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.

• Baby Care System

Your Samsung washing machine includes wash programs that adds protection to the clothing

of children with sensitive skin.

These programs reduce skin irritation in children by minimizing detergent residue. In addition,

these programs classify laundry into various types and the wash is performed according to

the laundry characteristics so that children feel refreshingly clean whenever they put on their

clothes.

• 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.

• 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

No time to lose! Less than 30 minutes wash will give you time to run out before it’s too late.

Our 29 minute Quick Wash program can be the solution to your busy life. Now you can wash

your favourite clothes in only 29 minutes!

• Hand Wash Program

Special care can be determined by the appropriate temperature, the gentle wash action and

the appropriate amount of water.

• Ceramic Heater for Durability & Energy Saving (selected models)

Our truly innovative Ceramic Heater is twice as durable as regular heaters.

That saves you money on repairs. Plus, it eliminates the scale of hard water and save energy.

4_ safety information

safety information

Throughout this manual, you’ll see Warning and Caution notes. These

warnings, cautions, and the important safety instructions that follow do not cover

all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It’s your responsibility to use

common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating your

washing machine. Samsung is not liable for damages resulting from improper use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY SYMBOLS AND PRECAUTIONS

What the icons and signs in this user manual mean:

WARNING

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury

or death.

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or

property damage.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, explosion, electric shock, or personal

injury when using your washing machine, follow these basic safety

precautions:

Do NOT attempt.

Do NOT disassemble.

Do NOT touch.

Follow directions explicitly.

Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.

Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.

Call the service center for help.

Notice

These warning signs are here to prevent injury to you and others.

Please follow them explicitly.

After reading this section, keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

As with any equipment using electricity and moving parts, potential hazards exist. To safely

operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and exercise care when using it.

Install and store your washing machine inside, away from exposure to weather.

Install and level your washing machine on a ﬂoor that can support its weight.

Your washing machine must be properly grounded. Never plug it into an ungrounded outlet.

WF8694NH-02583N_EN.indd 4 2009-2-19 15:48:24

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”.

CAUTION

6_ safety information

The appliance is designed for home use only.

Make sure that water and electrical connections are made by qualiﬁed technicians,

observing the user manual (see “Installing the washing machine”) and local safety

regulations.

Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.

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

Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty.

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 our authorized service center, and only rated

spare parts should be used.

Do not let children (or pets) play on or in your washing machine. The washing machine door

does not open easily from the inside, and children may be seriously injured if trapped inside.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety.

tabs and the drain pipes.

Packing materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packing material (plastic bags,

polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.

Do not use processed water containing oil, cream or lotion, which is usually found in

skincare shops or massage clinics.

• Otherwise this will cause the packing to be deformed, which causes a malfunction or

water leak.

safety information _7

A stainless washing tub does not usually rust. However if some metal such as a hair pin is

left in the tub for an extended time, the tub could rust.

• Do not leave water or bleach containing chlorine in the tub for an extended period of

time.

• Do not regularly use or leave water containing iron in the tub for an extended period of

time. If rust starts appearing on the surface of the tub, apply a cleansing agent (neutral)

to the surface and use a sponge or soft cloth to clean it. (Under no circumstances use a

metal brush)

For washing machines with ventilation openings in the base, ensure that the opening is not

obstructed by carpet or any other obstacles.

Use the new hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be reused.

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.
