Samsung Front Loader Washing Machine Maintenance
Keep the washing machine clean to prevent deteriorated performance and to preserve its life cycle
Perform this course regularly to clean the drum and to remove bacteria from it.
NOTE
The water temperature for ECO DRUM CLEAN is set to 70 °C, which cannot be changed.
CAUTION
Do not use any cleaning agents for cleaning the drum. Chemical residue in the drum deteriorates the washing performance.
ECO DRUM CLEAN reminder
• The ECO DRUM CLEAN reminder appears on the main screen once every 40 washes. It is advisable to perform the ECO DRUM CLEAN regularly.
• When you first see this reminder, you can ignore the reminder for 6 consecutive times. From the 7th wash, the reminder does not appear. However, it appears again on the second 40th wash.
To enable this function, you must first download the Samsung Smart Washer app at the Play Store or the Apple Store, and install it on a mobile device featuring a camera function.
The Smart Check function has been optimized for Galaxy & iPhone series (applicable models only).
NOTE
• The function name, Smart Check, may differ depending on the language.
• If the washing machine reflets light on the display, the app may fail to recognize the information code.
• If the app fails to recognize the Smart Check code consecutively, enter the information code manually onto the app screen.
All drying options except for the Time Dry option detect the weight of the laundry in order to display a more accurate drying time and dry the laundry more effectively. Refer to the chart below to select the appropriate drying option according to the type and amount of laundry and the moisture you want to leave.
NOTE
• The drying result may differ depending on the selected washing cycle and the type/amount of laundry.
• If both washing and drying cycles are selected, the spin speed is automatically set to enhance the drying efficiency.
• In case you want to dry laundry after a hand wash, turn the cycle selector to select the spin cycle, and then select a drying option for best performance.
• When drying is complete, dust from the dry surface of the clothes may remain on the diaphragm due to the ironing effect that prevents wrinkles.Alternatively, you can easily remove it with a damp towel or cloth.
The Air Wash function refreshes garments through Samsung’s unique air-washing technology without the need for water.
Refer to the chart below for the usage and cycle time of each Air Wash cycle.
NOTE
• The recommended maximum load capacity for the Air Wash cycles is 1 kg or less (one or two items). If you overload the drum,, the deodorization or sanitization efficiey may be reduced.
• You can add a fragrance sheet to the laundry to add fragrance during the Air Wash cycle
CAUTION
Do not use any Air Wash cycles for the following items
• Heat-sensitive garments made from leather, mink, fur, silk, etc.
• Underwear trimmed with lace, doll cushions, and trims on dress suits may become loose.
• Clothes trimmed with buttons can cause them to break.
