English
The provided water hose may differ depending on the model. Please follow the instruction according to the
provided water hose.
3. Open the water tap and check if there are any leaks
around the connection areas. If there are water leaks,
repeat the steps above.
WARNING
If there is a water leak, stop operating the washing machine and disconnect from the electrical supply.
Then, contact a local Samsung service centre in case of a leak from the water hose, or contact a plumbing
technician in case of a leak from the water tap. Otherwise, this may cause electric shock.
English 13

NOTE
• After connecting the water hose to the adaptor, check if it is connected properly by pulling the water
hose downwards.
• Use a popular type of water taps. If the tap is square-shaped or too big, remove the spacer ring before
inserting the tap into the adaptor.

Detergent guidelines
English
The washing machine provides a two-compartment dispenser for detergent and fabric softener. The bleach
compartment is located on the left side of the tub.
To apply detergents
English 19
CAUTION
Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. This may cause fabric
damage.
NOTE
• It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the detergent compartments at the end of the
cycle.
• When adding colour-safe bleach, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Do not use liquid fabric softener that is too sticky as it may not mix with the water sufficiently.
20 English
English
To enable this function, you must first download the Samsung Smart Washer app at the Play Store or the
Apple Store, and install it on a mobile device featuring a camera function.
The Smart Check function has been optimised for Galaxy & iPhone series (applicable models only).
1. Press and hold Wash and Rinse simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter the Smart Check mode.
2. The washing machine starts the self-diagnosis procedure and displays an information code if a problem
is detected.
3. Run the Samsung Smart Washer app on your mobile device, and tap Smart Check.
4. Put the mobile device close to the washing machine’s display so that the mobile device and the washing
machine face each other. Then, the information code will be recognised automatically by the app.
5. When the information code is recognised correctly, the app provides detailed information about the
problem with applicable solutions.
NOTE
• The function name, Smart Check, may differ depending on the language.
• If there is strong reflected light on the washing machine display, the app may fail to recognise the
information code.
• If the app fails to recognise the Smart Check code consecutively, enter the information code manually
onto the app screen.
English 21
Laundry guidelines
English
Checkpoints
• Check for stains or dirt. Apply a little detergent to a white towel. Rub the white towel and the dirty
clothes together to transfer the dirt or colour to the white towel.
• Before washing, pre-treat the sleeves, collars, dress hems, and pockets by brushing with detergent.
• Wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool must be specially treated by tightening them with threads
before washing. Remove the threads after washing and drying is complete.
CAUTION
• Do not place or keep blankets in the tub.
• Do not put candles or a heat source in or on the washing machine.
• Do not wash these clothes:
-- Neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits, and coats can be easily deformed by shrinking or discolouring on
the surface. These clothes are mostly made of rayon, polynosic, cuff, and/or blended fabric.
-- Wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed clothes easily deform merely by soaking in water.
-- Clothes that are easily discoloured made from cotton, wool, wrinkled silk, leather wear and
accessories, and leather ornamented clothes and accessories.
-- Waterproof sheets, mattresses, or wool quilts, rain covers, fishing jackets and trousers, skiwear,
sleeping bags, diaper covers, sweat suits, vehicle covers for automobiles, bicycles, and motorcycles,
bath rugs, and other waterproof items.
22 English
English
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the tub improves the washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Follow the cloth-specific instructions on the care label of delicate items such as pure, new
woollen items, curtains, and silk items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.
English 23
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break
through and tear other laundry items.
• Cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes, lingerie, nylon
stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may float on water during washing and cause problems to the machine.
Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that
could move the washing machine and result in injury.
CAUTION
Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or microfibre quilets) in water before
you run a cycle.
• Inflatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the machine during the wash or drying process.
• Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time. Two different-
sized blankets in the same load may compromise the drying performance due to unbalanced loads.
To input a blanket
Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it on the plastic area (A) of the tub before inserting into the tub.
24 English
English
• To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly and brush off.
• Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after washing.
• Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.
CAUTION
Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.
• Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.
• Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area (A) in the above figure.
English 25
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour,
wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for
automatic washing machines.
CAUTION
• Use an appropriate amount of detergent. Excess amounts of detergent do not produce much
improvement in washing results but cause damage to the laundry due to deteriorated rinsing
performance.
• Bleach is strong alkali in nature, causing damage to or discolouration of the laundry.
• Use a longer or added rinse cycle when using powder detergent that is very likely to remain on the
laundry and cause bad odours after washing is complete.
• If an excessive amount of detergent is used especially in cold water, the detergent doesn’t dissolve well,
ending up with contaminated laundry, hoses, and/or tub.
• In case of timed washing, do not apply detergent directly to laundry or the tub. The laundry may be
discoloured. Use the detergent drawer.
• When washing wool using the Wool cycle, use only a neutral detergent to avoid discolouring the
laundry.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree
of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness,
contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse
process, blocking the drain outlet.
