How to turn on a Samsung washing machine?

How to turn on a Samsung washing machine It’s not enough to just turn on the Samsung washing machine by pressing the “Power” and “Start” buttons on the dashboard. You still need to thoroughly prepare, choose a washing program, sort things and don’t forget about the subsequent care of the machine. It’s better not to rush, but to carefully study all the recommendations and advice.

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.

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.

Prepare things carefully

The factory instructions say nothing about preparing things for loading. But experienced housewives know that the quality of washing and the performance of the machine depend on sorting the laundry. So, it is recommended not to forget about the following “material” rules.

Linen is sorted into three groups: light-white, dark-black and colored.
We pay attention to the material. Cotton, synthetics, wool, silk are washed separately from each other and in different programs.
Don’t ignore the labels on things – the manufacturer indicates on them the maximum temperature and spin cycle for washing.
Pockets must be checked for forgotten items, coins, keys, and paper. Remember that “lost” items will fall out of things when the drum rotates, damage the tank, or get stuck inside the machine.
Shake off the dust from the laundry, remove hair or fur.
We fasten zippers, snaps and buttons.
We turn down jackets, jackets and bed linen inside out.
For tough stains, pre-soak and treat with stain remover.
Inserts made of natural fur, if available, can be unfastened or covered with plastic film.
Clothes with an abundance of decorative elements (studs, rhinestones, beads, crochet) are placed in a special mesh bag.
Additional detergents (fragrances, rinse aids, concentrates) are selected for the laundry.

Before washing, you need to check your pockets - forgotten keys or coins will lead to a clogged drain, a jam, or damage to the drum.

Special attention is paid to shoes loaded into the drum. No more than two pairs are washed at a time, and they must be placed in a protective bag, with jeans or an old towel placed next to them. The laces are pulled out, the excess decor is removed.

Caring for the machine

In order for the machine to wash efficiently, you need to monitor it. It is better to do this throughout the entire operation, but an express check immediately before starting the cycle will not hurt. First of all, look:

Is the machine level?
is the drum fully loaded (with a full tank, the internal mechanisms of the washing machine wear out more slowly);
whether the maximum loading weight has been exceeded (overloading is no less dangerous than underloading);
Do things need high temperature (constant operation of the heating element increases energy consumption and greatly “stresses” the machine, so it is better to wash at 30-40 degrees);
Is it possible to reduce the spin speed (it is not recommended to constantly accelerate the machine to “maximum speed”, it is better to limit yourself to 400-600 rpm);
how to turn the programmer (manufacturers advise turning the selector strictly clockwise).

It is forbidden to run more than two high-temperature cycles in a row - the Samsung machine must rest for at least 20-40 minutes.

It is advisable to pay attention to the machine after finishing washing. Wipe the cuff and drum walls dry, wash the dispenser and leave the hatch door open. Be sure to unplug the machine and not use extension cords. Ideally, you should regularly carry out comprehensive cleanings: run an “empty” cycle twice a month, rinse the garbage filter and treat the insides of the unit with an anti-scale and fungus agent.
