• Individualbranchcircuitservingonlyyourwashingmachine

Yourwashingmachinemustbegrounded.Ifyourwashingmachinemalfunctionsorbreaks

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.

Drain

Samsungrecommendsastandpipeheightof18in(46cm).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 solidly constructed ﬂoor.

Woodoors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 structure.

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.

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 machine in the

future.

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

leveling 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.

Connecting the water supply hose

1. TaketheL-shapedarmtting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
