Not too sure which washing cycle you should use in a mix full load of washing, or what types of clothes should be washed together? With your smart washing machine, you can easily come up with a Laundry Recipe for any type of clothing, no matter how dirty the load. Using the SmartThings app, you can create the perfect cycle for your washing and start it from anywhere.

Before creating your own Laundry Recipe, ensure that you have connected SmartThings to your washing machine, activated Smart Control, and that your smartphone is connected to the same wireless network as your smart washing machine.

NOTE: The SmartThings app is available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required. Data fees may apply.

Note: To check if your Washing Machine is SmartThings compatible, please consult the Compatible Devices page.

Step 1

Head into the SmartThings app and select your washer.

Then, scroll down and tap 'Laundry Recipe'.

Step 2

Select the types of clothing you are wanting to wash.

Some options may be greyed out, as the types are incompatible with your machine.

Step 3

Once selected, press 'Next'.

Step 4

Select the Colour and Soil level of your washing load.

Step 5

Tap on 'Get suggestions' to continue.

Based on the information you have provided, you will be given a best cycle for your washing. You may also be presented with other cycle options in which you can choose between.

Step 6

Here, you can also review the temperature, amount of rinses and spin for the load.

After selecting your preferred cycle, tap 'Send to Washer'.

Step 7

Once the recipe is sent to the washer, you will receive a pop-up message.

Tap 'OK', then press the 'Start' button on your washer to begin the cycle.
