SAMSUNG WA40A3005WH - Electrical - 1

CAUTION

Never use an extension cord.

Grounding

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.

SAMSUNG WA40A3005WH - Grounding - 1

WARNING

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.

SAMSUNG WA40A3005WH - Important safety precautions - 1

CAUTION

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 116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) 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 may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, causing your Washer to turn off. 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) to the back of your Washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.

SAMSUNG WA40A3005WH - Water - 1

NOTE

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 off faucets when the washer is not in use.
  • Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

SAMSUNG WA40A3005WH - NOTE - 1

WARNING

Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks

Drain facility

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.

Flooring

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.

Washing a load of laundry

ATC (Auto Temperature Control)

ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor).

NOTE

Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer's environments (cold areas, warm areas, various water temperatures, settings of heater temperature, etc.), ATC function in our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at each cycle.

NOTE

If you select NORMAL cycle, this cycle is the regulation and UL cycle. Since new washers must reduce the amount of energy usage as a first priority, customers will notice more cold water entering the washer. But, this is normal, not a problem.

In those regulation cycles, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.

NOTE

If customers want to wash clothes in specific water temperatures, customers should choose a different cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm/Eco Warm/Cool).

Detergent use

For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent 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. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)

WARNING

For best results, use HE detergents only. Do not use non-HE detergent, organic detergent, natural detergent or HE detergents with natural ingredients (such as vinegar, baking soda).

NOTE

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.

NOTE

This represents appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature range for Hot is 105^ - 125^ F / 41^ - 52^ C, for Warm 85^ - 105^ F / 29^ - 41^ C and for Cold 60^ - 85^ F / 16^ - 29^ C. (Wash water temperature must be a minimum of 60^ F / 16^ C for detergent activation and effective cleaning.)

The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of the water entering your washer depends 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. In this situation, you will need to adjust the water temperature by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using your Washer's heating option, if available.
