Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:

  • A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet," below)
    • Away from direct sunlight.
  • Adequate ventilation
    • Room temperature that will not fall below 0 °C
    • Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas

Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.

Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.

Adjusting the leveling feet

If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the feet):

  1. Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired height.
  2. Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the supplied wrench.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs.

(Only 1 degree angle is allowed.)

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose

The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

To connect the water supply hose:

  1. Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply hose and connect to the cold water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
  2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink's cold water faucet and tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the washing machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating the hose, and retightening the fitting.

SAMSUNG Q1636S - To connect the water supply hose: - 1

text_image option Hot water supply value

Option:

  1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect to the red hot water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
  2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink's hot water faucet and tighten it by hand.
  3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose(Option)

1. Remove the adaptor from the water supply hose.SAMSUNG Q1636S - Connecting the water supply hose(Option) - 1SAMSUNG Q1636S - Connecting the water supply hose(Option) - 24. Connect the water supply hose to the adaptor. Pull down part (c) of the water supply hose. When you release part (c) the hose automatically connects to the adaptor making a 'click' sound.
2. First, using a "+" type screw driver, loosen the four screws on the adaptor. Next, take the adaptor and turn part(b) following the arrow until there is a 5mm gap.SAMSUNG Q1636S - Connecting the water supply hose(Option) - 3SAMSUNG Q1636S - Connecting the water supply hose(Option) - 45. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washer. Screw the hose clockwise all the way in.
3. Connect adaptor to the water tap by tightening the screws firmly.Then, turn part (b) following the arrow and put(a) and (b) together.

NOTICE After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, then repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.

Positioning the drain hose

The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:

Over the edge of a wash basin.

The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60 and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.

The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed.

*The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

  • Green and yellow: Earth
  • Blue: Neutral

  • Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
  • Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.
  • Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
    * Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt about any of these instructions.

The manufacturer of this washing machine will not accept any liability for damage to persons or material for non observance of these requirements. There are no user serviceable parts inside the washing machine and if the mains lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified service personnel approved by the

manufacturer because special tools are required.

Washing a Load of Laundry

Washing tips and hints

Sorting your laundry : Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:

  • Type of fabric care label symbol : Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools and rayon.
    • Colour : Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.
  • Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
  • Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure new wool, 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 : Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing machine drum, and the water tank.

Securing fasteners : Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

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, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.

Determining 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 TypeLoad Capacity
Cotton /Coloured 7.5 kg
Synthetics /Towel 4.0 kg
Delicates 2.5 kg
Wools /Handwash 2.0 kg
Curtain /Bedding 5.0 kg
Duvert 1 king size (9 Tog)

Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling. Always use "low suds" laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon 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, ask your water authority.

Note:

Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Electrical warnings

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind:

  • Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
  • Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
  • Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
  • Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

Appendix
