MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Never use an extension cord.

WARNING Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine. When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

•AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker

•Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine

Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fill than what the controls allow, resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/ flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water taps must be within 4 feet (122cm) of the back of your washing machine for the provided inlet hoses provided to reach your washing machine.

Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305cm) long. You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

•Making water taps easily accessible.

•Turning off taps when the washing machine is not in use.

•Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fittings.

Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water WARNING valve and taps for leaks.

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.
