Smart PowerFoam™ washer

1. VRT PLUS™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer minimizies noise and vibration with dual 3D vibration sensors and

smart control technology, ensuring quiet operation.

2. The Largest Capacity

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

special chemical detergents.

5. SpeedSpray™

Samsung’s new Speed Spray technology saves you up to 25%* more time when doing

laundry by shortening wash times while still keeping all segments of the washing process

and getting your clothes clean.

*Based on 8 pounds loads, Normal cycle (under Normal Soil level without any options),

on previous and existing 4.3 cu.ft. Samsung front loading washers released until 2011

without Speed Spray.

**Speed Spray performs in Normal, Bedding PLUS, Deep Steam, Stain Away and

Eco Cold cycle and the saving time may vary by cycles and various load and option

compositions.

6. Deep steam

The Deep Steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, thus

providing superior cleaning results.

7. Smart Care

Samsung’s Smart Care, an automatic error-monitoring system, detects and diagnoses

problems at an early stage and provides a quick and easy solution. With the innovative

Smart Control technology, you can also be alerted when the problem occurs via your smart

phones.

10. DD Motor

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

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

a higher spin speed of 1,300rpm for more effective, quiter operation. The washer also has

fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

11. 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 certification is

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

organization.

Please check the garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only sanitizing cycles have

been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efficacy.

12. Pedestal with Storage Drawers (Model No :

WE357*

)

An optional 15” pedestal is available to raise the washer for easier loading and unloading.

It also offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100 oz. bottle of detergent

13. Stacking (Model No : SK-5A/XAA)

Samsung washers and dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space. An optional

stacking kit is available for purchase from your Samsung retailer.

basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or

spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ﬂammable or explosive substances as

they give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions

that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances to

the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

has not been used for such a period, before using a washer or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ﬂow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ﬂammable, do not smoke or use an

open ﬂame during this time.
