How to turn on and use a Samsung washing machine

The Samsung washing machine is considered one of the most reliable and convenient.

It is not difficult to master the operation of a household appliance if you carefully read the instructions and understand the rules. Firstly, the new unit must be properly prepared for operation.

Further, in order to successfully use the machine, it is recommended to choose the correct washing mode, observe loading standards, and fulfill all care requirements after finishing the operation of the device.

Let's take a closer look at how to properly use a Samsung washing machine.

Life time

The service life of Samsung washing machines is about 8-10 years, but these data are averaged.
How long the device will work is influenced by the activity of its operation, the quality of the detergents used, the degree of water hardness, assembly features, and the absence of manufacturing defects.

The features of using the device are important. If a person regularly violates the rules of the instructions and overloads the machine, then it will fail faster.

In accordance with GOST 8051-83 standards, the average service life of washing machines must be at least 15 years or 700 hours of operation. However, in fact, there are very few such devices on the market.

Cooking thing

Before loading the down jacket into the drum, you should prepare it for washing. If you simply put an item in the machine, you can damage the fittings, not remove stains completely, and even ruin your favorite item. To prevent this from happening, remember a few important rules:

first remove all detachable elements (belt, edges, hood, decor);
Pre-treat heavy stains with stain remover or laundry soap, use a soft brush and leave for 15-20 minutes;
fasten all zippers, buttons and rivets;
We check pockets for forgotten items;
seal the fittings with tape or cling film;
turn the jacket inside out;
place the down jacket in a protective bag (an old duvet cover will do).

Before washing in the machine, stubborn stains should be rubbed with laundry soap and left to “soak” for 15-20 minutes.

Having fulfilled all the conditions, you don’t have to worry about the final result - the down jacket is washed completely, without externally suffering. It is important not to save money and not wash jackets with other things. It is better to load the product “alone”, thereby ensuring it is fully washed, rinsed and spun.

Models

WW6600R

WW6600R is one of the cheapest models with a maximum load of 7 kg. Thanks to the Bixby feature, the consumer has the ability to control the device remotely. There is a built-in quick wash mode that will complete the entire process in 49 minutes. Thanks to the vortex structure of the Swirl+ drum, the number of revolutions increases. A special AquaProtect sensor is built in, which will prevent water leakage. The Eco Drum function helps eliminate various unpleasant odors that can be caused by dirt or bacteria. In case of severe contamination, the user will see a corresponding message on the electronic display.

Another equally important technology is the steam cleaning system. It ends up at the bottom of the drum where the clothes are. Thanks to this, impurities are cleaned and substances that can cause allergies are removed.

To ensure that detergent is rinsed out more efficiently after washing, the Super Rinse+ mode is provided.

Thanks to this, impurities are cleaned and substances that can cause allergies are removed. To ensure that the detergent is rinsed out more efficiently after washing, the Super Rinse+ mode is provided.

To be calm about the safety of this machine, the manufacturer has built in surge protection and the ability to quickly diagnose. Level A washing quality class, the presence of an inverter quiet motor, which during operation produces 53 dB during washing and 74 dB during spinning. Operating modes include delicate wash, super rinse+, steam, economical Eco, washing synthetics, wool, cotton and many other types of fabric. The volume of water consumed per cycle is 42 liters, depth – 45 cm, weight – 58 kg. The electronic display has built-in LED backlighting. Electricity consumption – 0.91 kW/h, energy efficiency class – A.

WD5500K

WD5500K is a mid-price segment model with a maximum load of 8 kg. Its distinctive feature is its unusual metallic color and narrow shape, which allows this model to be placed in small openings where other cars cannot fit. Another feature is the presence of Air Wash technology. Its purpose is to disinfect clothes and linens using hot air streams, thereby giving them a smell of freshness and disinfecting them from bacteria. The fight against germs and allergens is carried out by a function called Hygiene Steam, which works by delivering steam to the clothes from the bottom compartment of the drum.

The basis of all work is a powerful inverter motor, which saves energy and at the same time operates quite quietly. The difference from the previous model is the presence of such a function as VRT Plus. It significantly reduces noise and vibration levels even when operating at the highest drum speeds. In addition, a special vibration sensor is built in, which balances the entire structure. This washing machine uses a combination of quick wash and dry modes. The whole process takes 59 minutes, after which you will receive clean clothes that are completely ready for ironing. If you just want to dry your clothes, then the load should not exceed 5 kg.

If we talk about characteristics, then the noise level is 56 dB for washing, 62 dB for drying and 75 dB for spinning.

WW6800M

WW6800M is one of the most expensive and efficient washing machines from Samsung. This model has improved characteristics when compared with previous copies. The main feature is the presence of QuickDrive technology, which is aimed at reducing washing time and reducing energy consumption. There is also a built-in AddWash function, which allows you to place clothes in the drum in cases where you forgot to do this in advance. It is worth saying that you can take advantage of this opportunity even after the wash has started. This model has a set of functions for diagnostics and control over the quality of work.

Thanks to the QuickDrive and Super Speed functions, washing time can reach up to 39 minutes. It should be noted that this model has a whole system for cleaning clothes and washing machine components. There are also functions to reduce noise and vibration during operation. The load is 9 kg, energy efficiency and washing quality class is A.

We carefully select the program

Modern Samsung models offer a dozen different washing programs. With one button you can quickly and effortlessly select the optimal spin and temperature for your laundry, without worrying about the result. But in order to choose the right mode, you need to understand the characteristics of each.

Cotton. One of the longest and highest temperature programs designed for dense and natural materials.
Synthetics. It is selected for fabrics that shed and easily deform, so the temperature is set to medium and the spin to minimum.
Kids clothes. Characterized by high temperature and copious rinsing.

The “Children’s” program is suitable not only for washing children’s clothes, but also for caring for the things of allergy sufferers.

Wool. Low temperature and minimal spin - what is required for woolen products.
Intense. Helps get rid of old and difficult to remove stains.
Fast 29. Lasts only 30 minutes, so it does not cope with heavy soiling, but only refreshes things.
Spin. Allows you to repeat the spinning of the drum and dry your clothes more quickly.
Economical. Due to the lower temperature and the elimination of rinsing, the machine uses less resources.
Preliminary. First, things are soaked, and then the standard cycle automatically starts.
Rinse plus spin. The mode offers you to quickly refresh things, which will take no more than 20 minutes.
Jeans. The program is designed for denim and prevents jeans from losing color.
Delicate. A universal program suitable for all thin and fragile fabrics.
Outerwear. Special program for washing down jackets, jackets and sports items.

Detailed characteristics of the modes available on the Samsung washing machine are given in the factory instructions of the machine.

More expensive washing machines may have additional functionality. Thus, many cars have an “Active Sports” mode, during which things are cleaned of sweat, grass, soil and other typical “sports” contaminants. The “Hygiene” program is aimed at fighting fat and blood, and the “Kitchen” program is good against oil, berries and fish . For washing paints, felt-tip pens and ink, there is a “Moveable children” key.

Common breakdowns

Most often, the following elements fail in Samsung washing machines:

heating element. If it burns out, it needs to be replaced.
Drive belt. In the vast majority of cases, it simply wears out during use. The belt cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
Inlet valves. If they are clogged, they need to be cleaned.
Drain pump, seals and bearings. Most often, repairs come down to replacing parts.

This section will tell you about repairing Samsung washing machines.

Error codes

If any element fails, the smart technology independently determines this and issues a characteristic error code. The most common of them:

1E – failure of the pressure switch;
3E, 3E1 – the tachometer is broken;
4E, 4E1 – there is no water in the tank;
5E – problem in the drainage system;
8E – motor failure;
9E1, Uc - power problems;
CE – water overheating;
HE, HE1, HE2 – failure of the heating element;
LE – water leak;
OE – tank is full of water;
tE1, tE2, tE3 – thermal sensor failure;
Sud – excess foam.

All error codes are discussed in this section.

Washing modes

Samsung washing machines supplied to the Russian market have a Russian-language control panel. The main technology programs include:

"Cotton";
"Synthetics";
"Kids' things";

"Wool";
"Fast"
"Intense."

The Eco Bubble mode allows you to effectively clean things without harming the fabric at low water temperatures. A special generator mixes detergent with water and air bubbles, which literally push dirt out of the structure of the material.

Are you unplugging your washing machine?

Among the additional functions of Samsung washing machines it is worth noting:

delayed start;

drum self-cleaning;

child locking of the panel.

I work in the household appliance repair industry. Extensive experience in restoring washing machines and dishwashers.

Some models have a Smart Control option, which allows you to control the washing process via a smartphone.

How to disable Indesit?

The methods of resetting the settings discussed above are universal. But there are special cases characteristic of certain models. Some are not equipped with a “start/pause” button; for others, the developers have come up with a special algorithm of actions. Let's figure out how to act as owners of SMA "Indesit".

To turn on the washing, turn the control toggle switch and, having set the appropriate mode, press the button with a diamond. Procedure:

Click on the diamond. Don't let go for 5-6 seconds.
If the machine is working properly, the current settings will be reset.
On outdated versions, you should perform one more action - set the toggle switch to neutral.

Features of washing a jacket with headphones

The lucky owners of a beautiful stylish jacket with a built-in gadget will sooner or later have to face the issue of restoring the purity of the item.

Note! You can wash a jacket with built-in headphones!

Responsible manufacturers guarantee the performance of equipment after washing. Underground factories will not give such a guarantee, and the likelihood that the headphones will quickly become just a decorative element is high.

The main points of preparing for washing and choosing a washing machine program are similar to those for other jackets. But there are several specific nuances:

Do not squeeze or twist the product too hard: you can damage the wires;
if ironing is required, it is better to avoid areas with wires;
the iron should not be hot;
You should wait until it is completely dry before inserting the headphones into the device jack.

What is the Eco Bubble function?

All housewives know that washing clothes with rich foam is much easier than with a solution of washing powder. This feature was adopted by engineers. The new machine has a special compartment (foam generator), in which water, washing powder and air are thoroughly mixed. The foam formed in it enters the tank with the laundry and gently washes it. It penetrates into fibers 40 times faster than any powder solution. This new feature is called “Eco Bubble”. In addition to improving the quality of washing, it also allows you to save a lot on electricity. The fact is that when using foam, the temperature of the water in the tank can be significantly reduced. Why won't this affect the quality of the wash?

Any Samsung model washes clothes efficiently. The Eco Bubble washing machine also has the advantage that when using it, the procedure for rinsing clothes is greatly simplified. After all, it is much easier to remove foam from it than powder.

Do I need to add detergent?

There are several recommendations to follow when choosing a detergent for the first launch:

If ordinary washing powder is poured into the powder receptacle, it is important that the package is marked “automatic”.
The thing is that hand washing powders are characterized by increased foaming, which can lead to damage to the household appliance.
As an option, you can use a special product that effectively removes technical dirt and foreign odors - Helfer Start HLR0054.
For the first launch, one package of this tool is enough. It is poured into the powder receptacle in the main wash compartment.

For the first test wash, use a minimum amount of regular washing powder (less than half the norm).

Rules for caring for a specific down jacket

There is no rush to machine wash - first you need to understand whether the down jacket can withstand the test of an automatic machine. Not all jackets can be washed in a washing machine; moreover, some jacket models do not tolerate moisture at all. In order not to risk the product, you should carefully study the factory label, on which the manufacturer indicates the nuances of caring for a specific item.

Permission to machine wash is given by the presence on the tag of the appropriate inscription or the image of a basin with water. If the basin is present, but only with a hand placed in it, then you cannot put the item in the machine - only manual washing is allowed. When there is a mark “dry clean only” or a basin with a cross through it, it is prohibited to wet the product. It is better to take such a down jacket to the dry cleaner.

Before washing, carefully study the label of the down jacket - if there is an icon of a crossed out basin or with a lowered hand, then you should refuse to wash it in the machine!

Factory recommendations cannot be ignored. This is the only way the down jacket will last a long time and will not lose its original appearance and ability to retain heat. You should also focus on the current state of the product. If the jacket is clearly “bad”, the seams are coming apart, feathers and fluff are coming out, then it is strongly not recommended to put the item in the washing machine. Otherwise, rotating the drum will aggravate the problem and completely ruin the down jacket.

Testing Linear Components

The service test of a Samsung machine is conventionally divided into two stages, and the first of them is checking the linear components of the machine. It allows you to clearly verify the sufficient performance of linear components, such as:

The button responsible for selecting the water temperature turns on the valve testing mode. By pressing it, you can watch the tank begin to fill with water through the first section of the detergent dispenser. When you press the “Temperature” key again, water will begin to flow through the second section of the tray. This will check both sections of the fill valve. A third press will turn off the liquid filling into the drum.

One press of the “Spin” button will allow you to test the serviceability of the drain hose. The second is to turn on the Eco Bubble pump. A third press will turn off the pump. If you are sure that there are no problems with draining water from the drum, proceed directly to checking the Eco Bubble pump; to do this, quickly press the spin button twice in a row. Now look through the hatch door. Bubbles should begin to appear in the water with which the drum is filled, this indicates that the bubble wash function is functioning properly.

Symbols on the graphic display

Display of work steps

Let's start with the icons that indicate the stage of the wash cycle. They are located in the upper half of the screen. There are only four of them:

A basin with a Roman numeral I inside - this symbol means that the pre-wash cycle is in progress. Lights up if the user has enabled this option by pressing the desired button.
Basin with number II - at this moment the main wash is in progress. The icon lights up either immediately after the start of this program, or when a manually activated prewash ends. The icon will light up regardless of the selected wash intensity mode.
A half-filled bowl means rinsing. The machine automatically starts rinsing the laundry after the main wash. It is at this time that conditioner is added to the water if it was poured into the tray in advance.
Spiral – spinning is in progress, the last step of washing. Turns on by default at the end of rinsing, unless the “No spin” function is manually set.

Image of options and general parameters

There are also options that complement the standard washing mode and can be started manually. What symbols are used to indicate them:

A T-shirt with two bubbles indicates the presence of the EcoBubble function. The built-in generator mixes washing powder, water and air to produce abundant foam so that it ends up in the machine drum before it is filled with water. This way, detergents dissolve better and contaminants are removed faster, even at low water temperatures.
The drawn iron is “Easy ironing”. When spinning, clothes will wrinkle less.
A basin with the Roman numeral I inside, as stated above, symbolizes pre-washing. There is a separate detergent tray for it. The function is activated manually before selecting the main mode.
T-shirt with a stain - intensive wash. Used for things that have old and difficult to remove stains. The point is to increase the time of each stage.
A basin of clean water – “Soaking”. Used to improve stain removal efficiency. This is done before the start of washing, which means the whole process takes longer.

The following are additional service symbols:

The lock next to the child's face offers to lock the panel from children's hands. The buttons simply will not respond to presses. To activate or deactivate the protection, you need to simultaneously press two keys for 3 seconds: “Rinse” and “Temperature”.
Clock – delay start for a period of 3 to 9 hours. You can set the start time of the cycle as desired by the user.
The drum with flash indicates the self-cleaning option. If the inner surface is heavily soiled, the Eco-Cleaning sign on the screen and a similar indicator on the panel will light up.
A crossed out speaker means switching to silent mode. To turn it on or off, you need to hold the “Rinse” and “Spin” buttons for 3 seconds.
The key is a door lock indicator. If it lights up, the lock is working and the hatch is closed.

The symbols in the middle of the digital screen will tell you how long to wait for the wash to finish, what the water temperature is, how many times the rinse will be carried out and how often the drum rotates during the spin cycle:

Washing time – shown in the center of the screen, the value gradually decreases. An error code appears in this field if something went wrong.
Above the basin, where an asterisk is depicted above the water, the degree of heating of the water is reflected. The heating level is adjusted by pressing the “Temp” key. The glowing lower icon indicates that the wash is carried out without heating the water.
After activating the “No spin” mode, the crossed out spiral sign starts to light up.

The digital screen is small, but very informative. At one glance you will be able to understand what is happening inside.

Installation

Since the installation of the device must be carried out by a specialist, he must follow certain rules to ensure proper operation of the equipment and avoid breakdowns and injuries. After unpacking your Samsung WF8590NLW9 washing machine, check all the parts and make sure everything is included.

Required Criteria

Electrical supply: The mains connection must comply with the latest regulations, as must the grounding. The use of extension cords and tees is prohibited. The washing machine must be sufficiently grounded. This reduces the likelihood of electric shock in case of breakdowns. It is better to consult a specialist if you are not confident in your abilities. If the plug does not fit into your socket, then also call a professional to install a new socket. In general, it is better to resolve all electrical issues together with a specialist. It is not recommended to do everything yourself.

Water supply: when the water pressure is less than 50 kPa, the likelihood of a malfunction increases - the valve will not close completely. Therefore, the water pressure should be 50-800 kPa. The water tap should be located near the back of the machine body to ensure the hoses work. Before using the device, check the hoses and valves for damage - otherwise leaks will occur.

Drain: a 46 cm long water pipe is used. A drain hose is laid through the clamp to this pipe.

Floor: the surface under the machine must be hard and level. The machine must not be installed on carpeted floors. In this case, ventilation is disrupted. When installing the unit on wooden floors, they will need to be reinforced in advance.

Temperature: Do not install the machine in cold places where the ambient temperature is below zero. In this case, the water, which always remains in small quantities in the device, will freeze. Ice in the inside of the machine will lead to malfunction and inevitable breakdowns.

Correct installation of the unit

It starts with choosing a location. The place where you plan to place the device must meet some of the requirements that we discussed above. Let's repeat them again:

leveled surface, no carpet paths;
protection from direct exposure to the sun;
temperature is not below zero;
good ventilation;
absence of flammable materials;
spacious area.

Once you have chosen a location that complies with the rules, we proceed to remove the shipping elements. On the back panel you need to unscrew 5 bolts for transportation. They are unscrewed using a key and plastic plugs are inserted in their place. Do not throw away the bolts; you will need them during transportation.

Now we adjust the height of the legs. This is necessary to provide access to the hoses, drain pipe and cable plug. When you reach the desired height, tighten the nuts on the legs.

The next step is to connect the hoses. We have two of them.

First we connect the water supply hose. It must be connected to the cold water supply hole on the back of the washing machine. The other end of the hose is connected to a water tap. Be sure to tighten all connections.

Next we connect the drain hose. There are several ways to place the end of the drain hose, such as in a bathtub or sink.

The following requirements are imposed on the water pipe: a diameter of at least 5 cm, the ability to pass at least 60 liters of water per minute.

When you have connected all the hoses, you can turn on our device to the network. To start washing things consistently, you need to run a test wash. To do this, select the RINSE+SPIN program. This will check whether you installed the machine correctly.

What powder will we use?

When washing down jackets, you should not use regular powder - specially developed gels are needed. Everyday compositions are not intended for natural filler; they destroy its structure, and leave streaks and stains on the facial fabric. In order not to spoil the item, you should find a product marked “for down products” on the label.

Specialized gel formulations contain special components that remove dirt without harming the fabric and filler. Moreover, they protect the structure of the fluff and preserve its fat layer. There will be no problems purchasing the product - manufacturers offer a wide range of gels and balms for down jackets.

"Profkhim". It is a domestic gel for hand and machine washing of down products. It is inexpensive and sold in 200 ml bottles, which is enough for 3-4 washes. Thanks to its active composition, the product fights dirt of any severity without damaging the insulation and fabric of the item. But there is a serious “minus” - the liquid has a rather pungent odor.
"Nordland". A German product designed for washing down sportswear, ski suits and overalls. Effectively removes stains without damaging the filler or facing material. Sold in containers of 750 ml, used sparingly, 75-100 ml per cycle. If the dosage is observed, it does not leave streaks or odor. Suitable for any type of insulation, both natural and synthetic.
Salton Sport. Shampoo for washing down jackets made of membrane fabric, as well as pillows and blankets. It differs favorably in that, thanks to special technology, it preserves the heat-retaining and ventilation properties of the material, and also delicately cleans down and removes all foreign odors. Due to the presence of a special impregnation, the gel protects clothes from future contamination. Sold in small volumes - 250 ml, which on average is enough for 2-4 cycles.

When using gels for washing down jackets, it is important to follow the recommended dosage!

"Heitmann Daunen-Waschpflege". An excellent product made in Germany. It is sold in 250 ml bottles costing about 400 rubles, and one package is enough for 5-6 cycles. It has a gel structure and is suitable for all types of washing, including machine washing. Eliminates even old stains, acting gently and carefully. It differs in that after using it there is no need to additionally beat the fluff (the main thing is to follow the rules for cleaning down products).
"Weasel." The manufacturer offers a number of delicate gels with which you can safely “refresh” your down jacket. The soft formula does not threaten fluff, but does not cope with serious stains. Therefore, before using the product, it is better to pre-treat stains locally, with traditional cleaners, laundry soap or special stain removers.
"Domal Sport Fein Fashion". An inexpensive but effective gel that is suitable for washing down jackets, sportswear and shoes, and any woolen products. Easily eliminates extraneous odors, washes complex stains without harming fluff and membrane fabric. Additionally, it “beats up” the fibers, making things soft and fluffy. It is found in 750 ml bottles and is consumed in 9-10 washes on average.

All of the products listed are universal, so they are suitable for both hand and machine washing. The main thing is not to pour rinse aid or conditioner into the machine or basin. Remember that they may leave white streaks on the fabric.

How to turn on sound

Most of the Samsung AMS have the option of sound notification about the end of the work process. In some cases, a loud melody can disturb the peace of the family. You can deactivate the option by clicking the “Mute sound” button, if it is provided in this model.

If there is no such key, solve the problem as follows:

Find the “Spin” and “Option” buttons on the panel.
Press them at the same time.
Hold until the display shows an icon with a crossed out speaker.
Then release the buttons.

If necessary, the sound warning system is activated again by similar actions. Information about the functionality of the washing machine and the ability to turn off and turn on various options is contained in the user manual.

If you cannot remove the melody using the buttons, contact customer service. A qualified technician will remove the dashboard and seal the speaker, this will reduce the volume of sounds from the device.

Adviсe

A few tips from service professionals will help you run your washing machine for the first time without any problems:

In order to check the installation quality of the washing machine, use a level. If necessary, place pieces of rubber under the legs of the household appliance.
When unpacking your new washing machine, there is no need to rush to get rid of the packaging containers.
The box (along with the receipt) must be kept during the entire warranty period. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the warranty service.
The washing machine can only be plugged into a grounded outlet protected from high humidity. You cannot use a carrier to connect the washing machine to the power supply.

If during the first test wash any signs of problems with the household appliance appear (knocking, grinding, etc.), it is important to seek help from professional technicians. Fixing problems with your appliance on your own will void the warranty.

You will find a lot of useful and important information on how to properly use Samsung washing machines in this section.

Preparing the machine

Before starting the washing machine for the first time, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory measures:

Check the connection quality. The rubber pipe is mounted to the outlet of the water supply, and the drain hose to the siphon or sewer.
Remove the transport bolts (located on the rear panel of the household appliance). A signal that this action item has been ignored will be the body vibrating during operation. The holes from the transportation bolts must be closed with special plugs (included with the washing machine).
Remove the protective film from the information display and the tape from the powder container and hatch.
Check the washer drum for foreign objects.
Place the washing machine on a perfectly flat and hard surface (the service life of the household appliance depends on the quality of this step). To do this, twist the legs of the washer to the desired height, and then fix it with a wrench.

You can check whether the washing machine is positioned correctly by pressing one by one on the corners of the body. On a flat, hard surface, the washing machine does not wobble and is difficult to move.

What should you pay attention to?

When starting up a Samsung washing machine for the first time, it is very important to monitor the entire washing cycle in order to identify problems in time.

Normal operation of the washing machine requires:

slow rotation of the drum during washing, accelerated during spinning;
heating the water in the drum seven minutes after switching on;
absence of leaks and extraneous sounds;
spinning and draining water without delay.

You should be wary:

strange sounds
grinding and knocking
digital signals appearing on the scoreboard,
incorrect operation of the selected washing program (for example, frequent draining of water),
body rattling during the spin process.

If you have any doubts about the correct functioning of a household appliance, this is a reason to contact the service center for advice and warranty service.

Instructions for preparing for work

Before pressing the “Start” button, you need to prepare the wash. At this stage the housewife needs:

Sort the laundry: separate items that differ from each other in color (dark, light, colored), fabric quality (cotton, silk, wool, synthetics), as well as in degree of contamination.
Check the labels on the products to make sure that the washing temperature and spin mode are selected correctly.
Fasten all existing zippers and buttons on clothing, remove all items from pockets, and if necessary, turn items inside out.
Check for stains on items and treat them with stain remover. Follow the instructions for the duration of action of this product.
Place items with a special cut, such as tights, bras or items with voluminous decor, in a mesh bag.
For one wash, select a volume of laundry that corresponds to the load of this washing machine model.

Preparing laundry and selecting a mode

Before washing, laundry should be sorted by fabric type and color.

This is especially important for synthetic fabrics that shed easily, as well as when washing at high temperatures. It is worth checking all the pockets of your clothes - sometimes important things remain forgotten there, which will be irrevocably damaged during washing, and in addition, if wet, they can stain the clothes

This way, the basket and liner will remain dry and no unpleasant odors will form inside. Installation and Use Instructions 8. How to Remove Some Special Stains - Red Wine. Leave to soak with some detergent, rinse and treat with acetic acid or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residue with bleach. Still fresh stains should be treated with cold water. If the stains are already dry, wash them overnight with a special detergent and then scrub them with soap and water. — Dry grease stains.

To ensure that the laundry is washed and rinsed well when washing, do not pack the machine drum tightly. In addition, regular work with a load “at the limit” will not be very useful for the machine. To prevent the machine from literally jumping around the room due to vibration, it is not recommended to wash items one at a time or to place very large and very small laundry together.

Moisten with turpentine, apply stains with your fingertips and a cotton cloth, resting your head on a soft shelf. - Rust. Hot molten oxalic salt or cold anti-cold product. Treat them with bleach and rinse well. — Oil color. Moisten the detergent with gasoline, apply the stains after applying the clothes to a soft cloth, then work them with the detergent several times. — Ink and biro. Peel and then transfer using a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper.

Then pass the cotton through turpentine or methyl alcohol. — American tires. Run nail polish solvent through followed by a clean rag. - Mold. Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one part bleach and a spoonful of vinegar, and then rinsed immediately.

You should wash items with small decorations with great care. He can either get hurt himself or clog the machine

If some parts do not stick well to the clothes, then you should either tear them off and sew them on again after washing, or immediately attach them more firmly. If there is an abundance of embroidery or rhinestones, you should choose manual or delicate mode.

For other white fabrics, hydrogen peroxide up to 10 volumes, then rinse immediately. - Lipstick. For silk, use trilina. - Nail polish. Place the stain side of the fabric onto a sheet of absorbent paper and rinse with solvent, moving the garment as the sheet is stained. - Grass. The secret of the detergent drawer. First secret: the detergent drawer fits conveniently under the door. You must dispense detergents and additive, if necessary, according to the doses indicated by the manufacturers: read the package information.

What modes are there?

Doses vary depending on the load on the laundry, water hardness and degree of soiling. With experience you will learn how to dose the quantities almost automatically: they will become your secret. When pouring softener into compartment 3, be careful not to exceed the maximum level indicated. The washing machine can automatically accept softener for each wash program. Liquid detergent should be poured out just a few minutes before the machine starts running. Remember that liquid detergent is especially suitable for washing at temperatures up to 60 degrees and for washing programs that do not include a prewash phase.

If things are not very dirty and only need to be slightly refreshed, then you should choose the “fast” mode, which is economical in terms of water and powder consumption.

Turning on and starting the wash

At the “start” we check the machine’s readiness for the upcoming wash. First, we check whether the water supply tap is open and whether the machine is connected to the electrical network (just in case, we also check the presence of electricity in the room). If there are no problems with communications, we sort the things, load a portion of laundry into the drum and close the door tightly. Be sure to listen - there should be a click, indicating that the hatch has been successfully locked.

Next, we start the washing machine system by pressing the “Power” button. While the machine “wakes up,” add detergent, powder or gel to the dispensary. If necessary, fill the middle compartment, marked with a “*” or “flower,” with conditioner or stain remover. Now let's decide on the washing mode.

We study the “tags” on the clothes and, looking at the Samsung user manual, select the appropriate program.
If the desired mode is not available, set the cycle parameters manually: adjust the spin speed, temperature, turn on the rinse and specify the time.
We check whether the correct mode is selected.
Press the “Start” key.

All! The beauty of an automatic washing machine is that once you turn on the “Start” button, you don’t have to do anything. The equipment itself will change from washing to spinning and rinsing, and then move on to draining. There is no need to stop Samsung or stand nearby. Even if there is a sudden power outage, the washing machine will “remember” where it stopped and continue the cycle when current is supplied. If you need to urgently interrupt the program and open the drum, we act only through the special “Pause” key.

Expert recommendations

Proper care will extend the life of the equipment, so after finishing washing:

Wipe the door and its seal dry.
Temporarily leave the hatch open and the powder container pulled out to dry the surfaces.
Disconnect the device from the power supply, as voltage surges can cause malfunctions.

It is also necessary to regularly clean the inlet filter in the water drainage compartment. If the machine jumps during the spin cycle, place a rubber mat under it to stabilize it and reduce vibration.

Sorting clothes

To avoid unpleasant consequences, before washing, take the time to sort your items, taking them into account:

degree of contamination;

coloring;

fabric properties.

Before washing in the machine, wash any existing stains; pre-soak items that are too dirty for 15-30 minutes. Wash wardrobe items made from delicate fabrics that require special care separately from other laundry.

Remember to check your pockets to ensure that small items do not interfere with the operation of the device. Turning things inside out will help maintain their appearance longer.

To save time, place dirty laundry in several containers so you can sort them by color and fabric type at once. In hardware stores you can find large baskets with several sections.

Repairing a washing machine is not cheap. The cost of repair is sometimes comparable to the price of the entire device. And if a device malfunction is caused by its improper operation, the user may not count on free service; he will have to pay for repairs out of his own pocket. Fortunately, all this can be prevented. If you use your washing machine correctly, it is quite possible to extend its service life by at least several years. Implementing these recommendations will certainly take less time and require less effort than replacing the entire device.
