							Installing the Washing Machine
Unpacking the Washing Machine
Unpack your washing machine and inspect it for shipping damage.  Also make sure that you have received all of the
items shown below.  If the washing machine was damaged during shipping or you do not have all of the items, con -
tact your Samsung dealer immediately.
Overview of the washing machine
Selecting a location
Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
• A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see Adjusting the leveling feet, below)
• Away from direct sunlight.
• Adequate ventilation 
• Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C
• Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on
its power cord.
Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a car-
peted floor.
Adjusting the leveling feet
If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the feet):
1.Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is
at the desired height.
2.Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the wrench.
• Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface,
noise or vibration occurs. (Only a 1 degrees angle is
allowed.)

							Installing the Washing Machine
Removing the shipping bolts
Before using the washing machine, you must remove all of the shipping bolts from the back of the unit.  To
remove the bolts:
1.Loosen all bolts with the wrench before removing them.
2.Take each bolt head and pull it through the wide part of
the hole. Repeat for each bolt.
3.Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4.Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
Connecting the water supply hose
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the
other.  Do not stretch the water supply hose.  If the hose is too short and you do not wish to move the water
faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.
To connect the water supply hose:
1.Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply
hose and connect to the cold water supply intake on the
back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
2.Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to
your sinks cold water faucet and tighten it by hand.  
If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at
the washing machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating
the hose, and retightening the fitting.
Positioning the drain hose
The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a sinkThe drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60
and 90 cm.  To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the sup-
plied plastic hose guide.  Secure the guide to the wall with a
hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to prevent the
drain hose from moving.
ln a sink drain pipe branchThe drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that
the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.
ln a drain pipeSamsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm and no
longer than 90 cm.

Washing a Load of Laundry
WM stops the current step of the cycle or does not proceed to the next
step of washing (indication of remain time on LED display may increase).
Your new washing machine is equipped with Fuzzy Logic system, which not only sets the optimum level of
water and other parameters of washing, but also controls the washing process as well as makes necessary
corrections in order to provide better washing results. In the above- mentioned matter, the Fuzzy Logic system
has detected deviations in washing cycle such as: high quantity of detergent at the end of the cycle, high
vibration level while spinning, etc.You can adjust existing wash programs, i.e. change wash temperature and
spin speed. After detection of such abnormalities, the washing machine is suspending the normal course of
program in order to normalize these parameters and continue the cycle. Fuzzy logic system makes 7 attempts
to eliminate such deviations. If it is impossible to normalize the above mentioned deviations by Fuzzy Logic
system, you will see the corresponding indication on LED  lamps. (see chapter “Troubleshooting”) The opera-
tion of Washing machine that corresponds to above- mentioned scheme is considered to be normal.

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.
Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly.
Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.
Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (Cotton, Synthetic,
Delicate items) colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.  Always use low suds laundry soap,
which is designed for automatic washing machines.
When determining the detergent quantity, it’s necessary to consider recommendations of the detergent
manufacturer, indicated on the package, as well as weight, type of laundry, it’s fouling factor and water
hardness in your region. 
Note:
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
