appliance while it is in use.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs made by inexperienced or

unqualiﬁed persons may cause injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance

necessary.

If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its

service agent or a similar qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

This appliance should only be serviced by an authorized service center, and only genuine

spare parts should be used.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or inﬁrm persons unless they

8_ Installing the washing machine

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE (OPTION)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Installing the washing machine _9

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.

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.

letter L or coloured red.

* Consult a qualiﬁed electrician or service technician if in

doubt about any of these instructions.

The manufacturer of this washing machine will not accept

any liability for damage to persons or material for non

observance of these requirements.

machine and if the mains lead of this appliance is damaged,

it must only be replaced by qualiﬁed service personnel

approved by the manufacturer because special tools are
