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.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user
repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
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 A 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
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 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.
WW22N6850QX_DC68-03645B-02-v1_EN.indd 18 2019/3/1 16:08:30

Installation
English 19
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.
Alcove or closet installation
