Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 46cm. 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 fl oor. Wood fl oors 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 – 150 mm

Top – 432 mm

Front – 51 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at least 465 cm² unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specifi c air opening.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

STEP 1

Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:

•Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or fl ooring that may obstruct ventilation

•Is away from direct sunlight

•Has adequate ventilation

•Will not be freezing (below 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

The Samsung WD1142XVM/YL is a sophisticated home appliance that combines convenience and innovation in laundry care. This washing machine and dryer combo is designed to cater to the needs of modern households, providing efficient clothing care and streamlining laundry tasks.

One of the standout features of the WD1142XVM/YL is its capacity. With an impressive load size, it can handle multiple garments in a single cycle, making it ideal for families or individuals with a busy lifestyle. This combination appliance enables users to wash and dry clothes in one go, saving time and space in homes where separate machines might be impractical.

Samsung has integrated advanced technology into this model to enhance performance and user experience. The Eco Bubble technology is particularly noteworthy; it allows the machine to create a rich foam that penetrates fabric more effectively than conventional washing methods. This not only ensures thorough cleaning at lower temperatures, helping to conserve energy, but also protects delicate fabrics from wear.

Additionally, the WD1142XVM/YL features an inverter digital motor, which operates quietly and efficiently. This motor generates less vibration compared to traditional motors, enhancing the overall durability of the appliance. With fewer moving parts, maintenance is simpler, and the longevity of the washer is greatly improved.

The Smart Check feature is another innovative technology offered by Samsung. This automatic error-monitoring system detects and diagnoses problems via a smartphone app, allowing users to resolve issues swiftly without the need for professional intervention. This ensures that the machine remains in optimal working condition, minimizing downtime.

Moreover, the WD1142XVM/YL is equipped with multiple wash programs tailored to different fabric types and soil levels. This flexibility allows users to customize their laundry experience, whether it's a quick wash for lightly soiled items or a stronger cycle for heavily soiled clothes.

Energy efficiency is a priority in the design of this appliance, as reflected in its high energy rating. By reducing water consumption and energy use, it not only benefits the environment but also lowers utility costs for households.

Overall, the Samsung WD1142XVM/YL is a well-rounded washing machine and dryer combo, packed with features that cater to the needs of modern users. With its advanced cleaning technologies, efficient performance, and user-friendly design, it stands as a reliable solution for all laundry care needs.
