Basic location requirements
Electrical

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
• Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
•  Your washer is equipped with a power cord.

CAUTION
Never use an extension cord. Grounding
Electrical grounding is required for this appliance.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING An improperly connected equipment grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Important safety precautions
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.
CAUTION Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home ifa hose becomes loose. The water faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm) to the back of your washer to  match the inlet hoses provided with your washer.
NOTE
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet (275 cm) for faucets that are further away from the back of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible.
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
•  Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

WARNING
Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks.
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in (99 cm). The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to  minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components.

Installation flow chart

Step-by-step installation
STEP 1 Selecting a location

NOTE
Before you install the washer, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
• Is away from direct sunlight.
• Has adequate ventilation.
• Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperatures under 32 °F or 0 °C).
• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.
• Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t rest on its power cord.

STEP 2 Connecting the water supply hoses

CAUTION

• Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets (B) inside the couplings (A) at both ends of each new water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage.
• When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage your property.
• Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high
  pressure hose.

1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the hot and cold faucets.

2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.
   CAUTION
   When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings.
   NOTE
   After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.

3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing.

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of the washer.
   CAUTION
   The water supply hose connected to the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.

5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier. NOTE
   • To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the hot and cold water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an “4C” (no fill) code can be displayed.
   • If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap into the hot water supply intake. Then, select Cold for the water temperature. If you select Cold, all the lamps for the water temperature options are turned off.
   CAUTION
   Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric shock due to water leakage.

6. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies, and then check the water supply intake connections and the faucets for leaks.

STEP 3 Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
In a wall standpipe or floor standpipe
The standpipe must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm).
If drain pipe are built into the wall with water valves (A), fasten the drain hose to the water hose.
NOTE
Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

In a laundry tub
The tub must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm).
Assemble the supplied Hose guide at the end of the drain hose, and put the hanger on laundry tub. And fasten the drain hose to the leg of laundry tub. NOTE

• Connect the hose guide (A) within 3~5 in (7.6~12.7 cm)* from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread inside the washer.
• The drain hose can be installed to a maximum height of 96 in (245 cm), but the draining capability can be reduced at this height. It can cause the washer to have an odor because water can remain in the drain system.
• If the drain hose is installed below 39 in (99 cm), water can be drained in cycles because of a siphon effect. This can cause the washer to display a “4C” error.

STEP 4 Leveling your washer

See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub:

1. Slide the washer into position.
2. Open the lid of the washer, and pour the water into the tub to just below the pulsator level.
3. If the washer is level, the pulsator (A) will be positioned at the center of the water as shown in the figure.
   If it isn’t, level your washer by turning the front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
   NOTE
   Turn the front leveling feet clockwise (B) to lower the washer, and counterclockwise (C) to raise the washer.

STEP 5 Powering your washer Plug the power cord into a 3-prong, well grounded, 120 volt, 60 Hz, approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the power cord when plugged  into a three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Test run
Make sure that you installed your washer correctly by running the RINSE+SPIN after the installation is complete.

STEP 6 Running a test cycle

Run a test cycle as follows to check if your washer is properly installed.

1. Load about 6 pounds of laundry into the tub.
2. Press POWER to turn on your washer.
3. Select RINSE+SPIN by turning the Cycle Selector.
4. Press START/PAUSE to start the test cycle.
5. The washer should not rock or vibrate excessively when water is supplied or when washing or spinning, and should drain well during the spin cycle.

NOTE

• If water leaks while water is being supplied or drained, check the water connections. Refer to the “STEP 2 Connecting the water supply hoses” section on page 22 for instructions.
• If the washer rocks and vibrates excessively, level your washer again. Refer to the “STEP 4 Leveling your washer” section on page 27 for instructions.

STEP 7 Calibration Mode
Your Samsung washer detects the laundry weight automatically.
For more accurate weight detection, please run Calibration Mode after installation is complete.
To run Calibration Mode, follow these steps:

1. Remove laundry or any contents in the machine.
2. Press and hold Temp. and Delay End simultaneously for at least 3 seconds when the power is turned on.
3. Press START/PAUSE to activate Calibration Mode.
4. The pulsator rotates clockwise and counterclockwise for approximately 1 minute.

Washing clothes using the cycle selector

Your new washer makes washing clothes easy, using Samsung’s “Fuzzy Control” automatic control system. When you Selecta wash program, the machine will set the correct temperature, washing time, and washing speed.

1. Press POWER.
2. Open the lid.
3. Load the articles of clothing one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling it.
4. Add liquid (or powdered) detergent, softener, and/or bleach (if necessary) to the appropriate compartments. See the “Detergent use” section on page 42.
5. Close the lid.
6. Use the Cycle Selector to select the appropriate cycle according to the type of material: NORMAL, HEAVY DUTY, BEDDING, DELICATES, WATERPROOF, PERM PRESS, ACTIVE WEAR, QUICK WASH, SPIN, and RINSE+SPIN.  The relevant indicators will illuminate on the control panel.

2. Remove laundry.

ATC (Auto Temperature Control)

The ATC function controls wash water temperature using the washer’s built-in temperature sensor (thermistor).

NOTE

• Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer’s environments (cold areas, warm areas, various water temperatures, settings of heater temperature, etc.), ATC function in our washer maintains the certain  level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at each cycle.
• If you select NORMAL & HEAVY DUTY cycle, this cycle is the regulation and UL cycle. Since new washers must reduce the amount of energy usage as a first priority, customers will notice more cold water entering the washer. But, this is normal, not a problem. In those regulation cycles, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.
• If customers want to wash  clothes in specific water temperatures, customers should choose a different cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm).

Detergent use

Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

• For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the  load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized. ( Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)

WARNING
For best results, use HE detergents only.
Do not use non-HE detergent, organic detergent, natural detergent or HE detergents with natural ingredients (such as vinegar, baking soda).
NOTE
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

Features

Automatic dispenser
Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach and fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting your washer.
The automatic dispenser must always be in place before you start your washer.
DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.
NOTE

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.
• This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid detergent compartment.

To add detergent to the automatic dispenser:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Load the recommended amount of liquid (or powder) detergent into the detergent compartment before you start your wash.
3. Close the drawer slowly and smoothly to avoid spilling, splashing, or prematurely dispensing the contents.

NOTE

• It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
• Do not put chlorine bleach in the dispenser drawer.

Washing a load of laundry
Loading the Liquid (or Powdered) detergent compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment before starting your washer.
2. If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.

NOTE

• When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the same form – liquid.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment (A) from the detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid detergent compartment.

Loading the Bleach compartment

CAUTION
Use the liquid chlorine bleach only.

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment (B).
   DO NOT overfill the bleach compartment.
   NOTE
   • Avoid splashing or over–filling the compartment.
   • Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at the appropriate time.

2. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches the wash load.
   NOTE
   • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.
   • If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach, add it to the appropriate detergent compartment.
   DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach compartment.

Loading the fabric softener compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment (C). For smaller loads, use less than one capful.
2. Dilute the fabric softener with water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.
3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle.
   NOTE
   • Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.
   • DO NOT use the Downy Ball in the fabric softener compartment with this washer. It will not add fabric softener at the appropriate time.
   Use the detergent compartment.
   ( Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)
   • Do not use liquid fabric softener that is too sticky as it may not mix with the water sufficiently.

SAMSUNG will provide in-home service within the contiguous United States during the warranty period at no charge, subject to availability of SAMSUNG authorized servicers within the customer’s geographic area. If in-home service is  not available, SAMSUNG may elect, at its option, to provide transportation of the product to and from an authorized service center.

To receive in-home service, product must be unobstructed and accessible to the service agent.
During the applicable warranty period, a product will be repaired, replaced, or the purchase price refunded, at the sole option of SAMSUNG. SAMSUNG may use new or reconditioned parts in repairing a product, or replace the product with a new or reconditioned product. Replacement parts and products are warranted for the remaining portion of the original product’s warranty or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. All replaced parts and products are the property of SAMSUNG and you must return them to SAMSUNG.
