Installation

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 800 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.
