Meeting the installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding

WARNING: Never use an extension cord.

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

When preparing the installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

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

•An individual branch circuit dedicated to 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 that has a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

WARNING: 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 qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is properly grounded.

CAUTION: Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water supply

Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is between 50 kPa to 800 kPa. A water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause a water valve failure and not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Alternatively, the washing machine controls may not handle the pressure and cause the

washing machine to turn off.. (A fill-time limit has been built into the controls, designed to prevent overflows or flooding if an internal hose becomes loose.)

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

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

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

•Making water taps easily accessible.

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

•Periodically checking the water supply hose fittings for leaks.

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

F500E_WF80F5E-03234M_EN_130103.indd 14			2013-01-03 4:32:14

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. Wooden floors 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 washing machine to move slightly during

spin cycle.

WARNING: 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 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 washing machine requires the following minimum clearances:

Sides	25 mm
Top	25 mm
Rear *	50 mm
Front	500 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have an unobstructed air opening of at least 500 mm. Your washing machine by itself does not require a specific air opening.

F500E_WF80F5E-03234M_EN_130103.indd 15			2013-01-03 4:32:14

Installing your washing machine

CAUTION: Do not plug the power cord into a wall socket before the installation is complete.

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

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

•Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (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

STEP 2 - Removing the shipping bolts

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

1.Loosen all the bolts with the wrench.

(*): Optional

2. Hold the shipping bolt with your hand and pull it through the wide section of the hole. Repeat for each shipping bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied bolt hole covers.

4.Store all shipping bolts in a safe location where they can be easily retrieved in the event that you have to move the washing

machine.

F500E_WF80F5E-03234M_EN_130103.indd 16			2013-01-03 4:32:15

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.Loosen all the lock nuts with the 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 lock nuts using the wrench.

STEP 4 - Connecting the water and the drain

Connecting the water supply hose

WARNING: Do not connect multiple water supply hoses. This may result in a water leak and electric shock due to the water leak. If the hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

1.Connect the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply hose to the cold water supply intake at the back of the machine. Then tighten it by turning part (A) clockwise by hand.

(*): Optional

2.Remove the adaptor (B) from the other end of the water supply hose (C).

Laundry guidelines

Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efficient wash.

Always check the care label on clothing before washing.

Sort and wash your laundry according to the following criteria:

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

•Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash colour items separately.

•Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the wash action.

•Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using a delicate wash cycle for pure, new woollen items, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the "Fabric care chart" section on page 40.

Emptying pockets

Before each wash, empty all the pockets of your laundry items. Small, irregularly shaped hard objects, such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips can damage your washing machine.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal objects. Metal on clothing may damage your clothing as well as the drum. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. If zips of pants and jackets are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zips should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.

Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to fix the strings before starting the wash.

Prewashing cotton

Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, saving you energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, perform a prewash cycle with a protein-based detergent.
