Use only the power cord that comes with your washer. When preparing the installation, ensure that your power supply oers: An AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker An individual branch circuit dedicated to your washer Your washer must be grounded. If your washer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. Your washer comes with a power cord that has a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or hot water pipes. Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washer. 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. Water supply Your washer will fill properly when your water pressure is between 20 psi (137 kPa) to 116 psi (800 kPa). A water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause a water valve failure and not allow the water valve to shut o completely. Alternatively, it may take the washer than allowed by the controls, causing your washer to turn o. (A fill-time limit has been built into the controls, designed to prevent overflows or flooding if an internal hose becomes loose.) The water taps must be within 4 feet (122 cm) of the back of your washer for the provided water supply hoses to reach your washer. Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305cm) long. You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

Before using your washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for leaks. Using hard water or bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate abnormally. WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGCAUTIONCAUTIONWARNINGCAUTIONWF457ARG-03153A-07_EN.indd 172013-12-13 10:40:1618_ Installing your washer Installing your washer Drain Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 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. Wooden floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install your washer on a platform or poorly supported structure. Surrounding temperature Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer always retain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause damage to the belts, the pump and other components. Alcove or closet installation To operate safely and properly, your new washer requires the following minimum clearances: Sides 1 in / 25 mm Rear 5.9 in / 150mm Top 17 in / 432 mm Front 2 in / 51 mm If both the washer and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have an unobstructed air opening of at least 72 in² (465 cm²).

Does your washer have excess vibration or noise? STEP 1 Selecting a location Before you install the washer, make sure the location:

away from direct sunlight

STEP 2 Removing the shipping bolts Before installing the washing machine, you must remove all shipping bolts from the back of the unit.

1. Hold the shipping bolt with your hand and pull it through

the wide section of the hole. Repeat for each shipping bolt.

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

3. Store the shipping bolts in a safe location where they can

be easily retrieved in the event that you have to move the washing machine in the future.

This may result in a water leakage and electric shock due to the water leakage. If the hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

1. Connect one end of the COLD water supply hose to the

COLD water supply intake at the back of the washer.

2. Tighten part (A) by hand until it is snug, then make two-

thirds of a turn with a wrench.

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

per hose and install each water supply hose to the faucet. Make sure the hose with the printed word HOT is attached to the HOT faucet.

4. Tighten part (A) by hand until it is snug, then make two-

thirds of a turn with a wrench. For the correct water use, connect both the HOT and COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fill) error can occur. After you have connected the water supply hose to the faucet, ensure that it is connected correctly by pulling the water supply hose downwards. Check if the water supply hose is not twisted or bent. If the hose is twisted or bent, there is a danger of a water leakage and electric shock due to the water leakage.

5. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supply and check all

connections at the water intake and the faucet for leaks. Cold Hot Rubber Washer

CAUTIONWARNINGWF457ARG-03153A-07_EN.indd 212013-12-13 10:40:1922_ Installing your washer Installing your washer Connecting the drain hose The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: Overtheedgeofawashbasin The drain hose must be placed at a height between 23.6 in (60cm) and 35.4 in (90cm). To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving. Inastandpipeorlaundrytub We recommend using a 20 in (52 cm) high vertical pipe or laundry tub. It must be no shorter than 18 in (46 cm) and no longer than 96 in (245 cm). Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is NOT airtight. If drain hose is installed below 18”(46cm), water can be drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to “nF” error. Drain Hose can be installed until 96”(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. Connection the hose guide within 6”(15cm) from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 6”(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer. 96” max18” minHose retainerTie strap Laundrytub 96” max18” minHose retainerTie strap Standpipe 1RPRUHWKDQರFP +RVH*XLGH WF457ARG-03153A-07_EN.indd 222013-12-13 10:40:20Installing your washer _23 01INSTALLINGYOURWASHER STEP 4 Adjusting the levelling feet When installing your washing machine, ensure that the power plug, the water supply and the drain are easily accessible.

ATC(AUTOTEMPERATURECONTROL) ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor). Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer’s environments(cold areas, warm areas, various water temperature, settings of heater temperature, etcs), ATC function in our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at each cycle. If you select normal & heavy duty course, those courses are the regulation and UL course. Since new washer must reduce the amount of energy usage at first priority, customer will notice more cold water entering the washer. But This is Normal, not a problem. In those regulation course, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature. If customer want to wash clothes in specific water temperature, customer should choose a dierent course at each temperature(Hot/Warm/Eco Warm) WF457ARG-03153A-07_EN.indd 422013-12-13 10:40:32Washing a load of laundry _43 02WASHINGALOADOFLAUNDRY DETERGENTUSE Your washer is designed to use high eciency (HE) detergents.

  • For best cleaning results, use a high eciency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High eciency detergents contain sud suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more eciently and cleaning is maximized. 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.

  • Since the performance is seriously aected by a door or steel wall, install the product in an open place. If there is door in front of the installed product, open the door when using the product.
  • Do not place an object maden with steel or glass in front of the front LCD of the washer since it blocks the radio signal.
  • Note that the radio signal may be weaken or interfered and the communication with the smartphone may fail when a microwave oven is used in the house.

  • Since old AP may provide lower performance, use new one if available.
  • Stand the antenna of the AP if available so that the radio signal is more easily propagated.
