What modes are provided in Samsung washing machines, how to use them correctly?

The manufacturer of washing equipment Samsung cares about the convenience of customers by providing the ability to select washing programs on the control panel.

Devices that are aimed at the domestic market have inscriptions in Russian. In this case, the digital display displays all the information on the specified wash.

To confidently use a Samsung washing machine, it is advisable to know all its functions and modes.

What features do Samsung washing machines have?

Modern washing equipment from Samsung, one of the world's leading manufacturers, provides the user with a wide range of programs for processing items. And it makes it possible for the user to adjust them, taking into account the type of fabric and the type of items being processed.

Cotton

This mode is designed for processing cotton items.

Depending on the type of product, you can adjust the washing temperature. Maximum – up to +95? C, but you can choose a lower temperature.

Spin is set to maximum speed by default. And it can also be adjusted.

Taking into account all the settings, if they are selected to the maximum, the cycle duration can reach 3 hours. When you lower the parameters - less.

Pre-wash/Soak

Pre-wash can be used when processing cotton items. The need for it arises if things are heavily soiled.

Synthetics

This mode is intended for caring for items made from artificial fibers (nylon, polyester, mixed materials with a high proportion of synthetics).

The water heating temperature when washing synthetics can be no more than +60? C. Spin is performed at high speed by default. The maximum washing time is up to two hours.

Delicate mode

Delicate wash is suitable for laundry that is not designed for intense exposure. This mode is suitable for lace products and thin materials.

Water heating temperature in delicate mode – no more than 40? C. A full cycle lasts less than an hour, since when processing items that require care, there should be either minimal or no spinning.

Handwash

Information on the label of some items indicates that only hand washing is allowed. The manual processing mode helps to get around this limitation.

In this case, the washing intensity will be low, since the number of drum revolutions is reduced. Heating temperature – no more than 40? C. There is no spin.

Wool

To wash items containing wool or completely wool, you must select a special treatment mode. To wash, the machine fills in a larger amount of water than usual and provides a low heating temperature.

The intense rotation of the drum is replaced by rockingto prevent deformation and sagging of products placed in the machine. The entire wash cycle lasts less than an hour.

Kids' things

To care for children's things, the washing machine heats the water well and washes intensively. This treatment allows you to destroy bacteria and remove dirt typical of your baby’s clothes.

By default, this mode performs an additional rinse to completely rinse the detergent. The processing cycle is quite long – 2.5 hours.

Outerwear

To care for outerwear, including those with water-repellent properties, the company has introduced a separate treatment regime. During the washing process, the material is exposed to foam.

This reduces the friction of the material against the ribs of the washing machine drum, and the water-repellent coating is not damaged. This mode Selected for jackets, tracksuits, etc.

To wash outerwear, it is recommended to use special detergents suitable for water-repellent coatings.

Daily

For regular, daily care of things, this treatment mode can be selected. It is recommended to use daily washing for T-shirts, T-shirts, shirts, etc.

Quick wash

Depending on the model, this mode may involve treatment for 29 or 15 minutes. This express treatment can be used if the items are not too dirty and can be easily refreshed. In this case, the water heating is provided by the washing machine at a low level, and the spin cycle is intense.

Intensive eco

When choosing this mode, effective washing in a long cycle is ensured, but with low water heating.

Eco Bubble

Eco Bubble function available for some modes. This treatment, based on a built-in air bubble generator, improves washing efficiency.

The action of air bubbles complements the treatment with detergent and ensures good cleaning of fabrics from dirt.

Using the Eco Bubble system may result in increased foaming.

Spin

Washing machine can only provide spinning of things, without washing. This may be necessary in cases where, at the end of one of the washing cycles, the items are not wrung out well enough.

You can also use a “spin” after washing, which was carried out without using a washing machine.

Rinse + spin

If you don’t need to wash the clothes, but just rinse and spin, then you can set “rinse + spin”. In this case, the user has the opportunity to adjust the processing intensity downward. Operating time – up to 20 minutes.

Drain

This option allows you to force water out of the tank. This can be useful, for example, in the event of an unexpected breakdown, leakage of the hatch, etc.

Drum Cleaning Eco

In some models, the manufacturer has included the ability for the machine to perform self-cleaning.

This function is very useful, as it helps prevent the appearance of mold and the accumulation of dirt in the nodesin contact with water and detergent.

When self-cleaning starts, a cycle starts without detergent and laundry in the drum. The machine heats the water to 70? C and rinses the tank and drum well. The duration of such treatment is 90 minutes.

The washing machine itself reminds you of the need to clean the eco-washer, but you can start it by selecting the mode manually. Read more about this function here.

Postponement

The ability to delay the start of the wash allows you to set the start up to 19 hours. In advance, you need to pour detergent into the cuvette and put things in the drum.

After turning on the machine, you must select “Delay” on the panel and set the delayed start time. The washing machine will begin the cycle itself, without human intervention.

Child lock

The locking is designed to protect equipment from accidental pressing of buttons and turning it on and off, including by children. The activation of the lock may vary depending on the model. In most cases, the "child" icon indicates a combination of buttons to lock.

Easy ironing

The option is indicated in the form of a schematic image of an iron. By adding "light ironing" the items in the drum are less wrinkled than with a regular spin cycle.

"My program"

A button with a profile image of a person’s face allows you to set and remember any mode adjusted by your settings.

This function can be convenient in cases where one of the most frequently used modes is constantly adjusted in terms of temperature and/or spin intensity.

"Refresh your clothes"

In modern Samsung models, new products, it is possible to refresh clothes that have been worn or simply stored on a shelf, without using water.

To do this, the product is placed in the drum and the mode is started. The treatment is carried out with a stream of heated air. No detergents are used and no water enters the drum.

The following modes exist:

• removal of odors;
• sterilization.

The duration of treatment for sterilization is 59 minutes, for removal of odors – 29 minutes. In this way, even a suit and coat can be treated. Each item is placed in the drum one at a time (maximum two small ones).

Drying

The “drying” option is available in a number of programs, as well as as an independent processing mode. Depending on the intensity of drying, the item may come out either completely dry or slightly damp to make it easier to iron.

Depending on the model, the following options are offered:

• there may be no drying mode;
• delicate drying;
• intensive (accelerated) - only for materials that can withstand significant heat.

Rarely found

In addition to the modes familiar to most models, in some they can be highlighted separately:

• washing curtains;
• night program (without spin and sound signals);
• jeans;
• blankets;
• shirts, etc.

Most narrowly targeted modes can be replaced with standard ones, with adjusted settings.

Test mode

While operating a Samsung washing machine, you may encounter a situation where you have doubts about the operation of the device or suspect a breakdown.

The principle of operation and launch of the mode is built on similar principles in all models, but with nuances depending on the specific version of the device.

Launch

Before starting, you must make sure that all communications are connected. Starting is carried out in Eco Bubble machines by pressing a combination of buttons:

• "Spin";
• "Options".

When pressed simultaneously, the work starts, which is accompanied by a sound signal. The hatch door must be closed.

Stage No. 1. Checking Linear Parameters

Testing is carried out in several stages. First, the performance and response of the linear components are checked:

• heating element;
• fill valve;
• drain hose;
• module generating Eco Bubble bubbles.

By pressing the temperature selection button, the valves are checked:

1. The first press causes water to be drawn through the first tray of the cuvette.
2. On the second - through the second.
3. According to the third, the flooding of water stops.

Pressing “Spin” makes it possible to check the functionality of the drain system:

1. The first press - check the drain hose.
2. Secondly, turning on the Eco Bubble pump means bubbles appear in the drum.
3. The third one is shutdown.

Stage No. 2. Motor and sensor testing

By rotating the mode selection knob it is possible to test a certain type of operation automatic washing machine:

• moving the pointer to “Hand wash” allows you to determine the speed of the motor;
• setting it to “synthetic” makes it possible to see the rotation speed increasing;
• “Rinse and spin” shows the temperature of the water in the drum and the operation of the sensor;
• to “spin” - the water level sensor is tested, etc.

Passing the test mode allows the user to independently check the performance of the systems and identify possible problems.

7 recommendations

For optimal use of your Samsung washing machine, the following recommendations must be adhered to:

1. When choosing a mode, it is important to consider what fabric the items are made from. If chosen incorrectly, it can lead to product damage.
2. High-quality washing is achieved by filling the drum to no more than 2/3 of its volume.
3. The spin cycle can not only be adjusted downwards, but also completely cancelled. This can be useful when washing items that are prone to warping or have significant wear.
4. If there is any doubt whether it is better to underload or overload the machine, then the first option is preferable.
5. Regardless of the chosen washing mode, items must be prepared for processing - mended, zippers and buttons fastened, and items that are especially demanding of care must be turned inside out.
6. Before putting into the drum, all products must be sorted by degree of contamination, type of fabric, color.
7. Detergents should only be used that are intended for use in automatic washing machines.
