1. Large Capacity
Even bulky garments and blankets get super clears. Samsung's large capacity washer
provides the room clothes need for a more thorough, cleaner wash.
2. AquaJet TM
AquaJet TM washes loads gently and more thoroughly than conventional top loaders.
Sprayed water allows detergent to distribute evenly and penetrate fabrics faster and deeper.
AquaJet TM delivers improved cleanliness and advanced fabric care.
3. DD Motor
The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the
washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. The beltless direct-drive motor generates
a higher spin speed for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving
parts, meaning fewer repairs.
4. Mist Shower
A separate nozzle sprays water equally throughout the tub so that the rinse cycle is effective
even with a small amount of water.
5. VRT ®(Vibration Reduction Technology)
This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.
6. Eco Pius
Ifyou select this option, the water temperature is set to slightly lower than during the normal
wash course to save energy.
7. Pure Cycle TM (Tub Cleaning Cycle)
Clears your drum with one button! Pure Cycle is specially designed to remove detergent
residue and dirt bulidup in the tub, without the need for special chemical detergents.
8. My Cycle
This is a convenient function that enables you to save a frequently-used wash course. Once
this is set, you cars do a wash simply by pressing the Power, My Cycle, and Start buttons in
sequence.
9. Smart Care
Samsung's Smart Care, an automatic error-monitoring system, detects and diagnoses
problems at an early stage and provides quick and easy solutions.
10. Sanitize (WA50F9A8D*)
When you select the NSF certified Sanitize cycle, the water heats to an extra high
temperature and removes 99.9% of certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or
towels. This certifi cation is awarded by NSF International, an independent third-party testing
and certifi cation organization.
Please check the garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only sanitizing cycles have

Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.
Z_ NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION
Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLIANCE,
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 power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical
....... shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
A NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR
....... HOT WATER PIPES.
Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116psi (137 to
800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve
to shut off completely, or may extend the filltime beyond what your Washer controls allow,
causing your Washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your
home if a hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet /122 cm of the back of your Washer to match the inlet
hoses provided with your Washer.
_ ccessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet /275 cm for faucets that
are further away from the back of your Washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
,, Have water faucets easily accessible
,, Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
,, Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
WARNING
12 installing your washer

Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in /99 cm. The drain hose must be routed
through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the
outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain
some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the
pump, hoses, and other components.
