USER MANUAL WA50F9A8DSW SAMSUNG

Imagine the possibilities

Thank you for purchasing this Samsung product.

This manual is made with 100% recycled paper. F900A WASH_WA50F_USER MANUAL_DC68-03133H-06_EN.indd 1 2014/8/25 14:26:202_ key features of your new washer

Even bulky garments and blankets get super clean. Samsung’s large capacity washer

provides the room clothes need for a more thorough, cleaner wash.

AquaJet™ washes loads gently and more thoroughly than conventional top loaders.

Sprayed water allows detergent to distribute evenly and penetrate fabrics faster and deeper.

AquaJet™ delivers improved cleanliness and advanced fabric care.

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 eective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving

parts, meaning fewer repairs.

A separate nozzle sprays water equally throughout the tub so that the rinse cycle is eective

even with a small amount of water.

(Vibration Reduction Technology)

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

If you select this option, the water temperature is set to slightly lower than during the normal

wash course to save energy.

7. Pure Cycle™ (Tub Cleaning Cycle)

Clean 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.

This is a convenient function that enables you to save a frequently-used wash course. Once

this is set, you can do a wash simply by pressing the Power, My Cycle, and Start buttons in

problems at an early stage and provides quick and easy solutions.

10. Sanitize (WA50F9A8D*)

When you select the NSF certiﬁ ed 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

been designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization ecacy. NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes WashersF900A WASH_WA50F_USER MANUAL_DC68-03133H-06_EN.indd 2 2014/8/25 14:26:21safety information _3

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with the controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless it is

speciﬁcally recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances

to the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that

has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the

hot water system has not been used for 2 weeks or more, before using a washer or

combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ﬂow from

each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is

ﬂammable, do not smoke or use an open ﬂame during this time.

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.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 o completely, or may extend the ﬁll time beyond what your Washer controls allow, causing your Washer to turn o. 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.Accessory 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 o 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. installing your washer CAUTIONWARNINGCAUTIONWARNINGF900A WASH_WA50F_USER MANUAL_DC68-03133H-06_EN.indd 12 2014/8/25 14:26:23installing your washer _13

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.

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.

Connecting the water and the drain

Connecting the water supply hose

Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are

rubber gaskets inside the ﬁttings at both ends of each new

water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber

gaskets can cause water leakage.

When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses.

Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overﬂow and

may damage your property.

Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to

increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this

way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a

hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure

1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets.

2. Tighten the ﬁttings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an

additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.

When you fasten the ﬁttings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply

tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can

After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets,

ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply

3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open

the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15

seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the

faucets before continuing.

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply

intake connections at the back of the washer.

The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet must be

connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose

connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the COLD

water supply intake.

5. Tighten the ﬁttings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them

an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.

To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the HOT and

COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an

“nF” (no ﬁll) error can occur.

If you do not want to use the HOT water supply hose, insert

the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole. In

this case, you must select the Tap Cold option for the water

temperature.If you select the Tap Cold option, all the lamps for

the water temperature options are turned o.

Conﬁrm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If

the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause

electric shock due to the water leakage.

6. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supplies and check all the water

supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

Connecting the drain hose The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:Over the edge of a wash basinSecure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.In a standpipe or laundry tubThe standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in (99 cm) and no longer than 96 in (245cm).Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.Connection the hose guide within 4 in (10cm) from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 4 in (10cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.Drain Hose can be installed until 96 in (245cm) maximum. But drain capability can be reduced at this height. It causes the washer to have odor, because of remained water in the drain system.If drain hose is installed below 39 in (99cm), water can be drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to “nF” error. STEP 3

Leveling your washer See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub:1. Slide the washer into position.2. Open the lid of the washer, and pour the water into the tub to just below the pulsator level.3. If the washer is level, the pulsator is positioned at the center of the water as shown in the ﬁgure. If not, level your washer by turning the front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the washer, and counterclockwise to lower the washer. installing your washer Laundry tub Stand pipeHose retainer Tie strap39” Min(99 cm)96” Max39” MinLoosen LockPulsatorAdjustable legs(three) 1RPRUHWKDQ
