valuable information on the installation, use, and care of this appliance. Please take the time to read
these instructions so that you can take full advantage of the washing machine’s features and enjoy this
appliance for many years to come.
Before using the appliance
• Packing materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packing material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.
• The appliance is designed for home use only.
• Make sure that water and electrical connections are made by qualified technicians, observing the
manufacturer’s instructions (see, “Installation Instructions,” page 4) and local safety regulations.
• All packing and transit brackets must be removed before the appliance is used. Serious damage
may occur if they are not removed. See “Removing the transit bolts” on page 5.
• Perform the first wash cycle without any laundry (See page 9).
WARNING
Always observe Safety Precautions when using your washer. See “Important Safety Instructions” on
the next page.
Never try to repair the washer on your own – dangerous voltage is inside.

A-2 SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury to persons when
using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following
Safety Precautions
1. Read all safety instructions before using the
appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and
having moving parts, there are potential hazards.
To use this appliance safely, the operator should
become familiar with the instructions for
operation of the appliance and always exercise
care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will
be exposed to bad weather..
4. Install and level the washing machine on a floor
that can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which
is not grounded adequately and in accordance
with local and national codes. See installation
instructions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash or dry items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents
or other flammable or explosive substances
as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Hand wash and line dry any items
containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with
flammable liquids or solids, should not be
placed in the clothes washer until all traces of
these liquids or solids and their fumes have
been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid
household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. 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.
c. 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 washing machine 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.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub is
moving.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in published user- repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to
service your washing machine.
12. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool,
dry place where children cannot reach them.
13. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with
vegetable or cooking oil. These items may
contain some oil after laundering. Due to the
remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire
by itself.
14. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids
(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same
wash.
Hazardous fumes can form.
15. Do not wash fiberglass materials.
Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in
subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.
16. Before the appliance is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
17. Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.
18. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
19. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener.

SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions A-3
Grounding instructions
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 cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician
Use of extension cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-
type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged
into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that
it will not be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any
circumstances.
Preferred method of grounding
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Your
washer should be the only appliance on this circuit.

Washing tips and hints
Sorting your laundry : Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:
• Type of fabric care label symbol : Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools
and rayon.
• Colour : Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.
• Size : Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
• Sensitivity : Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure new wool,
curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care
chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets : Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing machine drum,
and the water tank.
Securing fasteners : Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied
together.
Detergent tips : The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, perm press,
delicate items, knit/wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling. Always use “low suds”
laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the
degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is,
ask your water authority.
Notice:
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
