Carefully remove all packaging materials from the Samsung WF395BTP-03144B-01 washing machine. Ensure that you check inside the drum for any additional components or accessories that may have been packed separately. Inspect the machine for any visible signs of damage during transit.
Select a location that is solid, level, and capable of supporting the weight of the washer when fully loaded. Ensure that there is adequate space around the washing machine for air circulation and to facilitate easy access to water and drain connections. The location should be protected from direct sunlight, freezing temperatures, and moisture.
Use a spirit level to check that the washing machine is perfectly level from side to side and front to back. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise as needed. Lock the feet in place by tightening the lock nuts against the base of the machine.
Attach the water inlet hoses to the corresponding water supply faucets. Ensure the hot and cold hoses are connected to the appropriate faucets. Tighten the connections to prevent leaks, but avoid overtightening as this may damage the hoses or fittings. Open the water supply faucets to check for leaks at the connections.
Securely insert the drain hose into a standpipe or sink. Ensure that the end of the hose is not submerged in water to prevent siphoning. Secure the hose to prevent it from moving during operation, which could cause water spillage.
Plug the washing machine into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet is easily accessible and that it matches the voltage requirements stated in the machine's specifications. Avoid using extension cords or adapters as they may not provide a stable power supply.
Before using the washing machine for the first time, run an initial test cycle without laundry. Add a small amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser and select a short wash cycle. This process will ensure that the washer is functioning properly and will help remove any residues left from the manufacturing process.
