1. VRT™ (Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.

Samsung’s extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a kingsize comforter, or up to 26 bath towels in a single load. Since you don’t have to do as many loads, you save time, money, water and energy.

Take gentle care of your fabrics. With inside holes 36% smaller than those of conventional drums, the diamond drum prevents fabrics from sticking out and consequently being damaged.

The stylish design of this washer blends well with your environment.

5. Digital display & Center jog dial

The jog dial enables you to select cycles in both directions with ease, and the display is easy to use and understand.

6. DD(Direct-drive) Motor

The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the washer drum from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates a higher spin speed of 1,200 rpm for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

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 garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only Sanitize cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efficacy.

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. WARNING 01 SETTING UP WARNING 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. WARNING 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 20-116psi(137800kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi(137kPa) 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 ft.(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 ft.(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. WARNING setting up your new washing machine _13 WF409SNL-02657C_EN.indd 13 2009-05-12 ¿ÀÈÄ 8:26:48 setting up your washer 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 floor may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure. CAUTION Location consideration 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 the pump, hoses and other components. Alcove or closet installation MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS: Top – 17 In.(43.2 cm) Sides – 1 In.(2.5 cm) Rear – 4 In.(10.2 cm) Closet Front – 2 In.(5.1 cm) If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in²(465 cm²) of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHER

STEP 1 Selecting a location Before you install the washer, make sure the location:

Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation. Is away from direct sunlight. Has adequate ventilation. Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 0 ˚C). Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas. Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t stand on its power cord. 14_ setting up your new washing machine WF409SNL-02657C_EN.indd 14 2009-05-12 ¿ÀÈÄ 8:26:48 STEP 2 Removing the shipping bolts 01 SETTING UP 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.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied bolt hole covers.

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 18in.(46 cm) high. Hose Guide 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 96” Max cannot be conveniently elevated to at 18” Min least 18in.(46 cm), the drain hose must be supported.

washing a load of laundry _21 WF409SNL-02657C_EN.indd 21 2009-05-12 ¿ÀÈÄ 8:26:52 washing a load of laundry 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. CAUTION Regular detergent is not recommended. Please use HE detergents only. Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the cleaning quality. 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. All laundry additives are added 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:

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

before starting your washer. If an excessive amount of detergent is used it may be mixed with the softener.

2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with 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. To protect the environment, avoid using excessive amount of detergent when washing laundry. 22_ washing a load of laundry WF409SNL-02657C_EN.indd 22 2009-05-12 ¿ÀÈÄ 8:26:53 Pre Wash compartment Bleach compartment (Liquid chlorine bleach only)

Fabric Softener compartment Bleach compartment 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.

02 WASHING A LOAD OF LAUNDRY

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.

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 DISPENSERS

The automatic dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive buildup.

1. Pull out the detergent liquid from detergent compartment.

2. Remove the siphon cap from the fabric softener and bleach

3. Wash all of the parts under running water.

4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.

5. Reinsert the siphon cap and push it firmly into place.

03 CLEANING AND MAINTAINING

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare your washer for storage as follows:

• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your washer through the cycle without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
• Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet and leave your washer door open to let air circulate inside the tumbler.
• If your washer has been stored in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your washer to thaw out before use. Filter cover Step 1 Step 2 Drain cap

(Wash water temperature must be a minimum of 60 °F(16 °C) for detergent activation and effective 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 a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line or using your washer’s heating option, if available. appendix _31 WF409SNL-02657C_EN.indd 31 2009-05-12 ¿ÀÈÄ 8:26:56 appendix CYCLE CHART Use this chart to set the best cycle and option for you laundry.
