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.
• Wool Certified
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
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!
• Delicates & 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.

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.

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”.

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.
