Operating tips
In order for the household appliance to last a long time and not need repair, it is important to follow all the operating rules prescribed in the instructions for Samsung.
General recommendations will also help in this matter:
the optimal amount of things should be loaded into the drum - underload and overload negatively affects the operation of the machine;- if there is no need to set a high temperature, in order to save energy, you should limit yourself to 30 degrees;
- the maximum temperature (90 degrees) creates a load on the heating element and the control module, therefore, washing with such indicators should not be frequent;
- it is not necessary to constantly set the spin at high speeds (over 800), as this wears out the oil seal and bearings;
- when choosing a detergent, you should give preference to quality products;
- you cannot use powders intended for hand washing;
- while the machine is running, it is not recommended to forcibly stop it;
- in the event of an emergency power outage, the device will automatically restore the process.
