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. Connect the cold water supply hose(Blue) fitting with the L-shaped arm to the cold water supply
intake(Blue) on the back of the washing machine and hand tighten.
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.
Option : 1
. Connect the hot water supply hose(Red) fitting with the L-shaped arm to the hot water supply intake(Red)
on the back of the washing machine and hand tighten.
2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink’s hot water faucet and tighten it by hand.
3. If you want to use only cold water, useY-piece.
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.
In 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.

1.Remove the adaptor
from the water
supply hose.
2.First,using a "+" type screw driver,
loosen the four screws on the adap-
tor. Next,take the adaptor and turn
part(b) following the arrow for gap
about 5mm between them.
3. Connect adaptor to the water tap by
tightening the screws firmly.
Then,turn part (b) following the
arrow and put (a) and (b)together.
5. Connect the other end of the water supply
hose to the inlet water valve at the top of
the washer. Screw the hose clockwise all
the way in.
● If the water tap is a screw type,assemble a
water supply hose that fits to the tap as
shown.
4. Connect the water supply hose to the adap-
tor. Pull down the part (c) of the water
supply hose. When you release part (c) the
hose is automatically connects to the adap-
tor making a 'click' sound.
NOTICE After completing connection,if water leaks from the hose,then repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet
for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big,remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.
Connecting the water supply hose (Option)

In a drain pipe
Samsung recommends you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no
shorter than 60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.
The inside of the drain pipe must be wider than the diameter of the drain.
The drain hose can be extended to a length of up to 180 cm. Use an extension
with an internal diameter at least equal to the diameter of the original hose
and a suitable fitting. The hose extension will run along the floor and only the
part near the drainage point will be raised.
Plugging in the machine
For European Users. You will NOT need to ground the plug of the
washing machine.
For U.S. Users. 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 Instructions

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.

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.
•Color: Divide whites and colors. Wash new, colored 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.
Prewashing cotton: Your new washing machine, combined with mod-
ern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time,
water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a pre-
wash with a protein-based detergent.
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.
Fabric Type Load Capacity
Colored/cotton
– average/lightly soiled 5.0 kg
– heavily soiled 5.0 kg
Synthetics 2.5 kg
Delicates 2.0 kg
Wools 1.5 kg

Maintaining the Washing Machine

SAMSUNG Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions
Detergent tips: The type of detergent you use is based on the type of
fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, 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.
Note;
Keep detergents and additives in a Safe, dry place out of the reach of chil
dren.
Repairing a frozen washing machine
If the temperature drops below freezing and your washing machine is frozen:
1. Unplug the washing machine.
2. Pour warm water on the source faucet to loosen the water supply hose.
3. Remove the water supply hose and soak it in warm water.
4. Pour warm water into the washing machine drum and let it sit for 10
minutes.
5. Reconnect the water supply hose to the water faucet and check if the
water supply and drain operations are normal.
Cleaning the exterior

Electrical warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety pre-
cautions in mind:
•Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
•Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade
wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
•Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are
unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the unit.
•Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in
fire or electric shock.
