Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit specic to the washer.
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 qualied electrician or service person if you are not sure about the
grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not t the outlet, call a qualied electrician to
install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the washer.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of re, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions
and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical
service for your washer.
Installation
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Water
pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or,
it may take longer to ll the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Faucets 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 faucets are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the rst time, check all connections at the water valve and
taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 18 in (46 cm). The drain hose must be
connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the
drain hose.

WW22K6800AW-A2_03645A-02(v1)_EN.indd 17 2017/6/21 9:06:49
Installation
Flooring
For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid oor. Wood oors 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 washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Installation
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.

CAUTION
• Connect the hose guide (A) within 6 in.
(15 cm)* from the end of the drain hose.
If the drain hose is extended beyond
the end of the hose guide, moulds or
microorganisms could spread inside the
washer.
• The drain hose can be installed up to
96 in. (245 cm) high, but the draining
capability can be reduced at the
maximum height. Remaining water in
the drain system may cause an odour.
• If the drain hose is installed less than
18 in. (46 cm) high, water can be
drained during the process due to a
siphon phenomenon. If this happens, an
information code of ‘4E’ appears on the
display.
Wall standpipe drain system

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these
criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into
cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks,
wools, and rayon.
Before you start
• Color: Separate whites from colors.
• Size: Mixing different sized items
together in the drum improves the
washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items
separately using Delicates cycle for
pure, new woollen items, curtains, and
silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
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 xed 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 ne laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself
without other laundry. This may cause
abnormal vibrations that could move
the washer and result in injury.
STEP 4 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washer. Overloading
may cause the washer to not wash
properly.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding
covers, the wash time may be lengthened
or the spin efciency may be reduced.
For bedding or bedding covers, the
recommended maximum spin level is “Low
or Medium Spin”, and the load capacity is
3.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “Ub”
information code is displayed, redistribute
the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce
the spinning performance.
English28
WW22K6800AW-A2_03645A-02(v1)_EN.indd 28 2017/6/21 9:06:54
STEP 5 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type
of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items,
wool), color, wash temperature, and degree
of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry
detergent, which is designed for automatic
washers.
NOTE
• 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 solidied. This detergent
may remain after the rinse cycle,
blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL, use
only a neutral liquid detergent. If used
with WOOL, powder detergent may remain
on the laundry and discolor the laundry.
Use HE detergent only
Your washer is designed to use high
efciency (HE) detergents.
• For the best cleaning results, use a high
efciency detergent such as Tide HE,
Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High
efciency detergents contain suds
suppressors that reduce or eliminate
suds. When fewer suds are produced,
the load tumbles more efciently and
cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names
are trademarks of their respective
manufacturers.)
WARNING
Regular detergent is not recommended.
Use HE detergents only.
