Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required
• Use an individual branch circuit specific to the washing machine
To ensure proper grounding, the washing machine comes with a power cord featuring a threeprong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceperson 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.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the washing machine.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washing machine is between 50 kPa and 800 kPa. Water pressure
less than 50 kPa may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the
drum, causing the washing machine to turn o. Water taps must be within 120 cm from the rear of
the washing machine so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washing machine.
To reduce the risk of leaks
• Make sure water taps are easily accessible.
• Turn o the taps when the washing machine is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water valve
and taps for any leaks.
English - 12
Untitled-5 12 2014-02-06 �� 7:04:10
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 60~90cm. 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 washing machine 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 are not a good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washing machine to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in areas where water may freeze as the washing machine
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 washing
machine.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 25 mm Rear 50 mm
Top 25 mm Front 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or
closet must have at least a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does
not require a specific air opening.
02 INSTALLATION
English - 13
Untitled-5 13 2014-02-06 �� 7:04:10
Step-by-step installation
STEP 1 - Select a location
Location requirements:
• Solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
• Away from direct sunlight
• Adequate room for ventilation and wiring
• The ambient temperature is always higher than the freezing point (0 ˚C)
• Away from a heat source
STEP 2 – Remove the shipping bolts
Unpack the product package and remove all shipping bolts.
1. Loosen all shipping bolts on the rear of the machine using the
supplied spanner.
2. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic bolt caps.

WARNING
Packaging materials can be dangerous to children. Dispose all packaging material (plastic
bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of children’s reach.
STEP 3 - Adjust the levelling feet
1. Gently slide the washing machine into position. Excessive
force may damage the levelling feet.
2. Level the washing machine by manually adjusting the levelling
feet.
3. When levelling is complete, tighten the nuts using the
spanner.
