What’s included
Make sure all the parts are included in the product package. If you have a problem with the washing
machine or the parts, contact a local Samsung customer centre or the retailer.
• 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 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
suitable 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 to not
close completely, or it may take longer to fill 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
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.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 60-90 cm high.
The drain hose must be connected through the
hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must
fully cover the drain hose.
For best performance, the washing machine must
be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need
to be reinforced to minimise vibration and/or
unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces
do not resist vibration well 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 installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides25 mm
Top25 mm
Rear50 mm
Front550 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 specific air opening.
• 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
NOTE
• To prevent excessive vibration while operating the washing machine, consider stability before anything
else.
• Install your washing machine on a solid and level floor.
• Do not install your washing machine on soft floors or floor coverings.
