Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65 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 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specific 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 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
