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.

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.

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:

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

Step-by-step installation

STEP 1 Select a location

Location requirements:

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

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.

WARNING : Packaging materials can be dangerous to children. Dispose all packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of children’s reach.

STEP 3 Adjust the levelling feet

1. Gently slide the washing machine into position. Excessive force may damage the levelling feet.

2. Level the washing machine by manually adjusting the levelling feet.

3. When levelling is complete, tighten the nuts using the spanner.

STEP 4 Connect the water hose

Connect the water hose to the water tap.

1. Remove the adaptor (A) from the water hose (B)

2. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen four screws on the adaptor.

3. Hold the adaptor and turn part (C) in the arrow direction to loosen it by 5 mm (*).

4. Insert the adaptor into the water tap, and tighten the screws while lifting up the adaptor.

5. Turn part (C) in the arrow direction to tighten it

6. While holding down part (D), connect the water hose to the adaptor. Then, release part (D). The hose fits into the adaptor with a clicking sound.

7. If you are using a screw type of water tap, use the provided screw-type adaptor to connect to the water tap as shown.

8. Connect the other end of the water hose to the inlet valve on the back of the washing machine. Turn the hose clockwise to tighten.

9. Open the water tap and check if there are any leaks around the connection areas. If there are water leaks, repeat the steps above.

WARNING: If there is a water leak, stop operating the washing machine and disconnect from the electrical supply. Then, contact a local Samsung service centrel. Otherwise, this may cause electric shock.

CAUTION :Do not stretch the water hose by force. If the hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high-pressure hose.

NOTE

After connecting the water hose to the adaptor, check if it is connected properly by pulling the water hose downwards.
Use a popular type of water taps. If the tap is square-shaped or too big, remove the spacer ring before inserting the tap into the adaptor.

For models with an additional hot water inlet:

Connect the red end of the hot water hose to the hot water inlet on the back of the machine.
Connect the other end of the hot water hose to the hot water tap

Aqua stop hose (applicable models only)

The aqua stop hose alerts users of any water leak risks. It senses the water flow and turns red on the centrel indicator (A) in case of a leak

NOTE: The end of the aqua stop hose must be fitted to the water tap and not the machine.

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

CAUTION: Do not put the drain hose in places of stagnant water or ponding. The water may flow back to the washing machine.

STEP 6 Power on

Plug the power cord into a wall socket featuring an AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Then, press Power to turn on the washing machine.
