To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed
(Only applicable to models released in Australia that has drying functions)
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable
that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble
dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked
while hot.
DC68-04542A-00_IB_COMMON-WASHER-COMBO_EN.indd 4DC68-04542A-00_IB_COMMON-WASHER-COMBO_EN.indd 4 2025-02-25 5:48:252025-02-25 5:48:25

Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic
environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like materials should not be dried in a tumble
dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice
is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if
metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, Kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber(latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam
rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

Installation
Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation of the washing machine and to prevent accidents when doing laundry.
Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• 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.
• Do not remove or modify the grounding pin of power cord to
reduce the risk of electric hazard.
• Please use the additional grounding wire provided with
this appliance if there is no hole for earth pin in power inlet
socket.
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.
Flooring
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:
• 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.

Step-by-step installation
NOTE
While unpacking the washing machine, lift the washing machine from the foam base. Make sure the drum support was removed from
the bottom of the washing machine.
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
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.
• If you install your washing machine on a wood floor, install a water-resistance wooden panel (min 1.18 in. / 30 mm thick) to the floor.
Also, we recommend installing your washing machine on the corner of the wood floor.
STEP 2 Remove the shipping bolts
1. Unpack the product from the package and remove all shipping bolts.
2. Insert the bolt caps into the holes.
NOTE
Number of shipping bolts may differ depending on the model.
WARNING
• To avoid injury, cover the holes with bolt caps after removing the shipping bolts. Do not move the washing machine without the
shipping bolts in place. Assemble the shipping bolts before moving the washing machine to another location. Keep the shipping
bolts in a safe place for future use.
• 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
Adjust the levelling feet to level the washing machine. Once the washing machine is level, tighten the locking nuts with a spanner.
CAUTION
• Make sure all the levelling feet are seating on the floor surface to avoid the washing machine from moving or generating noise due
to vibration. Then, check if the washing machine is rocking. If the washing machine is not rocking, tighten the locking nuts.
• When installing the product make sure the levelling feet are not pressing the power cord.
