Installation requirements
To prevent a risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done by a qualified technician.
Power supply
• An individual 220-240 V~, 50 Hz
branch circuit that is dedicated to the
dishwasher.
• Power outlet with a maximum allowable
current of 16 A (maximum 11 A for the
dishwasher)
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Use only the power plug that comes
with the dishwasher.
• After installation is complete, make sure
the power plug is not bent or damaged.
Grounding
For permanent grounding, the dishwasher
must be properly grounded to a grounded
metal or permanent wiring system. The
grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and then connected
to the grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
WARNING
• Do not connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes. Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
• Do not modify the power plug of the
dishwasher. If the power plug does
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Water supply
• The water supply line must support
water pressures between 0.05 and
0.8 MPa.
• Water temperatures must be lower than
60 °C.
• The stopcock / supply valve with a 3/4”
male thread must be installed for the
water supply connection.
To reduce a risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn the water supply valve off when
the dishwasher is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water hose
fittings on a regular basis.
• To avoid leaks, seal the water line
connections and joints using Teflon tape
or sealing compound.
Aqua Stop
The Aqua Stop is an electrical component
that is designed to prevent water leaks. The
Aqua Stop is attached to the water hose
and automatically cuts off the water flow in
the event of damage to the hose.
CAUTION
• Handle the Aqua Stop with care.
• Do not kink or twist the water hose
connected to the Aqua Stop. If the Aqua
Stop is damaged, shut off the water taps
and unplug the power plug immediately.
Then, contact a local Samsung customer
centre or a qualified technician.
Drain
If you are using a drain system dedicated
to the dishwasher, connect the drain hose
to a drain system that is between 30 cm
and 70 cm off the ground. Connecting the
drain hose to a drain system more than
80 cm off the ground can cause the drained
water to flow backward.
Flooring
For safety, the dishwasher must be
installed on a solidly constructed floor.
Wooden floors may need to be reinforced
to minimise vibrations. Avoid installing
on carpet or soft tile. Carpeting and soft
tile may cause vibrations and may cause
your dishwasher to move slightly while
operating.
