Setting up your washing machine
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 65 cm. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose
clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose is attached at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, your washing machine must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wooden floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces
are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washing machine to move slightly during
the spin cycle.
WARNING: Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.
Surrounding temperature
Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing machine always
retains some water in the water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause damage to
the belts, the pump, and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires the following minimum clearances:
Sides 25 mm
Top 25 mm
Rear * 50 mm
Front 500 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have
an unobstructed air opening of at least 500 mm. Your washing machine by itself does not require a specific
air opening.
