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

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 rear of the washer. Screw the
hose clockwise all the way in.
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.
