Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit
breaker is required
• Use an individual branch circuit specic
to the washing machine
To ensure proper grounding, the washing
machine comes with a power cord featuring
a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualied electrician or
serviceperson if you are not sure about the
grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does
not t the outlet, call a qualied electrician
to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes
with the washing machine.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washing
machine is between 50 kPa and 800 kPa.
Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause
the water valve not to close completely. Or,
it may take longer to ll the drum, causing
the washing machine to turn off. Water taps
must be within 120 cm from the rear of the
washing machine so that the provided inlet
hoses reach the washing machine.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washing
machine is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet
hose ttings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the
rst time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in
height of 60~90 cm. The drain hose must
be connected through the hose clip to the
standpipe, and the standpipe must fully
cover the drain hose.

Installation
Flooring
For best performance, the washing
machine must be installed on a solid oor.
Wood oors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced
loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
not a good resistance to vibrations and may
cause the washing machine to move slightly
during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a
platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in areas
where water may freeze as the washing
machine always retains some water in its
water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen
water left in the connection parts may
cause damage to belts, the pump, and other
components of the washing machine.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 25 mm Rear 50 mm
Top 25 mm Front 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer
are installed in the same location, the front
of the alcove or closet must have at least
a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your
washing machine alone does not require a
specic air opening.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
• Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
• Colour: Separate whites from colours.
• Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the drum improves the washing
performance.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using an Easy Iron option for pure, new
woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting
the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the drum.
WD80TA046BE_04200B-00(v1)_EN.indd 30 2020/9/3 9:44:38
English 31
Before you start
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers
should be closed and xed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the
strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres
may break through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become
caught around the door. Place them inside a ne laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use
the Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not
wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 40.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin
cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
• Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
• Make sure the laundry is fully inserted in the drum and not caught in the door.
• Do not slam the door. Close the door gently. Otherwise, the door may not be closed
properly.
STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool),
colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent,
which is designed for automatic washing machines.

Before you start
Before you start
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are
not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidied. This detergent may remain
after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL/DELICATES cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent.
If used with the WOOL/DELICATES cycle, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and
discolour the laundry.
Laundry capsules
To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.
1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the
empty drum towards the rear.
2. Put the laundry in the drum on top of
the capsule.
CAUTION
For cycles using cold water or cycles that complete in less than one hour, the capsule may not
dissolve completely.
