Smart PowerFoam™ washer

1. VRT PLUS™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer minimizies noise and vibration with dual 3D vibration sensors and

smart control technology, ensuring quiet operation.

2. The Largest Capacity

Samsung’s extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a

detergent residue & dirt bulidup in the tub, diaphragm and door glass without the need for

special chemical detergents.

5. SpeedSpray™

Samsung’s new Speed Spray technology saves you up to 25%* more time when doing

laundry by shortening wash times while still keeping all segments of the washing process

and getting your clothes clean.

*Based on 8 pounds loads, Normal cycle (under Normal Soil level without any options),

on previous and existing 4.3 cu.ft. Samsung front loading washers released until 2011

without Speed Spray.

**Speed Spray performs in Normal, Bedding PLUS, Deep Steam, Stain Away and

Eco Cold cycle and the saving time may vary by cycles and various load and option

compositions.

6. Deep steam

The Deep Steam feature boosts cleaning performance and loosens grime and dirt, thus

providing superior cleaning results.

7. Smart Care

10. 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. A beltless direct-drive motor generates

a higher spin speed of 1,300rpm for more effective, quiter operation. The washer also has

fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

11. Sanitize

When selecting this cycle, the water heats to an extra high temperature to remove 99.9%

of certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or towels. This certification is

conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification

organization.

Please check the garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only sanitizing cycles have

been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efficacy.

12. Pedestal with Storage Drawers (Model No :

WE357*

)

An optional 15” pedestal is available to raise the washer for easier loading and unloading.

It also offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100 oz. bottle of detergent

13. Stacking (Model No : SK-5A/XAA)

Samsung washers and dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space. An optional

stacking kit is available for purchase from your Samsung retailer.

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.

• Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Grounding

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON 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.

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. It is 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 20-116 psi (137-

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, 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/122 cm 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.

• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

Using hard water or bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate

abnormally.

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.

installing your washer

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 may 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

maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to the

pump, hoses and other components.

have excess vibration

or noise?

STEP 1

Selecting a Location

Before you install your washer, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.

• Has no dust, oil and detergent etc.

• Is away from direct sunlight

• Has adequate ventilation

• Will not freeze (below 32 °F or 0 °C)

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

• Has enough slack for the power cord.

• Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.

STEP 2

Removing the Shipping Bolts

Before using your Washer, you must remove the four shipping

bolts from the back of the unit.

1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.

2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the

spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer.

Repeat for each bolt.

Fill the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 14).

4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.

STEP 3

Installing your Washer

1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be

sure an airtight connection is NOT made

between the drain hose and the standpipe.

The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46

cm high.

Caution must always be exercised to

avoid collapsing or damaging the drain

hose. For best results, the drain hose

should not be restricted in any way – by

elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths.

For situations where the drain hose

cannot be conveniently elevated to at

least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must

be supported.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill

hose.

Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet

connections.

On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer

per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve. Make

sure the hose with the Hot printed line is attached to the

HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a

turn with pliers.

3. Connect the other end of the Hot and Cold water supply

hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washing

machine.Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a

turn with pliers.

For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water

valves. If either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fill)

error can occur.

4. Turn on the “HOT” and “COLD “water supply and check all

connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.

5. Slide your washer into position.

6. Level your washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as

necessary by hand or by using the wrench included with

your washer.

When your washer is level, tighten the locking nuts using

the wrench or (-) flathead screwdriver.

7. Plug the power cord into a 3-Prong, well grounded 120

volt 60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-

amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker.

Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the

power cord when plugged into a three-prong grounded

receptacle.

Your Washer must be leveled on all four sides. A

carpenter’s level should be used on all four corners of

your Washer. It’s a good idea after the first dozen washes

to recheck your washer’s levelness.

Avoid damage to the legs. Do not move

the Washer unless the Locking-nuts are

fastened to the bottom of the Washer.

STEP 4

Calibration mode

Before using Calibration mode, be sure to take out all items from the drum.

Your Samsung washer automatically detects the weight of the laundry.

For more accurate weight detection, please run Calibration Mode after the installation.

Calibration mode is performed by following the steps below.

1. Turn on the washer.

2. Press the Temp. button and Delay Start button simultaneously at least 3 seconds.

3. Remove any contents in the tub and close the door.

4. Press the Start/Pause button to run Calibration Mode.

5. The drum rotates clockwise and counterclockwise approximately for for approximately 3

minutes.

6. When Calibration Mode is finished, the “En/End” appears on the display and the washing

machine turns off automatically. The washing machine is now ready for use.

LOADING YOUR WASHER

• You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes; but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub.

• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or

wrinkling of the load.

• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle with similar

lightweight items.

• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the tub completely – a rug, a pillow,

stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin

performance.

During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the excessive imbalance

inside the drum.

• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your Washer in order to assure good cleaning

results.

• To add a forgotten item:

1. Press the Start/Pause Button.

2. Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds)

3. Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button.

After a 10-second pause, the cycle will resume.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your Washer.

2. Close the door.

Push the laundry into the drum completely to prevent the laundry from being caught in the door or

from falling out of the drum.

3. Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see page 29).

4. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see page 22).

5. Press the Start/Pause Button.

The drum automatically rotates and measures the weight of the laundry without supplying water in

order to adjust the wash time. (The rotating display on the display panel indicates that the weight of the

laundry is being measured.)

6. The Wash Indicator light will illuminate.

7. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

The time may fluctuate to better indicate the time remaining in the cycle.

The actual time required for a cycle may differ from the estimated time in the display depending on the

water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.

8. Before your washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a

quick drain.

• When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” will appear in the display.

• DO NOT attempt to open the door until the Door Lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see

“Loading your Washer” section. (page 21)

• When your Washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle

continues.

• Pressing the Power button cancels the cycle and stops your washer.

•

The Pre Wash, Wash, Rinse and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.

Do not place anything on top of your washer while it is running.

DETERGENT USE

Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

• For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergents such as Tide

HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain

suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are

produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized.

Regular detergent is not recommended. Please use HE detergents

only.

Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat

stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.

FEATURES

Automatic dispenser

Your Washer has separate compartments for dispensing

detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and

fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective

compartments before starting your Washer.

The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before

starting your Washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.

To use:

• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when

adding detergent.

• This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash

cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the

cycle.

When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid

detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. The

washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the

liquid detergent compartment.

Detergent compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the detergent compartment

before starting your Washer.

2. If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.

When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if both laundry products are in the

same form – granular or liquid.

30_ washing a load of laundry

Pre wash compartment

When using the Pre Wash option, detergent should be added to both the Pre Wash

compartment and the detergent compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed

during Pre Wash.

• If high efficiency (HE) detergent is used, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Pre

Wash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the detergent compartment.

Bleach compartment

(Liquid chlorine bleach only)

1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.

2. Avoid splashing or over–filling the compartment.

3. Your Washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub

at the appropriate time.

4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach

before it reaches the wash load.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical

and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of

the fibers or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach,

add it to the appropriate detergent compartment.

DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach

compartment.

• Oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach can be added

to the drum prior to adding laundry.

• Put the laundry into the drum only after confirming

that the oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach has

completely entered the hole of the drum.

• However, to use powdered detergent and powder oxi-type boosters or powdered color-

safe bleach at the same time, it is more effective putting them in together and removing

the liquid detergent holder from the detergent compartment.

Fabric softener compartment

1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment.

For smaller loads, use less than one capful.

2. Dilute the fabric softener with water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.

3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse

cycle.

• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.

• DO NOT use the Downy Ball* in the fabric softener compartment with this Washer. It will

not add fabric softener at the appropriate time.

Use the detergent Compartment.

• It is not recommended using liquid fabric softener that is too sticky as it may not mix

with the water sufficiently.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing.

This will shut off the water supply to your Washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from

escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your Washer to dry out.

Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.

Clean the following as recommended:

Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray

cleaners directly on the panel.

Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Clean the interior of your Washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial

residue that may remain in your Washer as a result of washing clothes.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent

stains on your Washer or laundry.

Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.

cleaning.) The clothes Washer may not ensure these temperatures because the actual water temperatures

entering your Washer are dependent on water heater settings and regional water supply temperatures. For

example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter may be 40° F/4° C which is

too cold for effective cleaning. The water temperature in this situation will need to be adjusted by selecting
