• Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty. Hard, sharp objects, such as

coins, safety pins, nails, screws, or stones can cause extensive damage to the appliance.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use.

• Before you open the door of the appliance, check that the water has drained. Do not open the door

if you can still see water.

• The glass door becomes very hot during the washing cycle. Keep children away from the

appliance while it is in use.

• Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs made by inexperienced or unqualiﬁed

persons may cause injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance necessary.

• If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service

agent or a similarly qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

• This appliance should only be serviced by an authorized service center, and only genuine spare

shops or massage clinics.

- Otherwise this will cause the packing to be deformed, which causes a malfunction or water leak.

• A stainless washing tube does not usually rust. However if some metal such as a hair pin is left in

the tube for an extended time, the tube could rust.

Do not leave water or bleach containing chlorine in the tube for an extended period of time.

Do not regularly use or leave water containing iron in the tube for an extended period of time.

If rust starts appearing on the surface of the tube, apply a cleansing agent (neutral) to the surface

• 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.

Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is

installed on a carpeted ﬂoor.

If the ﬂoor is uneven, adjust the feet

(do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects

under the feet):

1. Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your

hand until it is at the desired height.

2. Tighten the locking nut by turning it with a (-)

screwdriver.

4 SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions

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

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.

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.

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose

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 top of the washer.

Screw the hose clockwise all the

way in.

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.

• If the water tap has a screw type

faucet, connect the water supply

hose to the tap as shown.

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.

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

hose-sets should not be used.

Drain hose connection procedures

1. Holding down the handle of the drain hose

connector, put in the drain hose in desired

direction.

: Fix the hose into the drainage hole, and give

the hose connector a push to the body to ﬁx

the hose.

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.

Using Clean Tub

Is a course for washing the tub.

1. Press Power button.

2. Select the Clean Tub Course by turning the dial of Course Select.

3. Put an adequate amount of bleaching agent in the detergent tray (II) for Main

without bleaching agent.

4. Press Start/Pause button.

Remark: About one time a month is enough for the tub-washing.

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

Coloured/cotton 10.0 kg

Cotton 95˚C/ Cotton 75˚C 7.0 kg

Towel / Quick / Bedding 5.0 kg

Wools /Delicates 4.0 kg

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.

Electrical warnings

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions

in mind:

• Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your

appliance dealer or local power company.

• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped

with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other.

This plug will ﬁt into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the

plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't ﬁt, contact

your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely

to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular

attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the unit.

• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in ﬁre or

electric shock.
