Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit specic to the washing machine.
To ensure proper grounding, the washing machine comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualied 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 qualied 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 ll the drum, causing the washing machine to turn off. 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 off the taps when the washing machine is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the rst time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
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.
Installation
English 17
Untitled-15 17 1/24/2017 8:37:47 PM
Installation
Flooring
For best performance, the washing machine 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 washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Installation
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.
CAUTION
Alcove installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 25 mm Top 25 mm Rear 50 mm Front 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove must have at least a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specic air opening.
English18
Untitled-15 18 1/24/2017 8:37:47 PM

Step-by-step installation

STEP 1 Select a location
Location requirements:
• Solid, level surface without carpeting or ooring 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. Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
