Preparing the machine

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

1. 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.
2. 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).

3. Remove the protective film from the information display and the tape from the powder container and hatch.
4. Check the washer drum for foreign objects.
5. 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.

Step-by-step washing instructions

1. Close the hatch door (a characteristic click indicates that the lock has been activated and the machine is ready to start washing).
2. A minimum amount of washing powder is poured into a special receiver (it is important that the product is intended for automatic washing machines).
3. Set the program with the longest washing time, the water heating temperature is 60°C. There is no need to disable the “spin” option. The washing machine must go through the entire cycle so that you can fully evaluate the performance of the household appliance.

Do I need to add detergent?

There are several recommendations to follow, choosing a detergent for the first run:

1. If ordinary washing powder is poured into the powder receptacle, it is important that the package is marked “automatic”.

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.

• slow rotation of the drum during washing, accelerated during spinning;

• spinning and draining water without delay.
