NOTE
- Bolt caps: The provided number (3 to 6) of bolt caps depends on the model.
• Hot water hose: Applicable models only. - Liquid detergent guide: Applicable models only.
Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
- AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required.
- Use an individual branch circuit specific to the washing machine.
To ensure proper grounding, the washing machine comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure about the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

WARNING
- Do NOT use an extension cord.
- Use only the power cord that comes with the washing machine.
- Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
- Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washing machine is between 50 kPa and 800 kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washing machine to turn off. Water taps must be within 120 cm from the rear of the washing machine so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washing machine.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
- Make sure water taps are easily accessible.
- Turn off the taps when the washing machine is not in use.
- Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.

CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 60-90 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 washing machine must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors 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 washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in areas where water may freeze as the washing machine 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 washing machine.
Alcove installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
| Sides 25 mm | |
| Top 25 mm | |
| Rear 50 mm | |
| Front 550 mm |
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove must have at least a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specific air opening.
Step-by-step installation
STEP 1 Select a location
Location requirements:
- Solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
• Away from direct sunlight - Adequate room for ventilation and wiring
- The ambient temperature is always higher than the freezing point (0 °C)

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
- Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours. - Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
- Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
- Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
- If trousers or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
- Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
- Brassieres (machine washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
- Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
- Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. When selecting the Prewash option, make sure to put powder-type detergent into the main wash compartment.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 37.

NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.

CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the "Ub" information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Make sure to use the laundry detergent that is designed for automatic washing machines.

NOTE
- Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
- Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL/DELICATES cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with the WOOL/DELICATES cycle, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.
Laundry capsules
To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.
