A-2 SAMSUNG Clothes Washer Owner’s Instructions

BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS:

ELECTRICAL

120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.

Your Washer is equipped with a power cord.

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

GROUNDING

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly

installed and grounded outlet.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a

risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you

are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify

the plug provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR

HOT WATER PIPES.

WATER

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 – 120 psi is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut off

completely. Or it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, resulting in your

Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal hose becoming loose

and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses provided

with your Washer.

NOTE:

Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that are

further away from the back of your Washer.

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

Have water faucets easily accessible

Turn off faucets when Washer is not in use.

Periodically check there is no leakage at water inlet hose fittings.

WARNING - CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
