setting up your washing machine

Meeting installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of fre, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Never use an extension cord.

WARNING Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine. When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

•220V~240V 50Hz 15 AMP 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 electrical shock. Check with a qualifed 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 ft the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifed electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will fll 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 off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fll than what the controls allow, resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fll-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/ flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water taps must be within 4 feet (122cm) 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 10 feet (305cm) long. You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

•Making water taps easily accessible.

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

•Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fittings.

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

14_ setting up your new washing machine

WF1804WP-03025Q-03_EN.indd 14		2014/6/30 13:50:34

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65 cm. 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 floor. Wood floors 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 – 51 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 specifc 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 flooring that may obstruct ventilation

•Is away from direct sunlight

•Has adequate ventilation

•Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 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

STEP 2

Removing the shipping bolts

Before installing the washing machine, you must remove the fve shipping bolts from the back of the unit.

1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.

2. Hold the bolt with the spanner and pull it through the wide
section of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.	Option

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4.Store the shipping bolts away safely in case you have to move the washing machine in the future.

Packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic WARNING bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.

Insert the cap fxer, (one of the accessories in the vinyl pack), into the hole from which you removed the power cord at the back of the product.

STEP 3

Adjusting the levelling feet

When installing your washing machine, ensure that the power plug, the water supply and the drain are easily accessible.

1.Slide the washing machine into position.

2.Level your washing machine by turning the

leveling feet in and out as necessary by hand.

3.When your washing machine is level, tighten the nuts using the wrench supplied with your washing machine.

supply hose and connect it to the cold water 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 water tap 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.

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 ftting, rotating the hose, and retightening the ftting.

For selected models with an additional hot water intake:

1.Take the red L-shaped arm ftting 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 it by hand.

3.Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.
