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-1 12 2014-05-26 11:44:50
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 60~90 cm. 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.

The aqua hose alerts users of a risk of water leaks. It senses the
water flow and turns red on the centre indicator (A) in case of a
leak.
STEP 5 - Position the drain hose
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 of between 60 cm and
90 cm (*) from the floor. To keep the spout of the drain hose bent,
use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the
wall using a hook to ensure stable drainage.
ln a sink drain pipe
The drain pipe must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above
the floor.
ln a drain pipe
The drain pipe should be between 60 cm and 90 cm high (*). It is
advisable to use a 65 cm high vertical pipe. Make sure the drain
hose is connected to the stand pipe at a slant.
Drain standpipe requirements:
• Minimum diameter of 5 cm
• Minimum carry-away capacity of 60 litres per minute

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 - Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing dierent-sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using an Easy Iron option for pure, new woollen
items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting
the wash.
STEP 2 - Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as
well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should
be closed and fixed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the
strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 - Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may
break through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught
around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations
that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 - Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected course if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use the
Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum.
English - 20
Untitled-1 20 2014-05-26 11:44:52
STEP 5 - Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash
properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 26.
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
eciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum
spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UE” error code is displayed, redistribute the load.
Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
STEP 6 - Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool),
colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is
designed for automatic washing machines.
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are
not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain
after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the wool course, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with
the Wool course, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.
