Safety Precautions

Installing the Washing Machine

Unpacking the Washing Machine

Unpack your washing machine and inspect it for shipping damage.

Also make sure that you have received all of the items shown below.

If the washing machine was damaged during shipping or you do not

have all of the items, contact your Samsung dealer immediately.

Overview of the washing machine

Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the

following characteristics:

•A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the

leveling feet," below)

•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.

Adjusting the leveling feet

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 the supplied wrench.

•Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or

vibration occurs. (Only a l degrees angle is allowed.)

Removing the shipping bolts

Before using the washing machine, you must remove the five shipping

bolts from the back of the unit. To remove the bolts:

1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.

2. Take each bolt head and pull it through the wide part of the hole.

Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Keep the shipping bolts for future use.

Connecting the water supply hose(Option)

Installing the Washing Machine

1. Remove the adaptor from the water supply

hose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

•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.

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 and you do not wish to move the

water faucet, 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.

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.

Positioning the drain hose

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

Over the edge of a sink

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.

Installing the Washing Machine

circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape

wire for the electric current.

The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth

wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug.

The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and

earthed.

* The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the

following code:

•Green and yellow : Earth

•Blue : Neutral

•Brown : Live

•AS the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may

not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

•Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug

marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green

or green-and-yellow.

•Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or

coloured black.

•Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter L or

coloured red.

* Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt about

any of these instructions.

The manufacturer of this washing machine will not accept any

liability for damage to persons or material for non observance of

these requirements. There are no user serviceable parts inside the

washing machine and if the mains lead of this appliance is

damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified service personnel

approved by the manufacturer because special tools are required.

Your new washing machine is equipped with Fuzzy Logic system,

which not only sets the optimum level of water and other parameters

of washing, but also controls the washing process as well as makes

necessary corrections in order to provide better washing results.

In the above- mentioned matter, the Fuzzy Logic system has detected

deviations in washing cycle such as: high quantity of detergent at the

end of the cycle, high vibration level while spinning, etc.

After detection of such abnormalities, the washing machine is

suspending the normal course of program in order to normalize these

parameters and continue the cycle.

Fuzzy logic system makes 7 attempts to eliminate such deviations.

If it is impossible to normalize the above mentioned deviations by

Fuzzy Logic system, you will see the corresponding indication on LED

display (see chapter “Elimination of Problems”) The operation of

Washing machine that corresponds to above- mentioned scheme is

considered to be normal.
