Installation requirements

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 o. 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 o 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.

Untitled-18 12 5/24/2016 4:06:18 PM

English - 13

INSTALLATION

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.

Flooring

For best performance, the washing machine must be installed on a solid ﬂoor. Wood ﬂoors may

need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile

surfaces are not a good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washing machine to move

slightly during the spin cycle.

CAUTION

Do NOT install the washing machine on a platform or a poorly supported structure.

Water temperature

Do not install the washing machine in areas where water may freeze as the washing machine

always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the

connection parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washing

machine.

Alcove or closet installation

Minimum clearance for stable operation:

Sides 25 mm Rear 50 mm

Top 25 mm Front 550 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or

closet must have at least a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does

not require a speciﬁc air opening.

Stop using the washing machine if there is a water leak, and contact a local Samsung

service centre. Otherwise, this may cause electric shock.

CAUTION

Do not stretch the water supply hose by force. If the hose is too short, replace the hose with

a longer, high-pressure hose.

• After connecting the water supply hose to the adaptor, check if it is connected properly

by pulling the water supply hose downwards.

• Use a popular type of water taps. If the tap is square-shaped or too big, remove the

spacer ring before inserting the tap into the adaptor.

STEP 5 - Position the drain hose

The drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Over the edge of a wash basin

The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60 cm and

90 cm (*) from the ﬂoor. To keep the spout of the drain hose bent,

use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the

wall using a hook to ensure stable drainage.

ln a sink drain pipe

The drain pipe must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above

the ﬂoor.

ln a drain pipe

The drain pipe should be between 60 cm and 90 cm high (*). It is

advisable to use a 65 cm high vertical pipe. Make sure the drain

hose is connected to the stand pipe at a slant.

Drain standpipe requirements:

• Minimum diameter of 5 cm

• Minimum carry-away capacity of 60 litres per minute

BEFORE YOU START

Laundry guidelines

STEP 1 - Sort

Sort the laundry according to these criteria:

• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed ﬁbres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.

• Colour: Separate whites from colours.

• Size: Mixing dierent-sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.

• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using an Easy Iron option for pure, new woollen

items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.

Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting

the wash.

STEP 2 - Empty pockets

Empty all the pockets of your laundry items

• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as

well as the drum.

Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out

• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should

be closed and ﬁxed with a string.

• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the

strings before starting the wash.

STEP 3 - Use a laundry net

• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may

break through and tear other laundry items.

• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught

around the door. Place them inside a ﬁne laundry net.

• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations

that could move the washing machine and result in injury.

STEP 4 - Prewash (if necessary)

Select the Prewash option for the selected course if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use the

Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum.

STEP 5 - Determine the load capacity

Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash

properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 25.

When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin

eciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum

spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.

CAUTION

If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UE” error code is displayed, redistribute the load.

Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.

STEP 6 - Apply a proper detergent type

The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool),

colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is

designed for automatic washing machines.

• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the

laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are

not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.

• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidiﬁed. This detergent may remain

after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

CAUTION

When washing wool using the wool course, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with

the Wool course, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.
