Modern Samsung washing machines wash things efficiently and treat them with care, thereby significantly extending their service life. To maximize all the capabilities of the technology, you need to correctly use the washing modes in the Samsung washing machine. Each type of fabric or different types of items has its own program with certain temperature ranges, spin speeds, drum operation algorithms and other parameters.
Washing modes in a Samsung washing machine
Unlike machines from other manufacturers, the Samsung company on its equipment, for the convenience of users, does not draw conventional icons near the mode selector indicating a particular program, but immediately writes the name. Thanks to this solution, the Samsung washing machine is clear and easy to use.
Depending on the model, the Samsung washing machine has basic programs (cotton, synthetics, wool, etc.), as well as a number of additional ones.
The washing machine can do the following: laundry programs:
Cotton
This mode is designed for white or colored cotton laundry. Depending on the degree of contamination, you can set the temperature to 95°C.The spin is performed at maximum speed or as required by the user. Depending on the selected temperature and additional options, washing time can reach three hours.
Preliminary
This option (another name is “Soak”) is activated with the “Cotton” mode and is intended for washing heavily soiled items. The laundry is soaked first, and only then does the main cycle begin. When selecting this function, powder or liquid detergent must be poured into the main and pre-wash compartments.
Synthetics
Mode for synthetic fabrics, the maximum permissible temperature is 60°C; upon completion, the laundry is spun at the highest speed, unless the user manually reduces the speed. Performs within 120 minutes.
Delicate
For delicate or lace underwear, the cycle lasts up to 40-50 minutes at a water temperature of no more than 40°C. There is either no spinning at all, or it is performed at a minimum speed to prevent damage to the laundry.
Manual
Similar to the delicate program. Designed for linen that can only be washed by hand. The drum speed is reduced during operation, there is no spin, the maximum temperature is 40°C.
Wool
This washing program is designed for wool items. A large amount of water is used, low temperature conditions and smooth rocking of the machine drum for a more gentle treatment of things. The program lasts only 50 minutes.
Children's
Run the cycle in hot water to kill bacteria and with a few extra rinses to flush out any remaining detergent. Duration of execution – up to 150 minutes.
Fast
On different models of washing machines, the execution time is 15 or 29 minutes.Used for refreshing or washing lightly soiled clothes. Performed at low temperatures, spinning is carried out at high speed.
Daily
Mode for items that require regular washing. These are shirts, underwear, etc.
Intensive Eco
The cycle is carried out at a low water temperature, but the results are provided as with a full wash. Significant energy savings are achieved.
Eco Bubble
The Eco Bubble function is activated for some modes. Thanks to the built-in bubble generator, water mixes with air and detergent and creates a large amount of foam. Thanks to this solution, the powder penetrates better into the fabric and washes away dirt.
Outerwear
The program is designed for washing items made from materials that repel water. These are sportswear or outerwear, etc. Thanks to the large amount of foam that envelops the clothes, they do not deteriorate due to friction against the drum, and the water-repellent coating is not damaged.
Spin
This function can be launched additionally, for example, in cases where things are not wrung out well enough. Duration: five minutes.
Drain
This option is activated if it is necessary to drain water from the washing machine tank, for example, in the event of a breakdown.
Rinse + spin
When you select this function, the Samsung machine rinses the items and then starts spinning. Duration – up to 20 minutes. This may be necessary in many cases, for example, if at the end of a program it is discovered that the detergent has not been completely washed out of the fabrics.
Drum self-cleaning
This option is used to clean the drum of a Samsung machine from mold and bacteria. The program is carried out at a temperature of 70°C and for 90 minutes.
Conclusion
Modern Samsung washing machines are gentle on clothes and at the same time wash away even the most stubborn stains. This is achieved thanks to the modes for all types of fabrics or different things. The programs carefully select the temperature, the algorithm of the drum operation during the cycle, the amount of water, the speed during spinning and other parameters. As a result, the laundry is washed perfectly and is not damaged in the process. All that is required from the user is to load the clothes into the drum and select the mode according to the recommendations on the label. The Samsung washing machine will perform further actions on its own.
