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 replace the

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.

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

sets should not be used.

Connecting the water supply hose(Option)

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.

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.

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 automa-

tically 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 rear of the washer. Screw the

hose clockwise all the way in.

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.
