features of your new samsung

washing machine

Your new washing machine will change the way you feel about doing laundry. From

its super-size capacity to its energy efﬁciency, the Samsung washing machine has

all the features to turn a mundane chore into a pleasure.

• Baby Care System

Your Samsung washing machine includes wash programs that adds protection to the clothing

of children with sensitive skin.

machine washable wool products.

Fabrics should be washed according to the instructions on the garment label as speciﬁed by

Woolmark and Samsung.

• Delay End

Delay a cycle for up to 19 hours in one-hour increments and increase the convenience of

using your washing machine especially when you have to go out.

• Quick Wash

No time to lose! Less than 30 minutes wash will give you time to run out before it’s too late.

Our 29 minute Quick Wash program can be the solution to your busy life. Now you can wash

your favourite clothes in only 29 minutes!

• Delicates & Hand Wash Program

Special care can be determined by the appropriate temperature, the gentle wash action and

the appropriate amount of water.

• Ceramic Heater for Durability & Energy Saving (selected models)

Our truly innovative Ceramic Heater is twice as durable as regular heaters.

That saves you money on repairs. Plus, it eliminates the scale of hard water and save energy.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding

must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest

Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner

to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Never use an extension cord.

Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

• AC 220-240V / 50Hz fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine

Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks

down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for

the electric current.

Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in

a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.

Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not ﬁt

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will ﬁll properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water

pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut

off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to ﬁll than what the controls allow,

resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A ﬁll-time limit, designed to prevent overﬂows/

ﬂooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water taps must be within 4 feet (122cm) of the back of your washing machine for the

provided inlet hoses provided to reach your washing machine.

Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305cm) long.

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

• Making water taps easily accessible.

• Turning off taps when the washing machine is not in use.

• Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose ﬁttings.

Before using your washing machine for the ﬁrst time, check all connections at the water

valve and taps for leaks.

WARNING

WF8804EPA-02552Q_EN.indd 14 2010-8-10 10:30:17

setting up your new washing machine _15

01 SETTING UP

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.

Wood ﬂoors 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.

Surrounding temperature

Do not install your washing machine in areas where water may freeze, since your washing

machine always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water in

the lines can cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washing machine requires minimum clearances of:

Sides – 25 mm Rear – 51 mm

Top – 25 mm Front – 465 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet

must have at least 465 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not

require a speciﬁc air opening.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

STEP 1

Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, make sure the location:

• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or ﬂooring that may obstruct ventilation

• Is away from direct sunlight

• Has adequate ventilation

• Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 0 ˚C)

• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas

• Has enough space so that the washing machine doesn’t stand on its power cord

WF8804EPA-02552Q_EN.indd 15 2010-8-10 10:30:17

16_ setting up your new washing machine

STEP 2

Removing the shipping bolts

Before installing the washing machine, you must remove all shipping bolts from the back of the

unit.

1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.

2. Hold the bolt with the spanner and pull it through the wide

section of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Store the shipping bolts away safely in case you have to move the washing machine in the

future.

Packaging materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packaging material (plastic

bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.

Connecting the water and drain

Connecting the water supply hose

1. Take the L-shaped arm ﬁtting for the cold water

supply hose and connect it to the cold water

supply intake on the back of the machine.

Tighten by hand.

The water supply hose must be connected

to the washing machine at one end and to

the water tap at the other. Do not stretch the

water supply hose. If the hose is too short,

replace the hose with a longer, high pressure

hose.

2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply

hose to your sink’s cold water tap and tighten

it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the

water supply hose at the washing machine end

by loosening the ﬁtting, rotating the hose, and

retightening the ﬁtting.

For selected models with an additional hot water intake:

1. Take the red L-shaped arm ﬁtting for the hot water supply hose and connect it to the hot

water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.

2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink’s hot water tap and tighten

it by hand.

3. Use a Y-piece if you only want to use cold water.

Connecting the drain hose

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

1. Over the edge of a wash basin: The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60

and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure

the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose

from moving.

2. ln a sink drain pipe branch: The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that

the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.

3. ln a drain pipe: We recommend using a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than

60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.

The standpipe drain requires;

• minimum diameter 5 cm.

• minimum carry-away capacity 60 liter per minute.

STEP 5

Powering your washing machine

Plug the power cord into a wall sockets, an AC 220-240V / 50Hz approved electrical outlet

protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. (For more information on electrical and grounding

requirements, see page 14.)
