Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
•
AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is
required
•
Use an individual branch circuit speci
fi
c 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 quali
fi
ed electrician or serviceperson
if you are not sure about the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not
fi
t
the outlet, call a quali
fi
ed 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 1000 kPa. Water pressure
less than 50 kPa may cause the water valve not to
close completely. Or, it may take longer to
fi
ll the
drum, causing the washing machine to turn off.
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 off the taps when the washing machine
is not in use.
•
Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose
fi
ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the
fi
rst
time, check all connections at the water valve and
taps for any leaks.
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
fl
oor. Wood
fl
oors 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.
