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 oor. Wood oors
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.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 1 in. (25 mm)
Top 17 in. (432 mm)
Rear 5.9 in. (150 mm)
Front 2 in. (51 mm)
If both the washer and a dryer are
installed in the same location, the front of
the alcove or closet must have at least a
72 in² (465 cm²) unobstructed air opening.
Your washer alone does not require a
specic air opening.
