What are the functions of Samsung washers?
Modern washing equipment Samsung, one of the world's leading manufacturers, provides the user with a wide range of programs for clothes treatment. And it makes it possible to adjust them by the user, taking into account the type of fabric and the type of things being processed.
Cotton
This mode is intended for processing cotton items.
Taking into account the type of products, you can adjust the washing temperature. Maximum - up to + 95 ° С, but you can choose a lower temperature.
The spin is set to the maximum number of revolutions by default. And it can be corrected too.
Taking into account all the settings, if they are selected to the maximum, the cycle time can be up to 3 hours. Decreasing the parameters - less.
Pre-wash / Soak
The prewash can be used when processing cottons. The need for it arises if things are heavily soiled.
In the process of processing, such cotton products are first soaked, and only then the washing itself begins. The total duration of the stay of things in the drum is lengthened.
Synthetics
This mode is intended for the care of items made of artificial fibers (nylon, polyester, mixed materials with a high proportion of synthetics).
Water heating temperature when washing synthetics can be no more than + 60 ° C... Spinning is performed at high speed by default. The maximum washing time is up to two hours.
Delicate mode
The delicate wash is suitable for laundry that is not designed for intensive use. This mode is suitable for lace products, thin materials.
Water heating temperature in delicate mode - no more than 40 ° С... A full cycle lasts less than an hour, since when processing items that are demanding to care, spin should be either minimal or absent.
Handwash
The information on the label of some things says that only hand wash is allowed. 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 ° С... No spin.
Wool
To wash items containing wool or completely woolen, you must select a special processing mode. For washing, the machine fills in more water than usual and provides a low heating temperature.
In this case, the intensive rotation of the drum is replaced by rockingto prevent deformation and sewing of items placed in the machine. The entire wash cycle takes less than an hour.
Kids' things
For the care of baby things, the washing machine heats up the water well and washes intensively. Such processing allows you to destroy bacteria and wash off the dirt characteristic of baby's clothes.
By default, this mode is used for an additional rinse to completely wash out the detergent. The processing cycle is quite long - 2.5 hours.
Outerwear
For the care of outerwear, including those with water-repellent qualities, the company has introduced a separate treatment mode. During the washing process, the material is exposed to foam.
This reduces the friction of the material against the ribs of the drum of the washing machine, and the water-repellent coating is not damaged. This mode selectable for jackets, tracksuits, etc.
For outerwear, it is recommended to use special detergents suitable for water-repellent coatings.
Daily
For regular, daily, care of things, this processing mode can be selected. Daily wash is recommended for T-shirts, T-shirts, shirts, etc.
Quick wash
Depending on the model, this mode may involve processing for 29 or 15 minutes... Such express processing can be applied if things are not too dirty and it is enough to just refresh them. In this case, the heating of the water is provided by a small washing machine, and the spinning is intensive.
Intensive eco
When this mode is selected, an effective wash is provided for a long cycle, but with low water heating.
Eco Bubble
Eco Bubble is available for some modes... This treatment, based on the built-in air bubble generator, improves the washing efficiency.
The action of air bubbles complements the treatment with the detergent and ensures good cleaning of fabrics from dirt.
Using the Eco Bubble system can lead to increased foaming.
Spinning
Washer can only provide spinning of clothes, without washing... This may be necessary in cases where, at the end of one of the wash cycles, the clothes are not wrung out well enough.
You can also apply "spin" after washing, which was carried out without using the washing machine.
Rinse + spin
If things do not need to be washed, but it is enough to rinse and wring out, then you can set "rinse + spin".In this case, the user gets the opportunity to adjust the processing intensity downward. Duration of work - up to 20 minutes.
Draining
This option allows you to forcefully drain the water from the tank. This can be useful, for example, in the event of an unexpected breakdown, hatch leakage, etc.
Eco drum cleaning
In some models, the manufacturer has incorporated the possibility of a self-cleaning machine.
This function is very useful as it helps prevent mold and dirt accumulation in the components.in contact with water and detergent.
When self-cleaning starts, the cycle starts without detergent and laundry in the drum. The machine heats water up to 70 ° C and rinses the tank and drum well. The duration of this treatment is 90 minutes.
The washing machine itself reminds of the need to clean the eco-friendly, but you can start and select 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, it is necessary 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 start the cycle by itself, without human intervention.
Child lock
Blocking is designed to protect equipment from accidental button presses and on / off switching, including by children. The lock activation may differ depending on the model. In most cases, the child icon indicates a combination of buttons to lock.
Easy ironing
The option is marked in the form of a schematic representation of the iron... Adding “light iron” causes the items to wrinkle less in the drum than with a normal spin cycle.
"My program"
The button with the image of the profile of the person's face allows you to set and remember any mode adjusted by your settings.
This function can be useful in cases where one of the most frequently used modes is constantly being corrected in relation to temperature and / or spin intensity.
"Refresh your clothes"
In modern Samsung models, new products, it is possible to freshen up worn or simply stored clothes on the shelf, without using water.
For this, the product is placed in a drum and the mode is started. Processing is carried out with a stream of heated air. No detergents are used and no water flows into the drum.
There are such modes:
- removal of odors;
- sterilization.
The processing time for sterilization is 59 minutes, for odor removal - 29 minutes. Thus, even a suit and coat can be processed. Each item is placed in the drum one at a time (maximum two small items).
Drying
The drying option is available in a number of programs and as a standalone processing mode. Depending on the intensity of drying, the item can be completely dry at the exit, or slightly damp, so that it is easier to iron.
Depending on the model, the following options are offered:
- drying mode may not be;
