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.

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose

1. Remove the adaptor from the
water supply hose.

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.

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.

4. 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.

5. Connect the other end of the water
supply hose to the inlet water valve at
the top of the washer. Screw the hose
clockwise all the way in.

•

If the water tap has a screw type faucet,
connect the water supply hose to the
tap as shown.

Note: The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old

hose-sets should not be used.

Drain hose connection procedures

1. Holding down the handle of the

drain hose connector, put in the
drain hose in desired direction.

: Fix the hose into the drainage hole, and give

the hose connector a push to the body to fix
the hose.

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.

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.
