MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

Never use an extension cord.
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.

WARNING

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply o ers:

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

• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine

Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in
a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fi t
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will fi ll properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water
pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut
o completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fi ll than what the controls allow,
resulting in your washing machine turning o . (A fi ll-time limit, designed to prevent overfl ows/
fl ooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water taps must be within 120cm of the back of your washing machine for the provided inlet
hoses provided to reach your washing machine.

Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 305 cm long.

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

• Making water taps easily accessible.

• Turning o taps when the washing machine is not in use.

• Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fi ttings.

Before using your washing machine for the fi rst time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for leaks.

WARNING

ARNO-WIFI_F900E-03285E-03_EN.indd 14ARNO-WIFI_F900E-03285E-03_EN.indd 14 2016-05-10  5:10:202016-05-10  5:10:20

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65cm. The drain hose must be routed through
the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside
diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, your washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor.
Wood fl oors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing
machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.

Surrounding temperature

Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing
machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in the
lines can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:

Sides – 25 mm Rear – 50 mm

Top – 25 mm Front – 465 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet
must have at least 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not
require a specifi c air opening.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

STEP 1

Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or fl ooring that may obstruct ventilation

• Is away from direct sunlight

• Has adequate ventilation

• Will not be freezing (below 0 ˚C)

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

• Has enough space so that the washing machine doesn’t stand on its power cord

supply intake on the back of the machine.
Tighten by hand.

The water supply hose must be connected to
the washing machine at one end and to the

supply hose. If the hose is too short, replace
the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply

hose to your sink’s cold water tap and tighten
it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the
water supply hose at the washing machine end
by loosening the fi tting, rotating the hose, and
retightening the fi tting.

For selected models with an additional hot water intake:

1. Take the red L-shaped arm fi tting for the hot water supply hose and connect it to the 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 tap and tighten

Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

1. 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 tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.

2. 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.

3. ln a drain pipe: We recommend using a 65 cm high vertical

pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm and no longer than
90 cm.

The standpipe drain requires;

• minimum diameter 5 cm.

• minimum carry-away capacity 60 liter per minute.
