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 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.

Option :

1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect to the red hot water

supply intake on the back of the 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

b

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

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.

• 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 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 longer than 90 cm.
