Installing Your Washing Machine

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 18 in (46 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 at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, your washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed ﬂoor. Wood ﬂoors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.

Surrounding temperature

Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:

Sides – 25 mm	Rear – 51 mm
Top – 25 mm	Front – 465 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at least 465mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a speciﬁc air opening.

STEP 1

Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, 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

•Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 0 ˚C)

•Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

•Has enough space so that the washing machine doesn’t stand on its power cord

WF8702LSW/XSG, WF8702LSW/YL specifications

The Samsung WF8702LSW1/XSG and WF8702LSW/XSG are advanced washing machines designed to provide exceptional performance and convenience for modern households. These models incorporate innovative technologies that enhance laundry efficiency and care for your garments.

One of the most notable features of these washing machines is the Eco Bubble technology. By mixing air, water, and detergent, this system creates a dense foam that penetrates fabrics quickly, removing dirt and stains effectively even at lower temperatures. This not only helps in preserving energy by enabling cold washes but also protects clothes from damage, extending their lifespan.

Another significant aspect of these machines is the AddWash door, which allows users to add forgotten laundry items even after a cycle has begun. This is particularly useful for busy households where it is common to overlook a stray sock or delicate item that requires separate treatment. The flexibility offered by the AddWash feature enhances the overall user experience, making laundry day less of a hassle.

The Samsung WF8702LSW1/XSG and WF8702LSW/XSG are also equipped with a Digital Inverter Motor, which provides a quieter and more durable operation compared to traditional motors. This technology reduces energy consumption significantly, making these washers not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. The Digital Inverter Motor comes with a 10-year warranty, underscoring Samsung's commitment to quality and longevity.

Smart Control is another standout feature that sets these models apart. Users can remotely monitor and control wash cycles via a mobile app, allowing for greater flexibility and convenience. This means you can start or stop a wash, receive notifications when a cycle is complete, and even troubleshoot issues from your smartphone or tablet.

In terms of capacity, these models offer ample space to accommodate large loads, making them suitable for families or those with heavy laundry demands. The user-friendly control panel, with its intuitive design, further streamlines operation, making it easy to select the appropriate wash settings.

Overall, the Samsung WF8702LSW1/XSG and WF8702LSW/XSG washing machines combine cutting-edge technology with practical features, delivering a superior washing experience that meets the needs of today's consumers. From energy efficiency to innovative design, these washers are an excellent choice for those seeking reliability and performance in their laundry routine.
