NOTE

• If you lose an accessory and want to purchase a replacement, contact the Samsung service center (1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864)).

• The design of the parts and accessories may differ from the pictures above. Their design is subject to change without notice for product improvement.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Only use new water supply hoses when you install the washer. Old water supply hoses can leak or burst causing flooding and property damage.

• Confirm that there are rubber washers inside each coupling of the water supply hoses

Basic location requirements

Electrical

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.

• Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.

• Your washer is equipped with a power cord.

CAUTION Never use an extension cord.

Grounding

Electrical grounding is required for this appliance.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

An improperly connected equipmentgrounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Important safety precautions

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/ FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

CAUTION

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Water

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, causing your Washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose. The water faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm) to the back of your Washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.

NOTE

Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet (275 cm) for faucets that are further away from the back of your washer. To avoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible.

• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.

• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in (99 cm). The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

Minimum clearances for closet and alcove installations:

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465 cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

Recessed area

Side view - closet or confined area

Required dimensions for Installation

Important note to installer

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your washer. These instructions should be retained for future reference. We recommend you hire a professional to install this washer

Installation flow chart

Step-by-step installation

STEP 1 Selecting a location

NOTE

Before you install the washer, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.

• Is away from direct sunlight.

• Has adequate ventilation.

• Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperatures under 32 °F or 0 °C).

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.

• Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t rest on its power cord.

STEP 2 Connecting the water supply hose

CAUTION

Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets (B) inside the couplings (A) at both ends of each new water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage.

CAUTION

When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage your property.

CAUTION

Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the hot and cold faucets.

2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.

CAUTION When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings.

NOTE After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.

3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing.

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of the washer.

CAUTION The water supply hose connected to the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.

5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.

NOTE To ensure correct water usage, connect both the hot and cold water faucets. If either or both are not connected, the Cool (no fill) LED will flash.

NOTE If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap into the hot water supply intake hole. In this case, you must select the Cold for the water temperature. If you select the Cold, all the lamps for the water temperature options are turned off.

CAUTION Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric shock due to the water leakage.

6. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

STEP 3 Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

In a Wall standpipe or Floor standpipe

The height of end of standpipe must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm). If drain pipe are built into the wall with water valves (A), fasten the drain hose to the water hose.

NOTE

• Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not C airtight.

In a laundry tub

The height of the tub must be no lower than 39 in (99 cm) and no higher than 96 in (245 cm). Assemble the supplied Hose guide at the end of the drain hose, and put the hanger on laundry tub. And fasten the drain hose to the leg of laundry tub.

NOTE Connect the hose guide (A) within 3~5 in (7.6~12.7 cm)* from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or microorganisms could spread inside the washer.

NOTE The drain hose can be installed to a 96 in (245 cm) maximum, but the draining capability can be reduced at this height. It can cause the washer to have an odor because of remaining water in the drain system.

STEP 4 Leveling your washer

See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub:

1. Slide the washer into position.

2. Open the lid of the washer, and pour the water into the tub to just below the pulsator level.

3. If the washer is level, the pulsator (A) is positioned at the center of the water as shown in the figure. If not, level your washer by turning the front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.

NOTE

• Turn the front leveling feet clockwise (B) to lower the washer, and counterclockwise (C) to raise the washer.

• Number of leveling feet may differ depending on the models.

STEP 5 Powering your washer

Plug the power cord into a 3-prong, well grounded 120 volt 60 Hz approved electrical outlet protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. Your washer is grounded through the third prong of the power cord when plugged into a three-prong grounded electrical outlet.

Test run

Make sure that you install your washer correctly by running the RINSE + SPIN after the installation is complete

STEP 6 Running a test cycle

Run a test cycle as follows to check if your washer is properly installed.

1. Load about 6 pounds of laundry into the tub.

2. Press POWER to turn on your washer.

3. Select RINSE + SPIN by turning the Cycle Selector.

4. Press START/PAUSE to start the test cycle.

5. The washer should not rock or vibrate excessively when water is supplied or when washing or spinning, and should drain well during the spin cycle.
