setting up your washing machine

Be sure to have your installer follow these instructions closely so that your new washing machine works properly and so that you're not at risk of injury when doing laundry.

CHECKING THE PARTS

Carefully unpack your washing machine, and make sure you've received all of the parts shown below. If your washing machine was damaged during shipping, or if you do not have all of the parts, contact Samsung Customer Service or your Samsung dealer.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

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.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Electrical supply and grounding - 1

Never use an extension cord.

WARNING Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

• 220V-240V 50Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine

Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Electrical supply and grounding - 2

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa -- 800 kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fill than what the controls allow, resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water tank must be within 4 feet (100mm) of the book of your washing machine for the

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65 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 washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.

Surrounding temperature

Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause damage to bolts, the pump, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:

Sides - 25 mm Rear - 51 mm

Top - 25 mm Front - 465 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at least 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specific air opening.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Selecting a location - 1

LAUNDRY GUIDELINES

Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efficient wash.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - LAUNDRY GUIDELINES - 1

Always check the Care label on clothing before washing.

Sort and wash your laundry according to the following criteria:

  • Care Label: Sort laundry into cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wool and rayons.
    • Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new colour items separately.
    • Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the wash action.
  • Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash cycle for pure, new woollen items, 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

Before each wash, empty all the pockets of your laundry. Small, irregularly shaped hard objects, such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips could damage your washing machine. Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal objects.

Metal on clothing may damage your clothing as well as the tub. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. If zips of pants and jackets are open while washing, the spin basket may be damaged. Zips should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.

Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to fix the strings before starting the wash.

Prewashing cotton

Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, prewash with a protein-based detergent.

Determining the 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
ModelJ120 / J1245
Cotton/Auto Load- average/lightly soiled- heavily soiled7.0 kg
Synthetics 3.0 kg
Denim 3.0 kg
Bedding 2.0 kg
Outdoor Care 2.0 kg
Wool 2.0 kg

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Determining the load capacity - 1

  • When the laundry is unbalanced ("UE" lights up on the display), redistribute the load. If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin efficiency may be degraded.
  • When washing Bedding or Duvets, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be degraded.
  • For Bedding or Duvets, the recommended load capacity is 2.0(kg) or less.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Determining the load capacity - 2

Make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry net (to be purchased additionally).

  • The metal parts of the brassieres may break through the material and damage the laundry. Therefore make sure to place them inside a fine laundry net.
  • Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry net (to be purchased additionally). - 1

o not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washing machine and cause an accident resulting in injury.

DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES INFORMATION

Which detergent to use

The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (Cotton/Auto Load, synthetics, items, Hand Wash For Wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use "low suds" laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines. Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based on 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, enquire at your local water authority.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Which detergent to use - 1

Do not use detergent that has hardened or solidified as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overflow becoming blocked.

SAMSUNG J120VWWU - Which detergent to use - 2

Please note the following when using the Wool course.

- Use a neutral liquid detergent for wool only. - When using a powder detergent, it may remain on the laundry and cause damage to the material (wool).
