Installation
Water supply
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. Taps 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 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.
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.

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 left in
the connection parts may cause damage to
belts, the pump, and other components of
the washer.
