Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
- AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP 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 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 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 fire, 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 fill the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Water taps must be within 4 ft. (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 water taps are easily accessible.
- Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
- Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
Installation
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 39 in. (990 mm) high. 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 floor. Wood floors 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 can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer.

STEP 1 Select a location
Location requirements:
- A solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
No direct sunlight - Adequate room for ventilation and wiring
- Ambient temperature always higher than the freezing point (32^ / 0^)
- Away from heat sources
STEP 2 Connect the water hose
CAUTION
Make sure to use new water hoses and that rubber gaskets (B) are inside the couplings (A) at both ends of the hoses. Water hoses without the gaskets may leak.
- Allow 6 in. (150 mm) of space between the back of the washer and the wall to prevent water hoses from being kinked. Kinked hoses may cause water leaks.
If there is a water leak, stop using the washer and contact a local Samsung service center. A water leak may cause electric shock.
- Do not stretch the water hoses by force. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer hose.
English22
- Attach the water hoses to the hot and cold water taps, and then hand tighten the water hose fittings until they are tight. Then, use pliers to tighten the fittings by an additional two-thirds of a turn. To avoid damaging the fittings, do not overtighten them.
- Pull the water hoses to check if they are firmly connected.
- Put the other ends of the hoses into a bucket, and then open the water taps for 10 - 15 seconds to remove impurities. When done, close the taps.
- Attach the water hoses to the hot and cold water inlets on the back of the washer, and then hand tighten the water hose fittings until they are tight. Then, use pliers to tighten the fittings by an additional two-thirds of a turn.
NOTE
If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap onto the hot water supply intake. When you do a wash, press Temp. to select Cold.
Installation
- Open the water taps, and check for leaks.
STEP 3 Connect the drain hose
To a Laundry Tub or Drain Pipe
- Check the height (A) of your drain system and make sure the minimum and maximum heights shown below are met.
| Minimum | 39 in. (99 cm) |
| Maximum | 96 in. (245 cm) |
NOTE
Make sure to measure the height from the floor where the washer is placed.
- Draining efficiency may be reduced if the drain system is at the maximum height.
To prevent the washer from siphoning water, do not use a drain system below the minimum height.
2. Attach the drain hose to the plastic hose guide (B).
English24
(^*) : Min. 6 in. (152 mm), Max. 8 in. (203 mm)
STEP 4 Level the washer
- Route the drain hose to the drain system.
CAUTION
If using a standpipe, make sure the standpipe and drain hose connection is not airtight.
If using a standpipe, make sure the drain hose is inserted at least 6 in. (152 mm) but no more than 8 in. (203 mm) into the standpipe.
4. Secure the drain hose with cable ties.
Over the edge of a wash basin
The drain hose must be placed no lower than 24 in. (60 cm) and no higher than 35 in. (90 cm) from the floor. To keep the spout of the drain hose bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the wall using a hook to ensure stable drainage.
- Slide the washer into position.
- Open the lid of the washer, and then pour the water into the tub until the blades of the pulsator on the bottom of the washer are about half covered.
- If the washer is level, the pulsator (A) will be positioned at the center of the tub as shown in the figure and the water will appear level in the tub. That is, the water will reach the same height on all sides of the tub.
Installation
- If the washer is not level, turn the appropriate leveling feet clockwise (B) to lower the washer, or counterclockwise (C) to raise the washer so that it is level.
- Once you have the washer leveled, push down on all 4 corners to ensure that all 4 feet are touching the floor. If the washer rocks when you push down on a corner, adjust the leveling foot at that corner so the foot is firmly on the floor.
NOTE
You can also level the washer by lining a level up with the seam that runs between the top of the washer and the body of the washer and checking if the washer is level on all 4 sides.
See the diagram above, left. After you have checked all 4 sides and leveled the washer, perform Step 5 above.

Laundry guidelines
STEP1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
- Care label: sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
Color: Separate whites from colors.
Size: Mixing different sized items together in the tub improves washing performance. - Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. For pure new woolen items, curtains, and silk items, check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing 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 tub.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
- If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub 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.
English28
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
- Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
- Cashmilon, large volume items, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes, lingerie, nylon stockings, and synthetic fabrics) may float during washing and not wash properly. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
- Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This can cause abnormal vibrations that could cause the washer to move and result in injury.
CAUTION
Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or microfiber quilts) in water before you run a cycle.
- Inflatable items may damage the laundry or the washer during the washing or spinning process.
- Regardless of the size, it is safer to wash blankets or quilts one item at a time. This will also get them cleaner. Two different-sized blankets in the same load can cause the load to become unbalanced, compromising the spinning process.
To put a blanket in your washer
Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it below the plastic ring (A) at the top of the tub.
Before you start
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
- To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly, let sit for a minute, and then brush off carefully.
- Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap. Soap can remain on the tub after washing.
- To prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars apply a little detergent, and then brush carefully.
CAUTION
Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.
- Any exposed part of the laundry can cause damage to the washer or the laundry itself or cause a water leak.
- Make sure the laundry does not extend past the plastic ring at the top of the tub.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Make sure the laundry does not extend past the plastic ring at the top of the tub. If it does, it can cause the washing machine to wash improperly or cause damage to the washer or the laundry itself or cause a water leak.
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 load capacity is 7.5 lb (3.5 kg) or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the "UB" information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry can reduce spinning performance.
English30
Detergent drawer guidelines
The washer provides a two-compartment dispenser for detergent and fabric softener. The bleach compartment is located on the left side of the tub.
A. Softener compartment: Add a recommended amount of fabric softener into the softener compartment.
B. Detergent compartment: Apply a recommended amount of liquid detergent into the compartment. To use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent container. The washer does not dispense the powdered detergent from the liquid detergent container.
C. Bleach compartment: Add bleach as instructed by the manufacturer.
NOTE
- Do not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment.
Use the softener compartment only for liquid fabric softeners.
CAUTION
- Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating.
- Do not put a tablet or capsule type detergents into the detergent drawer. Put them directly into the drum.
- Do not use a ball type detergent.
- To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents (fabric softener or detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.
Before you start
To add washing agents to the detergent drawer
- Open the lid.
- Slide open the detergent drawer.
- Add liquid laundry detergent to the liquid detergent container in the main wash compartment.
CAUTION
Make sure the liquid detergent container is inserted in the main wash compartment.
NOTE
-
Do not add powdered laundry detergent or other powdered laundry agents to the liquid laundry container.
To use powdered detergents, see To use powdered detergent on page 33. -

CAUTION
Powdered fabric softener is not recommended. Use liquid fabric softener only.
- Concentrated fabric softener must be diluted with water before being added.
- Do not add detergent to the softener compartment.
5. Close the detergent drawer.
NOTE
- Do not exceed the max line when adding cleaning agents.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the detergent compartment at the end of a cycle. - When adding color-safe bleach, we recommend that you use liquid detergent.
English32
To use powdered detergent
To use the bleach compartment
First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the detergent compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the detergent compartment according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

The use of symbols ensures consistency among garment manufacturers of domestic and imported items. Follow care label directions to optimize garment life and reduce laundering problems.

NOTE
This represents appropriate wash water temperatures for various items. The temperature range for Hot is 105^ - 125^ / 41^ - 52^ , for Warm 85^ - 105^ / 29^ - 41^ , and for Cold 60^ - 85^ / 16^ - 29^ . (Wash water temperature must be a minimum of 60^ / 16^ for detergent activation and effective cleaning.)
The clothes washer can not ensure these temperatures because the actual temperature of the water entering your washer depends on water heater settings and regional water supply temperatures. For example, cold water entering the home in the northern states during winter may be 40^ / 4^ which is too cold for effective cleaning. In this situation, you will need to adjust the water temperature by selecting a warm setting, adding some hot water to the MAX FILL line, or using your washer's heating option, if available.
