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, contact 
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 
carpeted 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 sink’s 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 sink
The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60 and 90 cm. To 
keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied 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 branch
The 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 pipe
Samsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be 
no shorter than 60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.

Installing the Washing Machine
Plugging in the machine
You MUST ground the plug of the washing machine.
Check with a licensed electrician before using the machine to make sure it is properly grounded.
For U.K. Users.
Wiring lnstructions
- WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing 
reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the electric current.
The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth wire for 
connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug.
The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed.
* The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
•   Green and yellow : Earth
•   Blue : Neutral
•   Brown : Live
•   AS the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not  correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, 
proceed as follows.
•   Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with the  letter E or the earth symbol ( 
 ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
•   Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured  black.
•   Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured  red.
*  Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt about any of  these instructions.
The manufacturer of this washing machine will not accept any liability for 
damage to persons or material for non observance of these requirements. 
There are no user serviceable parts inside the washing machine and if the mains 
lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified service 
personnel approved by the manufacturer because special tools are required.

WARNING
Ensure that the plug and 
power cord are not damaged 
before use. If you have any 
reason to remove the moulded 
plug from this appliance, 
immediately remove the fuse 
and dispose of the plug.
Do not connect the plug to 
a mains socket under any 
circumstances as there is a 
danger of electric shock.
CIRCUITS
Your washing machine should 
be operated on a separate 
circuit from other appliances. 
Failure to do this may cause 
the circuit breaker to trip or the 
fuse to blow.

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 operation 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 Wool 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, Wool 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.
