A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet," below)

•

Away from direct sunlight.

•

Adequate ventilation

•

Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C

•

Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas

Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.

Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.

Adjusting the leveling feet

If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the feet):

1.

Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired height.

2.

Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the supplied wrench.

•

Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs.

Pull down part (c) of the water supply hose.

When you release part (c) the hose automatically connects to the adaptor making a ’click’ sound.

5. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the inlet water valve at the top of the washer.

Screw the hose clockwise all the way in.

•

If the water tap has a screw type faucet, connect the water supply hose to the tap as shown.

Installing the Washing Machine

Connecting the water supply hose

The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and you do not wish to move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

To connect the water supply hose:

1.

Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply hose and connect to the cold water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2.

Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink's cold water faucet and tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the washing machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating the hose, and retightening the fitting.

Option: 1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect to the red hot water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink's hot water faucet and tighten it by hand.

3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

Note:

The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be used.

Positioning the drain hose

The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:

Over the edge of a sink

The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60 and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.

ln a sink drain pipe branch

The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that the end of the hose is at least

60 cm above the ground.

ln a drain pipe

Samsung recommends that you use a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than 60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.
