Installing the Washing Machine

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.

• Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs.
(Only a l degrees angle is allowed.)

Removing the shipping bolts

Before using the washing machine, you must remove the three shipping bolts from the back
of the unit. To remove the bolts:

1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.

2. Take each bolt head and pull it through the wide part of the hole.

Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Keep the shipping bolts for future use.

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 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.

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.
