machine
Be sure to have your installer follow these instructions closely so that\
 your new 
washing machine works properly and so that you’re not at risk of inju\
ry when doing 
laundry.
CHECKING	THE	PARTS
Carefully unpack your washing machine, and make sure you’ve received all of the parts shown below. 
If your washing machine was damaged during shipping, or if you do not ha\
ve all of the parts, contact 
Samsung Customer Service or your Samsung dealer.

MEETING	INSTALLATION	REQUIREMENTS
Electrical	supply	and	grounding
Never use an extension cord. 
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
•	AC 220-240V / 50Hz fuse or circuit breaker
•	Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine
Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks 
down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for 
the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in 
a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is 
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit 
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Water	Supply
Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water 
pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut 
off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fill than what the controls allow, 
resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/
flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)
The water taps must be within 120cm of the back of your washing machine \
for the provided inlet 
hoses provided to reach your washing machine.
Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 305 cm long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
•	 Making	water	taps	easily	accessible.
•	 Turning	off	taps	when	the	washing	machine	is	not	in	use.
•	 Periodically	checking	for	leaks	at	water	inlet	hose	fittings.
Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections\
 at the water 
valve and taps for leaks.WARNING

01	SETTING	UP
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65cm. The drain hose must be routed through 
the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough\
 to accept the outside 
diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, your washing machine must be installed on a solidl\
y constructed floor. 
Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting 
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing 
machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported str\
ucture.
Surrounding	temperature
Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing 
machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in 
the lines can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components. 
Alcove	or	closet	installation
To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:
Sides – 25 mmRear – 50 mm
Top – 25 mmFront – 465 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet 
must have at least 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not 
require a specific air opening.
INSTALLING	YOUR	WASHING	MACHINE
STEP 1
Selecting	a	location
Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:
•	 Has	a	hard,	level	surface	without	carpeting	or	flooring	that	may	obstruct	ventilation
•	 Is	away	from	direct	sunlight
•	 Has	adequate	ventilation
•	 Will	not	be	freezing	(below	0	˚C)
•	 Is	away	from	heat	sources	such	as	oil	or	gas
•	 Has	enough	space	so	that	the	washing	machine	doesn’t	stand	on	its	power	cord

STEP 2
Removing	the	shipping	bolts
Before installing the washing machine, you must remove all shipping bolts from the back of the 
unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Hold the bolt with the spanner and pull it through the wide 
section of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4. Store the shipping bolts away safely in case you have to move the washing ma\
chine in the 
future.
Packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic 
bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.

STEP 3
Adjusting	the	Levelling	feet
When installing your washing machine, ensure that the power plug, the water supply and 
the drain are easily accessible.
1. Slide the washing machine into position.
2. Level your washing 
machine by turning the 
levelling feet in and out as 
necessary by hand. 
3. When your washing machine is level, tighten the nuts using 
the wrench supplied with your washing machine.
STEP 4
Connecting	the	water	and	drain
Connecting the water supply hose
1. Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water 
supply hose and connect it to the cold water 
supply intake on the back of the machine. 
Tighten by hand.
The water supply hose must be connected to 
the washing machine at one end and to the 
water tap at the other. Do not stretch the water 
supply hose. If the hose is too short, replace 
the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.
2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply 
hose to your sink’s cold water tap 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.
For	selected	models	with	an	additional	hot	water	
intake:
1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect it t\
o the 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 tap and tighten 
it by hand.
3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

Connecting the water supply hose
1. Remove the adaptor from the water supply hose.
2. First, using a ‘+’ type screwdriver, loosen the four screws 
on the adaptor. Next, take the adaptor and turn part (2) 
following the arrow until there is a 5 mm gap. 
3. Connect the adaptor to the water tap by tightening the 
screws firmly while lifting the adaptor upwards.  
Turn part (2) following the arrow and connect (1) and (2).
4. Connect the water supply hose to the adaptor. 
When you release part (3), the hose automatically 
connects to the adaptor making a ‘click’ sound.
After you have connected the water supply 
hose to the adaptor, ensure that it is connected 
correctly by pulling the water supply hose 
downwards.
5. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet 
water valve at the rear of the washing machine. Screw the

from the water valve, tap or adaptor. If there is a water 
leaks, repeat the previous steps.
Do not use your washing machine if there is a water leak. 
This may cause electric shock or injury.
•	If the water tap has a screw type tap, connect the water 
supply hose to the tap as shown.
Use the most conventional type of tap for the water supply. In case the \
tap is square or too 
big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the tap into the adaptor.
Connecting the Aqua Hose (Selected models)
The Aqua Hose was invented for perfect leakage protection.
It is attached to the water supply hose and automatically cuts 
off the water flow if the hose is damaged. It also displays a 
warning indicator.

Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1. Over the edge of a wash basin: 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. S\
ecure 
the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string t\
o prevent the drain hose 
from moving.
2. 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.
3. ln a drain pipe: We recommend using a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 
60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.
The standpipe drain requires;
•	 minimum	diameter	5	cm.
•	 minimum	carry-away	capacity	60	liter	per	minute.
STEP 5
Powering	your	washing	machine
Plug the power cord into a wall sockets, an AC 220-240V / 50Hz approved electrical outlet 
protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. (For more information on electrical and grounding 
requirements, see page 14.)
