Wiring lnstructions
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric
shock providing an escape wire for the electric current.
The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which
includes an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal
of your mains plug.
The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly
installed and earthed.
*The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
•
Green and yellow
: Earth
•
Blue

•
AS the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings indentifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows.
•
Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal
in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth
symbol (
) or coloured green or green-and-
yellow.

•
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
* Consult a qualified electrician or service technician
if in doubt about any of these instructions.
The manufacturer of this washing machine will
not accept any liability for damage to persons or

WARNING
Ensure that the plug and power
cord are not damaged before use. If
you have any reason to remove the
moulded plug from this appliance,
immediately remove the fuse and
dispose of the plug.
Do not connect the plug to a mains
socket under any circumstances as
there is a danger of electric shock.
CIRCUITS
Your washing machine should be
operated on a separate circuit
from other appliances. Failure to
do this may cause the circuit
breaker to trip or the fuse to blow.
Connecting the water supply hose
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the
water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and
you do not wish to move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure
hose.
To connect the water supply hose:
1.
Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold
water supply hose and connect to the cold
water supply intake on the back of the
machine. Tighten by hand.
2.
Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink's cold water faucet and
tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the washing
machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating the hose, and retightening the fitting.
Option: 1.
Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and
connect to the red hot water supply intake on the back of the machine.
Tighten by hand.
2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink's hot
water faucet and tighten it by hand.
3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.
Positioning the drain hose
The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a sink
The drain hose must be placed at a height of
between 60 and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose
spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose
guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a
hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to
prevent the drain hose from moving.
ln a sink drain pipe branch
The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least
60 cm above the ground.
ln a drain pipe
Samsung recommends
that
you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60
cm and no longer than 90 cm.
