Drain; Flooring; Surrounding Temperature; Alcove Or Closet Installation - Samsung WF431ABP User Manual

Drain

Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 46cm. 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 fl oor.
Wood fl oors 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
Top – 432 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet
must have at least 465 cm² unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not
require a specifi c 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 fl ooring that may obstruct ventilation
• Is away from direct sunlight
• Has adequate ventilation
• Will not be freezing (below 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
