is restarted.

To ensure thorough cleaning, add items within ﬁ ve minutes of starting the wash cycle.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your washer.

2. Close the door.

Push the laundry into the tub completely to prevent the laundry from being caught in the door or from

falling out of the tub.

3. Press the Power button.

4. Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (See page 23~24).

5. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (See page 18~19).

6. Press the Start/Pause button.

7. The Wash Indicator will illuminate.

8. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

The time may ﬂ uctuate 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.

9. Before your washer starts to ﬁ ll, 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 (See page 17).

• When your washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle

continues.

• Pressing Power button cancels the cycle and stops your washer.

•

The Wash, Rinse and Spin indicators will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.

Do not place anything on top of your washer while it is running.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTROL PANEL

Cycle Selector

Select the appropriate cycle for the type of load.

This will determine the tumble pattern and spin speed for the cycle.

To minimize wrinkling of your laundry, select the Perm Press cycle.

Normal - For most fabrics including cottons, linens, and normally soiled garments.

Heavy Duty - For sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments.

Whites - For white fabrics with or without bleach.

Perm Press - For wash-and-wear, synthetic fabrics, and lightly to normally

soiled garments.

Sanitize - For heavily soiled, colorfast garments. This cycle heats the water to

150°F(65.6°C) to eliminate bacteria.

If Pause is selected during the heating portion of the Sanitize cycle, your

washer door will remain locked for your safety.

maintain the characteristics of the wool ﬁ bers and to prevent damaging

the cloth. It then stops for a while to allow the laundry to soak in the

water. This stop operation is not a problem.

• It is recommended using a neutral detergent to prevent damage to the

cloth and to improve the washing results.

The Wool cycle of this machine has been approved

by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable

Woolmark products provided that the products are

washed according to the instructions on the garment

label and those issued by the manufacturer of this

washer, M0904.

Quick Wash - For lightly soiled garments needed quickly.

Rinse + Spin - Use for loads that need rinsing only or to add rinse-added

fabric softener to a load.
