spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The
items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If
the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stackin
or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should rst b washed
in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool
down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive substances should no
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly ammable substances commonly used in domesti
environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
CAUTION
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous combustion
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically recommended by th
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes an rubbercoated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,

•Use an individual branch circuit specic
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 qualied electrician or
serviceperson if you are not sure about the
grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does
not t the outlet, call a qualied 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 ll 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 ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the
rst 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.
For best performance, the washing
machine must be installed on a solid oor.
Wood oors 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:
Sides25 mm
Top25 mm
Rear50 mm
Front550 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
specic air opening.
