Installation
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 serviceperson
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 1000 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.

Installation
Installation
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 or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 25 mm Rear 50 mm
Top 25 mm Front 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are
installed in the same location, the front of the
alcove or closet must have at least a 550 mm
unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine
alone does not require a specific air opening.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately such as pure, woollen items, curtains, and silk items.
Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.

STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as
the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be
closed and fixed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings
before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break
through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around
the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that
could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected course if the laundry is heavily soiled. When selecting the pre
wash option, make sure to put powder-type detergent into the main wash compartment.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash properly.
For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 39.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may
be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and
the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
• Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
• Make sure the laundry is fully inserted in the drum and not caught in the door.
• Do not slam the door. Close the door gently. Otherwise, the door may not be closed properly.

English 31
Before you start
STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour,
wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for
automatic washing machines.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the
degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water
hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the
rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with the WOOL
cycle, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.
