Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation of the washer and to
prevent accidents when doing laundry.
WARNING
Control board, heat sink, motor, inlet valve, and pump are intentionally not grounded and

Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 120 V / 60 Hz fuse or circuit breaker
is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit.
Connect only the washer to the circuit.
• To ensure proper grounding, the washer
comes with a power cord featuring a
three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualied electrician or
service person if you are not sure about
the grounding.
• Do not modify the provided plug. If it
does not t the outlet, call a qualied
electrician to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes
with the washer.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of re,
electrical shock, or personal injury, all
wiring and grounding must be done in
accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the
U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes
and ordinances. It is your responsibility
to provide adequate electrical service
for your washer.

Water supply
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa)
may cause the water valve not to close
completely. Or, it may take longer to ll
the drum, causing the washer to turn
off. Taps must be within 4 feet (122 cm)
from the rear of the washer so that the
provided inlet hoses reach the washer. To
reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure taps are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is
not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet
hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the rst time,
check all connections at the water valve
and taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in
(46 cm) high. The drain hose must be
connected through the hose clip to the
standpipe, and the standpipe must fully
cover the drain hose.
Flooring
For best performance, the washer must
be installed on a solid oor. Wood oors
may need to be reinforced to minimize
vibration and/or unbalanced loads.
Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not
provide good resistance to vibrations and
may cause the washer to move slightly
during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washer on a platform or
a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washer in areas where
water may freeze as the washer always
retains some water in its water valves,
pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in
the connection parts may cause damage to
belts, the pump, and other components of
the washer.
