safety information _5
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
• Do not wash items that have been washed, soaked, or treated with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They give off vapors that
could ignite or explode. Rinse by hand any material that has been exposed to cleaning
solvent or other flammable liquids or solids before putting in your washing machine. Be
sure that all traces of such liquids, solids, and fumes have been removed. Dangerous
substances include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, certain liquid
household cleaners and spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
• Do not put gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances
into the washing machine.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system–such
as your hot water heater -- that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or
more, turn on all hot water taps in your home, and let the water flow for several minutes
before using your washing machine. This will release any hydrogen gas build–up. Since
hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or light an open flame during this time.
Ventilate immediately without touching the power plug if there is a gas leak.
Unplug the power cord before servicing your washing machine.
Before each wash, empty the pockets of your laundry. Small, irregularly shaped hard
objects, such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips could damage your washing machine.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal metal.
Do not open the door of the washing machine if you can still see water. Check that the
water has drained before opening the door.
Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your washing machine yourself unless you fully
understand the recommended user–repair instructions and have the skills to carry them
out. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.
Connect the washing machine to the water mains using the new set of hoses. Do not reuse
the old set of hoses.
Water inlet hoses deteriorate over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, and leaks, and replace them as needed and at least every five years.
All packaging and shipping bolts must be removed before the appliance is used. Serious
damage may occur if they are not removed. See page 12 “Removing the shipping bolts”.
Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.
See “Washing for the first time”.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply and grounding
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest
Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner
to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
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:
• 220V~240V 50Hz 15 AMP 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 electrical 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 4 feet (122cm) 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 10 feet (305cm) 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.

01 SETTING UP
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 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 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.
Alcove or closet installation
To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:
Sides – 25 mm Rear – 51 mm
Top – 25 mm Front – 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 32 ˚F or 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

12_ setting up your new washing machine
STEP 2
Removing the shipping bolts
Before installing the washing machine, you must remove the five 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.
Packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic
bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.
Insert the cap fixer, (one of the accessories
in the vinyl pack), into the hole from which
you removed the power cord at the back
of the product.
