Installation Requirements - Samsung WW22K6800A Série Manuel D'utilisation

Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit specific to the washer.
To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong
grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure about the
grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to
install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the washer.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions
and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical
service for your washer.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Water
pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or,
it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Faucets must be within
4 feet (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach the
washer.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure faucets are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and
taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 18 in (46 cm). The drain hose must be
connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the
drain hose.
