Installation

Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation of the washing machine and 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.

Water supply
The 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 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 vibrations 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

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 package and remove all shipping bolts.
2. Insert the bolt caps (B) into the holes (marked with circles in the figure).

• Make sure the detergent is added to the centre of the detergent drawer.
• Make sure the rinse cap is inserted properly.
• If using granular detergent, make sure the detergent selector is in the upper position.
• Remove the rinse cap and clean the detergent drawer.

Excessive vibrations or makes noise.|

• Make sure the washing machine is installed on a level, solid floor that is not slippery. If the floor is not level, use the levelling feet to adjust the height of the washing machine.
• Make sure the shipping bolts are removed.
• Make sure the washing machine is not contacting any other object.
• Make sure the laundry load is balanced.
• The motor can cause noise during normal operation.
• Overalls or metal-decorated clothes can cause noise while being washed. This is normal.
• Metal objects such as coins can cause noise. After washing, remove these objects from the drum or filter case.

• Make sure the drain hose is straightened all the way to the drain system. If you encounter a drain restriction, call for service.
• Make sure the debris filter is not clogged.
• Close the door and press or tap Start/Pause. For your safety, the washing machine will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed.
