Installation Installation Water supply 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. Taps 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 taps 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. 22 English WV60M9900A-03768A-00_EN.indd 22 2017-01-13 4:35:36
