Installation requirements
To prevent a risk of re, electric shock, or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done by a qualied technician.
Power supply
• An individual 220-240 V, 50 Hz
branch circuit that is dedicated to the
dishwasher.
• Power outlet with a maximum allowable
current of 16 A (maximum 11 A for the
dishwasher)
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Use only the power plug that comes
with the dishwasher.
• After installation is complete, make sure
the power plug is not bent or damaged.
Grounding
For permanent grounding, the dishwasher
must be properly grounded to a grounded
metal or permanent wiring system. The
grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and then connected
to the grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
WARNING
• Do not connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes. Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
• Do not modify the power plug of the
dishwasher. If the power plug does
not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
Water supply
• The water supply line must support
water pressures between 0.05 and
0.8 MPa.
• Water temperatures must be lower than
60 °C.
• A stopcock with a ⁄” male thread must
be installed on the water tap.
To reduce a risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn the water tap off when the
dishwasher is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water hose
ttings on a regular basis.
• To stop any leak, seal the water line
connections and joints using Teon tape
or sealing compound.
Aqua Stop
The Aqua Stop is an electrical component
that is designed to prevent water leaks.
The Aqua Stop is attached to the water
hose and automatically cuts off the water
ow in the event of damage to the hose.
CAUTION
• Handle the Aqua Stop with care.
• Do not kink or twist the water hose
connected to the Aqua Stop. If the
Aqua Stop is damaged, shut off the
water taps and unplug the power plug
immediately. Then, contact a local
Samsung customer centre or a qualied
technician.

English 7
Drain
If you are using a drain system dedicated
to the dishwasher, connect the drain hose
to a drain system that is between 30 cm
and 70 cm off the ground. Connecting
the drain hose to a drain system more
than 80 cm off the ground can cause the
drained water to ow backward.
Flooring
For safety, the dishwasher must be
installed on a solidly constructed oor.
Wooden oors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibrations. Avoid installing
on carpet or soft tile. Carpeting and soft
tile may cause vibrations and may cause
your dishwasher to move slightly while
operating.
WARNING
Do not install the dishwasher on a poorly
supported structure.
Ambient temperature
Do not install the dishwasher in an area
exposed to freezing temperatures. The
dishwasher always retains some water in
the water valve, pump, and hose. If the
water freezes in the dishwasher or hoses,
it may damage the dishwasher and its
components.
Test run
After installing the dishwasher, run the
Quick cycle to make sure the dishwasher is
installed correctly.

Step-by-step installation
The installation procedure may differ depending on the model.
STEP 1 Select a location
A
B
Select a location that meets the following
conditions.
• The location must have a solid oor that
can support the weight of the dishwasher.
• The location must be near a sink with
easy access to the water supply, drain
system, and electrical outlet.
• The location must let you load dishes into
the dishwasher easily.
• The location must have sufcient space
for the dishwasher door to open easily
and provide enough space between the
dishwasher and the cabinet sides.
• The rear wall must be free of obstructions.
Installation in a new location
If you install the dishwasher in a new
location, follow these instructions before
installing the dishwasher.
1. Using a hole saw, cut a hole into the side
of the cabinet that holds the sink (A).
2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised
above the kitchen oor and is higher than
the connections on the dishwasher, make
a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in
the cabinet side (B).
NOTE
• If you are replacing an old dishwasher, check the existing connections for compatibility
with the new dishwasher and replace the connections as needed.
• You may need to cut a hole in the opposite side of the cabinet according to the location of
the electrical outlet.

STEP 2 To replace the rear foot
If the distance between the oor and the bottom of the worktop is more than 860 mm,
replace the rear foot with the sub foot provided before starting installation.
1. Lay the dishwasher on its back.
CAUTION
Do not lay down the dishwasher to a side.
Water may leak.

4. Find the sub foot in the installation
kit. Insert the sub foot into the hole of
the rear foot’s place, and then turn the
screwdriver clockwise to tighten the
sub foot.
5. When the sub foot is xed, turn the
front foot to align with the sub foot.
Fine-tuning will be done in STEP 5.
CAUTION

Do not drag the dishwasher on the oor.
This can damage the front and sub foot.
STEP 3 Check the water line
• The water line pressure must be between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa.
• Make sure that the water temperature does not exceed 60 °C. Hot water over 60 °C
may cause the dishwasher to malfunction.
• Make sure that the water supply valve is turned off before connecting the water supply
line to the dishwasher.
