User Manual Samsung WW85T554DAB/SA Washing Machine

It is important to regularly clean the door and the drum of your washing machine to prevent any build-up of bacterias that can cause bad odours. It is recommended to clean the drum of your washing machine once a month.
Samsung washing machines have a self-cleaning cycle called Drum Clean or Drum Clean+, which heats up water up to 60 °C and 70 °C to remove any bacteria or build-up from the drum of your washing machine. This can also remove any dirt that has accumulated in the rubber door gasket.
Follow the guide below to see how you can clean the door and drum of your washing machine with Drum Clean or Drum Clean+. If you would like to manually clean the door of your washing machine, there is a guide below as well.

When detergents are not dissolving well
Use warm water (about 40°C) to dissolve the detergent. (Make sure to use an appropriate amount.)
Even if an excess amount of detergent is used, there is not much difference in the washing result. It may cause damage to your garments because rinsing is not enough.
The bleaching agent may cause damage to your garments since it is a strong alkali.
Sufficiently rinse your garments rinsing because the powder detergent can easily remain on the garments causing bad odors.
If too much detergent is used or cold water is used, it doesn’t dissolve completely and will remain on the garments, hose, or spin basket, causing contamination of your clothes.
In case of reserved washing, detergents must be put in the detergent box. If the powder detergents are put on the laundry directly, it may cause discoloration.

Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling.
Always use low suds laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse process, thereby blocking the drain outlet.
It is highly recommended to use HE (High Efficiency) Detergent with all Samsung washing machines.

It is important to properly connect the water hose of your washing machine to prevent any leaks. Follow the guide below for connecting the water hose of your Samsung washing machine whether it is to a threaded or non-threaded tap.
When connecting the water hose, do NOT stretch the water hose by force. If the hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high-pressure hose.
