SiiverCare TM Sanitization
The winning combination! Samsung's silver nano technology combines the sanitizing effect
of silver with state-of-the-art science for the ultimate in clean. Two plates of 99.9% pure silver
are converted into silver ions through electrolysis. Even in cold, bleach-less water, the silver
particles remove 99.9% of odor causing bacteria for a "su )er clean" wash. So washing in
cold water is energy efficient and better for your clothes.
Extra Large Capacity
Even bulky garments and blankets get super clean. The large 3.79 cu.ff, capacity leaves
enough room for a more thorough, cleaner wash.
High Efficiency Energy & Water Saving
Washing with Samsung's SilverCare TM, even in cold water, sanitizes the laundry thereby
saving 92% of the energy normally used with hot water sanitization.
Direct Drive inverter Motor
The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the
washer tub from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates
a higher spin speed of 1,300rpms for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has
fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.
Wooimark Certified
The machine wash wool cycle on the Samsung SilverCare TM machines has been tested and
passed the required Woolmark Company specification for machine washable wool products.
Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as specified by
Woolmark and Samsung.
Pedestal with Storage Drawers (Model No : WE357A7W/S/R/L/G)
An optional 15" pedestal is available to raise the washer for easier loading and unloading.
Italso offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100 oz. bottle of detergent
Stacking (Model No : SK-3A1/XAA)
Samsung washers and dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space. An optional
stacking kit is available for purchase from your Samsung retailer.

Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.
This appliance must be grounded. Inthe 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.
/_ Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
....... 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
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. Itis the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
/_ NEVER CONNECT 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 - 120 psi is
required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve
to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow,
resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal
hose becoming loose and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses
provided with your Washer.
_!!} Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm 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.
o 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
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 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 at the factory.

Flooring
For best performance, your Washer must be installed 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 in vibration and/or tendency for 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
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,
the pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F/16°C.
Alcove or closet installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides - 1 in /25 mm Top - 17 in /432 mm
Rear- 2.375 in /60 mm Closet Front - 2 in /51 mm
Ifthe washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in2or 465
cm2of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

14 Waslhing a Iload of Ilaundry

FOR SILVERCARE TM WASHING
An increased consumer demand for energy-saving products prompted Samsung to develop a system to
use silver, widely known for its antimicrobial properties, as a sanitizing agent in your washing machine.
Pure silver atoms have an electron stripped away by electrolysis during the wash and rinse cycles, which
releases up to 16 million trillion silver ions that then penetrate deep into the fabric to sanitize clothing
(according to U.S. EPA Test Guideline DIS/TSS-13) without the need for hot water or bleach.
Here's how it works: A grapefruit-sized device alongside the tub uses two pure silver plates the size of large
chewing gum sticks as electrodes in the water inlet system. The resulting positively charged silver atoms
- Silver ions (Ag+) -- are sprayed into the tub during the wash and final rinse cycle.
This process removed or killed greater than 99.9% of tested bacteria.
Extra delicate blouses, shirts, or even lingerie that can't be washed in hot water can now be sanitized
effectively without the adverse effects of hot water. The silver plates carry a warranty of ten years, and can
easily be replaced by a Service Technician if needed.
To use :
1. Load the washer.
2. Press the Power button.
3. Select a Cycle by turning the Cycle Selection dial.
4. Press the SilverCare TM button.
5. Add detergent in the dispenser tray for main washing, and add fabric softener up to the marked line.
6. Press the Start/Pause button.
: The washer automatically selects optimal washing conditions by sensing the laundry's weight.
(_FOR HOME USE ONLY- COMMERCIAL USERS SHOULD NOTIFY THEIR LOCAL WASTE
TREATMENT AUTHORITIES BEFORE USE
The total number of silver cycles run by the washer is displayed when pushing the Signal button and the
SilverCare TM button.
LU3 : less than 1000 times
LU2 : between 1000 to 2000 times
