Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other ammable or explosive substances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used
near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the washing or drying compartment.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or
explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a washer or combination
washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow
from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an
open ame during this time.

Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit specic to the washer.
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
A proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). 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. Faucets 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 faucets 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 in height of 18 in (46 cm). 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 are not a 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.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 1 in. (25 mm)
Top 17 in. (432 mm)
Rear 5.9 in. (150 mm)
Front 2 in. (51 mm)
If both the washer and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or
closet must have at least a 72 in² (465 cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone
does not require a specic air opening.
