Untitled-2 16			12/21/2016 11:06:08 AM

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 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 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 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 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-2 17			12/21/2016 11:06:08 AM

Installation

Installation

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 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 specific air opening.

18  English

Untitled-2 18			12/21/2016 11:06:08 AM
