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
service person 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 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 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.
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.
