Samsungrecommendsastandpipeheightof18in(46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.

Forbestperformance,yourwashingmachinemustbeinstalledonasolidlyconstructedoor.
Woodoorsmayneedtobereinforcedtominimizevibration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.
Never install your washing machine on a platform or poorly supported structure.
