6_ Installing the washing machine
SELECTING A LOCATION
Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
• 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
wrench.
• Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak
surface, noise or vibration occurs.
(Only a 1 degrees angle is allowed.)
REMOVING THE SHIPPING BOLTS
Before using the washing machine, you must remove all of the shipping bolts from the back of
the unit.
To remove the bolts:
1. Loosen all bolts with the wrench before removing
them.
2. Take each bolt head and pull it through the wide
part of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4. Keep the shipping bolts for future use.

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.
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.

an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains
plug.
The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly
installed and earthed.
* The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
• Green and yellow : Earth
• Blue : Neutral
• Brown : Live
• AS the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
• Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal in the
plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the
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.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the washing
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
required.

Your new washing machine is equipped with Fuzzy Logic system, which not only sets the optimum level of
water and other parameters of washing, but also controls the washing process as well as makes necessary
corrections in order to provide better washing results. In the above- mentioned matter, the Fuzzy Logic
system has detected deviations in washing cycle such as: high quantity of detergent at the end of the
cycle, high vibration level while spinning, etc.You can adjust existing wash programs, i.e. change wash
temperature and spin speed. After detection of such abnormalities, the washing machine is suspending
the normal course of program in order to normalize these parameters and continue the cycle. Fuzzy logic
system makes 7 attempts to eliminate such deviations. If it is impossible to normalize the above mentioned
deviations by Fuzzy Logic system, you will see the corresponding indication on LED lamps. (see chapter
“Troubleshooting”) The operation of Washing machine that corresponds to above- mentioned scheme is
considered to be normal.
