3. Product Features

3.1 AddWash Function

The AddWash feature allows you to quickly and easily add forgotten items of clothing or extra detergent during a wash cycle. Simply press the pause button and open the small AddWash door located on the main door to insert items. This can be done at almost any point in the cycle without draining the water.

3.2 SchaumAktiv (EcoBubble) Technology

Samsung's SchaumAktiv (EcoBubble) technology generates bubbles by mixing air, water, and detergent before the cycle begins. These bubbles penetrate fabrics faster than concentrated liquid detergent, allowing for effective cleaning even at lower temperatures (e.g., 15°C), which helps save energy.

3.3 Flecken Intensiv (Stain Intensive) Function

The Flecken Intensiv option helps remove a variety of stubborn stains. When activated, this function pre-treats clothes by soaking them thoroughly in bubbles, ensuring a more effective stain removal process during the main wash cycle.

3.4 Digital Inverter Motor

The Digital Inverter Motor operates without brushes, reducing friction and wear. This results in a quieter, more durable, and energy-efficient washing machine. It also comes with a long-term warranty, ensuring reliability.

4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washing machine. Please follow these guidelines:

• Unpacking: Remove all packaging materials, including the transport bolts at the rear of the machine. Keep the bolts for future transport.
• Location: Place the washing machine on a solid, level floor. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for ventilation and maintenance.
• Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the machine is perfectly level. Adjust the leveling feet as necessary to prevent vibrations and noise during operation.
• Water Supply: Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
• Drainage: Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent it from dislodging.
• Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
