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 and you do not wish to move the water faucet, 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 |
cold water faucet and |
tighten it by hand. If necessary, you |

machine end by loosening the fitting, |
the fitting. |
Option: 1. Take the red L-shaped |
hose and connect |
to the red hot water supply |
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.
Note: The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be used.
Positioning the drain hose
The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a sink
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.
ln a sink drain pipe branch
The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.
ln a drain pipe
Samsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.
