Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in. (460 mm) 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 can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other
components of the washer.
Clearance requirement
This clearance requirement is applicable for washers only.
NOTE
• For dryer’s clearance requirement, see the dryer’s user manual.
• If the washer and dryer have different clearance requirements, use the one with the larger value.
Alcove or closet installations
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides Top Rear Front
1 in. (25 mm) 1 in. (25 mm) 2 in. (50 mm) 1 in. (25 mm)
If both the washer and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or closet must have
two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in.
