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.

Connecting the water supply hose

NOTICE After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, then repeat the same steps. Use

the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big,

remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.

Note: The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old

hose-sets should not be used.

Drain hose connection procedures

1. Holding down the handle of the

drain hose connector, put in the

drain hose in desired direction.

: Fix the hose into the drainage hole, and give

the hose connector a push to the body to fix

the hose.

Positioning the drain hose

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

Over the edge of a wash basin.

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.

1. Remove the adaptor from the

water supply hose.

2. First, using a “+” type screw driver,

loosen the four screws on the adaptor.

Next, take the adaptor and turn part(b)

following the arrow until there is a 5mm

gap.

4. Connect the water supply hose to the

adaptor. 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.

3. Connect adaptor to the water tap by

tightening the screws firmly.

Then, turn part (b) following the arrow

and put(a) and (b) together.
