Unpack your washer and inspect it for shipping damage. Make sure you have received all the items
shown below. If your washer was damaged during shipping, or you do not have all the items, contact
1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
To prevent personal injury or strain, wear protective gloves whenever lifting or carrying the unit.
The packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.
Never use an extension cord.
Use only the power cord that comes with your washer.
WARNING
When preparing the installation, ensure that your power supply o ers:
• An AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker
• An individual branch circuit dedicated to your washer
Your washer must be grounded. If your washer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Your washer comes with a power cord that has 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.
WARNING
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 washer is properly
WARNING
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the washer. If it does not fi t the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
CAUTION
Important safety precautions
To prevent unnecessary risk of fi re, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
CAUTION
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.
Water supply
Your washer will fi ll properly when your water pressure is between 20 psi (137 kPa) to 116 psi
(800 kPa). A water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause a water valve failure and not
allow the water valve to shut o completely. Alternatively, it may take the washer than allowed
by the controls, causing your washer to turn o . (A fi ll-time limit has been built into the controls,
designed to prevent overfl ows or fl ooding if an internal hose becomes loose.)
The water taps must be within 4 feet (122 cm) of the back of your washer for the provided water
supply hoses to reach your washer.
Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply 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 o water taps when the washer is not in use.
• Periodically checking the water supply hose fi ttings for leaks.
Before using your washer for the fi rst time, check all connections at the water valve and
taps for leaks.
WARNING
Using hard water or bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate
abnormally.
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 18 in (46 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 washer must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor. Wooden
fl oors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and
soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or poorly supported structure.
WARNING
Surrounding temperature
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer always retain
some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause
damage to the belts, the pump and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
To operate safely and properly, your new washer requires the following minimum clearances:
Sides1 in / 25 mmRear5.9 in / 150mm
Top17 in / 432 mmFront2 in / 51 mm
If both the washer and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have
an unobstructed air opening of at least 72 in² (465 cm²). Your washer by itself does not require a
specifi c air opening.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses. This may result in a water leakage and electric
shock due to the water leakage. If the hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer,
CAUTION
high pressure hose.
1. Connect one end of the COLD water supply hose to the
COLD water supply intake at the back of the washer.
2. Tighten part (A) by hand until it is snug, then make two-
thirds of a turn with a wrench.
3. On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer
per hose and install each water supply hose to the faucet.
Make sure the hose with the printed word HOT is
attached to the HOT faucet.
4. Tighten part (A) by hand until it is snug, then make two-
thirds of a turn with a wrench.
For the correct water use, connect both the HOT
and COLD water faucets. If either or both are not
connected, an “nF” (no fi ll) error can occur.
After you have connected the water supply hose to
the faucet, ensure that it is connected correctly by
pulling the water supply hose downwards.
Check if the water supply hose is not twisted or bent.
If the hose is twisted or bent, there is a danger of a
WARNING
water leakage and electric shock due to the water
leakage.
5. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supply and check all
connections at the water intake and the faucet for leaks.
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
The drain hose must be placed at a height between 23.6 in
(60cm) and 35.4 in (90cm). To keep the drain hose spout bent,
use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). 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.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
We recommend using a 20 in (52 cm) high vertical pipe or
laundry tub. It must be no shorter than 18 in (46 cm) and no
longer than 96 in (245 cm).
Make sure that the connection between the drain hose
and the standpipe is NOT airtight.
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. Loosen all the lock nuts with the supplied wrench.
3. Level your washing machine by turning the levelling feet in
and out as necessary by hand.
4. When your washing machine is level, tighten the locking
nuts using a wrench or fl athead screwdriver.
Your washer must be level on all four sides. A carpenter’s level should be used on all four
corners of your washer. It’s a good idea after the fi rst dozen washes to make sure your
washer is still level.
Avoid damage to the legs. Do not move the washer unless the locking nuts are fastened to
the bottom of the washer.
Plug the power cord into a wall socket, an AC 120V / 60Hz approved electrical outlet protected
by a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker. (For more information on the electrical and grounding
requirements, refer to the “Electrical supply and grounding” section on page 17.)
When the power plug is connected, the Samsung logo is displayed for about 15 seconds
before the screen turns o . Press the Power button to use your washer.
The process shown in this fi gure is a preparation step for using your washer. It is not an
indication of a failure.
