Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow 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 off vapors that could ignite or explode. 3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing or drying compartment. 5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. 6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. 7. Do not tamper with controls. 8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically 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 off vapors that could ignite or explode. 10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system 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.

Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding · AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker is required. · Use an individual branch circuit. Connect only the washer to the circuit.
To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure about the grounding. Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.
WARNING · Do NOT use an extension cord. · Use only the power cord that comes with the washer. · Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes. · Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock. · To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be
done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 ­ Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical service for your washer.
Water supply Proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Water taps must be within 4 ft. (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washer. To reduce the risk of leaks: · Make sure water taps are easily accessible. · Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use. · Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
Drain Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in. (460 mm) high. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.

Installation
Flooring For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer.

Laundry guidelines
STEP1Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria: · Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon. · Color: Separate whites from colors. · Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance. · Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. For pure, new woolen items, curtains, and silk items, check
the labels on the items. NOTE Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash.
STEP2Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items · Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as
the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out · If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed
and fixed with a string. · Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings
before starting the wash.

28 English
Untitled-17 28

2021-06-07 3:24:00

English

STEP3Use a laundry net
· Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
· Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
· Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washer and result in injury.
STEP4Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washer. Overloading may cause the washer to wash improperly.
NOTE When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin level is Level 2 or Level 3, and the load capacity is 3.0 kg or less.
CAUTION If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce spinning performance.
STEP5Add the correct detergent type
The type of detergent you use – general purpose, specifically for woolens, etc. – depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Regardless of the specific type of detergent you use, always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent which is designed for automatic washers.
NOTE · Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree
of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact your local water authority. · Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. Powdered detergent used with the WOOL cycle can remain on the laundry and discolor it.

Untitled-17 29

2021-06-07 3:24:00

English

Before you start

Use HE detergent only

· 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 nonHE detergent, organic detergent, natural detergent or HE detergents with natural ingredients (such as vinegar, baking soda).

Detergent drawer guidelines
The washer provides a three-compartment dispenser: the front-left compartment for the main wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear-right for the liquid chlorine bleach.

A
9

A. Main-wash compartment: Add main-wash detergent, water softener, soaking detergent, color­safe, and/or stain removers.
B. Softener compartment: Add fabric softener. Do not exceed the max line.
C. Bleach compartment: Add liquid chlorine bleach. Do not exceed the max line.

CAUTION
· Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating. · Do not put a tablet or capsule type detergents into the detergent drawer. Put them directly into the
drum. · Do not use a ball type detergent. · To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents (fabric softener or
detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.

30 English
Untitled-17 30

2021-06-07 3:24:00

English

To add washing agents to the detergent drawer
1. Slide open the detergent drawer. 2. Add liquid laundry detergent to the liquid detergent
container in the main wash compartment.

CAUTION · Make sure the liquid detergent container is inserted
in the main wash compartment. · Do not exceed the marked max line (A).
NOTE · Do not add powdered laundry detergent or other
powdered laundry agents to the liquid laundry container. · To use powdered detergent, see page 31.
3. Add fabric softener to the softener compartment. Do not exceed the max line (B).
CAUTION · Powdered fabric softener is not recommended. Use
liquid fabric softener only.
9
· Concentrated fabric softener must be diluted with water before being added.
· Do not add main-wash detergent to the softener compartment.
4. Close the detergent drawer.

To use powdered detergent

First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the main-wash compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the main-wash compartment according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Do not add powdered detergent to the liquid detergent container.

Untitled-17 31

English31
2021-06-07 3:24:00

English

Before you start
To use the bleach compartment

Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not exceed the max line.
CAUTION
Do not add undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly to the load or to the drum. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss if not used properly.

To use oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach
Oxygen boosters or color-safe bleach can increase washing performance. Make sure to add the oxygen booster or color-safe bleach after putting the laundry into the drum.
NOTE To use both powdered detergent and powdered oxygen booster or powdered color-safe bleach, it is more effective to put them together into the drum before loading the laundry.

Maintenance
Recovery from freezing
The washer may freeze when the temperature in its location drops below 32 °F (0 °C). 1. Turn off the washer, and then unplug the power cord. 2. Pour warm water over the water tap to loosen the water hose. 3. Disconnect the water hose, and then soak it in warm water. 4. Pour warm water into the drum and leave it for about 10 minutes. 5. Reconnect the water hose to the water tap.
NOTE If the washer still doesn’t operate normally, repeat the steps above.
Care for an extended period of non-use
Avoid leaving the washer unused for an extended time. However, if you intend to leave the washer unused for a long period of time, follow the directions below: 1. Press Power, and then turn the Cycle Selector to RINSE+SPIN. 2. Empty the drum, and then press and hold Start/Pause (Hold to Start). 3. When the cycle is complete, close the water taps and disconnect the water hoses. 4. Turn off the washer, and then unplug the power cord. 5. Open the door to let air circulate through the drum.
Cleaning the exterior
1. Turn off the water taps after finishing the day’s washing. This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your washer to dry out.
2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur. Clean the following as recommended below: – Control Panel ­ Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. – Cabinet ­ Clean with soap and water.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.
CAUTION Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your washer or laundry.
NOTE Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.

AVERTISSEMENT
Afin de réduire les risques d’incendie, d’électrocution ou de blessures physiques lors de l’utilisation de l’appareil, des précautions de base doivent être prises :
1. Lisez attentivement toutes les consignes avant d’utiliser l’appareil. 2. Ne lavez et ne faites sécher aucun article ayant été en contact de quelque manière que ce soit (nettoyage,
lavage, trempage ou tache) avec de l’essence, des solvants de nettoyage à sec ou toute autre substance inflammable ou explosive. Ces substances dégagent en effet des vapeurs qui risquent de s’enflammer ou d’exploser. 3. Ne laissez pas les enfants jouer sur ou dans l’appareil. Une surveillance attentive s’impose lorsque l’appareil est utilisé à proximité d’enfants. 4. Avant la mise hors service ou au rebut de l’appareil, retirez le hublot du compartiment de lavage ou de séchage. 5. Ne tentez pas d’ouvrir l’appareil lorsque le tambour est en mouvement. 6. N’installez et n’entreposez jamais cet appareil dans un endroit exposé aux intempéries. 7. Ne jouez pas avec les commandes de l’appareil. 8. Ne procédez pas à la réparation ou au remplacement des pièces de l’appareil et ne tentez pas non plus de le réparer vous-même, sauf si le manuel d’entretien ou de réparation contient des recommandations spécifiques en la matière que vous comprenez et êtes en mesure d’exécuter. 9. N’ajoutez jamais d’essence, de solvant de nettoyage à sec ou d’autres substances inflammables ou explosives dans l’eau du lave-linge. Ces substances dégagent en effet des vapeurs qui risquent de s’enflammer ou d’exploser. 10. Dans certaines conditions, de l’hydrogène peut être dégagé dans les systèmes d’eau chaude qui n’ont pas été utilisés depuis au moins 2 semaines. L’HYDROGÈNE EST UN GAZ EXPLOSIF. Si votre réseau d’eau chaude n’a pas été utilisé pendant au moins deux semaines, ouvrez tous les robinets d’eau chaude de votre maison et laissez l’eau couler plusieurs minutes avant d’utiliser votre lave-linge ou votre lave-linge/sèche- linge combiné. Cela permettra d’éliminer l’éventuelle accumulation d’hydrogène. L’hydrogène étant un gaz inflammable ; ne fumez pas et ne créez aucune flamme ni étincelle pendant cette opération.

· N’UTILISEZ PAS de rallonge avec cet appareil. · Utilisez uniquement le cordon d’alimentation fourni avec le lave-linge. · NE RELIEZ PAS un conducteur de terre à une canalisation de plomberie en plastique, une conduite de gaz ou une
canalisation d’eau chaude. · Un branchement incorrect des conducteurs de terre peut créer un risque d’électrocution. · Pour prévenir tout risque d’incendie, d’électrocution ou de blessure corporelle, l’intégralité du câblage et de la
mise à la terre doit être réalisée conformément aux réglementations locales ou, en l’absence de ces dernières, au code électrique national (National Electrical Code), à la dernière révision de la norme ANSI/NFPA n°70 (pour les États-Unis) ou aux dispositions canadiennes sur l’électricité CSA C22.1 (dernières révisions) et aux réglementations locales. Il relève de votre responsabilité de fournir un service électrique adapté à votre lavelinge.
Arrivée d’eau Pour ce lave-linge, la pression d’eau doit être comprise entre 20 et 116 psi (137 et 800 kPa). Une pression inférieure à 20 psi (137 kPa) risque d’empêcher la vanne d’arrivée d’eau de se fermer correctement et la durée de remplissage du tambour risque d’augmenter, entraînant ainsi l’arrêt du lave-linge. Les robinets d’arrivée d’eau doivent se trouver à moins de 4 pi (122 cm) de l’arrière du lave-linge afin que les tuyaux d’arrivée d’eau fournis puissent atteindre l’appareil. Pour réduire le risque de fuite : · Faites en sorte que les robinets d’arrivée d’eau soient facilement accessibles. · Fermez les robinets lorsque vous n’utilisez pas le lave-linge. · Vérifiez régulièrement l’absence de toute fuite au niveau des raccords des tuyaux d’arrivée d’eau.
ATTENTION
Avant d’utiliser le lave-linge pour la première fois, vérifiez l’absence de fuites au niveau des raccords de la vanne d’arrivée d’eau et des robinets.

Installation
Vidange Samsung conseille d’utiliser un conduit vertical de 18 po (460 mm) de hauteur. Le tuyau de vidange doit être introduit dans le collier de serrage puis dans le conduit vertical et ce dernier doit entièrement recouvrir le tuyau de vidange.
Sol Pour un fonctionnement optimal, le lave-linge doit être installé sur un sol solide. Si le sol est en bois, il est possible que vous deviez le renforcer afin de réduire les vibrations et/ou les problèmes de déséquilibre. La présence de moquette ou de surfaces molles ne permet pas une bonne résistance aux vibrations et peut entraîner un léger déplacement de votre lave-linge durant l’essorage.
ATTENTION N’installez JAMAIS votre lave-linge sur une plate-forme ou sur une structure fragile.
Température de l’eau N’installez pas votre lave-linge dans une pièce où la température est susceptible de descendre en dessous de zéro degré, car l’eau restant dans les vannes d’arrivée d’eau, les pompes et/ou les tuyaux risquerait de geler. Si de l’eau venait à geler, les courroies, la pompe et d’autres composants du lave-linge pourraient être endommagés.

Installation étape par étape
ÉTAPE1Choisir un emplacement Choix de l’emplacement : · une surface dure et de niveau, sans moquette ou autre revêtement de sol susceptible d’obstruer l’aération ; · une absence d’exposition à la lumière directe du soleil ; · une pièce dont la ventilation et le câblage sont appropriés ; · une température ambiante toujours supérieure au point de gel (32 °F / 0 °C) ; · éloigné de sources de chaleur.
ÉTAPE2Enlever les boulons de transport
Déballez l’appareil et retirez tous les boulons de transport. 1. Desserrez tous les boulons de transport situés à l’arrière
de l’appareil à l’aide de la clé. REMARQUE Utilisez l’extrémité fermée de la clé fournie pour retirer les boulons de transport.
2. Bouchez les trous avec les cache-boulons en plastique fournis. Conservez les boulons de transport pour une prochaine utilisation.
AVERTISSEMENT · Les boulons de transport maintiennent le tambour en place pendant le transport de l’appareil et réduisent le
risque de dommages pour le système de suspension. Retirez les boulons de transport avant d’utiliser l’appareil et réinstallez-les uniquement si vous devez déplacer l’appareil. · Les matériaux d’emballage peuvent être dangereux pour les enfants. Tenez tous les matériaux d’emballage (sacs en plastique, polystyrène, etc.) hors de portée des enfants.
