Installation
English 17
• 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.
