Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3.Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
4.Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing or drying compartment.
5.Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6.Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7.Do not tamper with controls.
8.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
9.Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
10.Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washer or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
•To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure about the grounding.
•Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

Water supply
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washer to turn
off. Taps must be within 4 feet (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washer. To reduce the risk of leaks:
•Make sure taps are easily accessible.
•Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
•Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in (46 cm) high. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.
Flooring
For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer 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 washer.

STEP 3 Adjust the levelling legs
1. Gently slide the washer into position. Excessive force may damage the levelling legs.
2. Level the washer by manually adjusting the levelling legs.
3. When levelling is complete, tighten the nuts using the wrench.
NOTE
An adjustable wrench or 17 mm openend wrench is required to loosen or tighten the leveling legs.
STEP 4 Put the rubber cups on the legs (Only for sort floor or surface)
To protect a soft floor or surface, use the provided rubber cups. You don’t need to use the rubber cups on a hard floor or on a pedestal.
1. Let two or more persons hold both sides of the washer.
2. While slanting the washer to one side, put the rubber cups under each leg of the washer one by one.
CAUTION
Make sure you have two or more persons insert the rubber cups. Otherwise, the washer may fall, causing physical or property damage.

STEP 5 Connect the water hoses
CAUTION
• Make sure you use a new water hose and that there are rubber gaskets (B) inside the couplings (A) at either end of each water hose. A water hose without the gasket may leak.
• If there is a water leak, stop using the
