2_ features
features of your new samsung
washing machine
Your new washing machine will change the way you feel about doing laundry. From
its super-size capacity to its energy efficiency, the Samsung washing machine has
all the features to turn a mundane chore into a pleasure.
• Washing to drying with one button
Enjoy convenient non stop washing and drying. 4 different special drying programs
can be selected to perform the whole wash cycle including drying using just one button.
• Cupboard (standard program), Low temp drying, Iron, Time Drying (30min ~ 270mins)
These drying programs also can be operated independently of washing programs.
• Child Lock
The Child Lock function ensures that curious little hands are kept out of your washing
machine.
This safety feature stops your children from playing with the operation of the washing
machine, and alerts you when it is activated.
• Woolmark Certification
The machine 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.
• Delay End
Delay a cycle for up to 19 hours in one-hour increments and increase the convenience of
using your washing machine especially when you have to go out.
• Quick Wash
The Quick Wash program means you can now wash your clothes in just 29 minutes.
• Delicates & Hand Wash Program
The delicates and hand wash programs use a gentle wash action, as well as specific
temperatures and water levels to ensure your clothes are cared for.
• Anti Limescale Heater
Our unique anti limescale heater has a double ceramic coating to prevent limescale, making it
last up to 3 times longer than a standard heater.

• Air Refresh
The Air Refresh system Economically and efficiently expels microbes, mites and odour
causing particles, including acid sweat and nicotine, so your clothes smell fresh and new in
just 30 minutes.
• Suitable for Air Refresh : Woollen coats, cotton/down jumpers, sweaters, suits, pillows,
cushions, soft toys
• Not suitable: leather, silk, velvet, electric blankets, other stained laundry
• Digital Graphic Display
The Digital Graphic Display control panel is clear and easy to use for minimum fuss and
hassle. And because it is easy to use, the Digital Graphic Display enables you to make quick
and accurate adjustments to your wash for excellent washing results.
• Wide door
The extra wide door opening makes loading and unloading your laundry much easier,
especially for larger items like bedding and towels.
• Direct Drive Motor
As the drum does not utilize belts or gears, vibrations are significantly reduced. This increases
durability and makes your washing machine much quieter when in operation.

safety information _5
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 washing machine. 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 washing machine.
• 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 taps in your home, and let the water flow for several minutes
before using your washing machine. This will release any hydrogen gas build–up. Since
hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or light an open flame during this time.
Ventilate immediately without touching the power plug if there is a gas leak.
Unplug the power cord before servicing your washing machine.
Before each wash, empty the pockets of your laundry. Small, irregularly shaped hard
objects, such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips could damage your washing machine.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal metal.
Do not open the door of the washing machine if you can still see water. Check that the
water has drained before opening the door.
Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your washing machine 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.
Connect the washing machine to the water mains using the new set of hoses. Do not reuse
the old set of hoses.
Water inlet hoses deteriorate over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, and leaks, and replace them as needed and at least every five years.
All packaging and shipping bolts must be removed before the appliance is used. Serious
damage may occur if they are not removed. See page 12 “Removing the shipping bolts”.
Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.
See “Washing for the first time”.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply and grounding
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 use an extension cord.
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
• 220V~240V 50Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker
• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine
Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in
a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Water Supply
Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water
pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut
off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fill than what the controls allow,
resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/
flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)
The water taps must be within 4 feet (122cm) of the back of your washing machine for the
provided inlet hoses provided to reach your washing machine.
Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305cm) long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Making water taps easily accessible.
• Turning off taps when the washing machine is not in use.
• Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fittings.
Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for leaks.
