Alcove Or Closet Installation - Samsung WF457ARG Serie Manual Del Usuario

Installing your washer
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe height of 18 in (46 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 washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wooden
floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and
soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibrations and the tendency for your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or poorly supported structure.
WARNING
Surrounding temperature
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer always retain
some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen water in the lines can cause
damage to the belts, the pump and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

To operate safely and properly, your new washer requires the following minimum clearances:
Sides
Top
If both the washer and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have
an unobstructed air opening of at least 72 in² (465 cm²). Your washer by itself does not require a
specific air opening.
