Installation Installation • Use only the power cord that comes with the washer. • Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes. • Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock. • To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 - Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical service for your washer. Water supply Proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). 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. Faucets 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 faucets 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. 16 English 8',"7 JOEE
