Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding

•AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required

•Use an individual branch circuit specific to the washing machine

To ensure proper grounding, the washing machine comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceperson if you are not sure about the grounding.

Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

WARNING

•Do NOT use an extension cord.

•Use only the power cord that comes with the washing machine.

•Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

•Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.

Water supply

A proper water pressure for this washing machine is between 50 kPa and 800 kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washing machine to turn off. Water taps must be within 120 cm from the rear of the washing machine so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washing machine.

To reduce the risk of leaks:

•Make sure water taps are easily accessible.

•Turn off the taps when the washing machine is not in use.

•Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.

CAUTION

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 60~90 cm. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.

Installation

Installation

Flooring

For best performance, the washing machine must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are

not a good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.

CAUTION

Do NOT install the washing machine on a platform or a poorly supported structure.

Water temperature

Do not install the washing machine in areas where water may freeze as the washing machine always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washing machine.

Alcove or closet installation

Minimum clearance for stable operation:

Sides	25 mm	Rear	50 mm
Top	25 mm	Front	550 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or closet must have at least a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specific air opening.

STEP 6  Position the drain hose

The drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

A

Over the edge of a wash basin

The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60 cm and 90 cm (*) from the floor. To keep the spout of the drain hose bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide (A).

Secure the guide to the wall using a hook to ensure stable drainage.

In a drain pipe

The drain pipe should be between 60 cm and 90 cm high (*). It is advisable to use a 65 cm high vertical pipe.

•To ensure the drain hose stays in position, use the plastic hose guide provided (see the figure).

•To prevent the siphoning of water flow during drainage, make sure to insert the drain hose 15 cm in the drain pipe.

•To prevent the drain hose from moving around, secure the hose guide to the wall.

Drain standpipe requirements:

•Minimum diameter of 5 cm

•Minimum carry-away capacity of 60 litres per minute

Laundry guidelines

STEP 1  Sort

Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

•Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.

•Colour: Separate whites from colours.

•Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.

•Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using an Easy Iron option for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.

NOTE

Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.

Before you start

STEP 2  Empty pockets

Empty all the pockets of your laundry items

•Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.

Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out

•If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.

•Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.

STEP 3  Use a laundry net

•Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.

•Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.

•Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.

STEP 4  Prewash (if necessary)

Select the Prewash option for the selected course if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use the Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum.

STEP 5  Determine the load capacity

Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 35.

NOTE

When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2 kg or less.

CAUTION

If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.

28  English

WD80K52E0AW_04057A-00_EN.indd 28			2019/4/16 18:30:07

STEP 6  Apply a proper detergent type

The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

NOTE

•Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.

•Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

CAUTION

When washing wool using the wool course, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with the Wool course, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.

Laundry capsules

To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.

1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the empty drum towards the rear.

start you Before

2.Put the laundry in the drum on top of the capsule.
