Congratulations on your new Samsung top load washer/dryer set! The Samsung WF42H5000AW model is a washer and not a washer/dryer combo, so you'll have a separate dryer unit. Below are the general steps to use the washer:
Preparing the Washer:
- Make sure the washer is properly installed and connected to the water supply and power source.
- Open the washer lid and check if the drum is empty and clean.
Sorting Laundry:
- Sort your laundry by color, fabric type, and care instructions to ensure proper washing.
Adding Laundry:
- Open the washer lid and add your sorted laundry. Avoid overloading the machine, as it may affect washing performance.
Adding Detergent:
- Measure the appropriate amount of detergent for your load size and type of laundry. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
Selecting the Wash Cycle:
- Turn the control knob to select the desired wash cycle. The available cycles might include Normal, Heavy Duty, Delicates, Quick Wash, and more. Choose the one that suits your laundry type.
Adjusting Settings:
- Depending on the selected cycle, you may have additional options to adjust water temperature, spin speed, soil level, and other settings. Use the control panel to customize the cycle according to your preferences.
Starting the Washer:
- Once you have selected the cycle and adjusted the settings, close the lid of the washer and press the "Start" button.
During the Wash Cycle:
- The washer will automatically go through the wash process, which includes filling, agitating, draining, and spinning. You can check the progress of the cycle on the display panel.
Completing the Wash Cycle:
- When the wash cycle is complete, the washer will stop and may play a chime or sound. The lid will unlock, allowing you to remove your clean laundry.
Drying:
- As the Samsung WF42H5000AW is a washing machine, you will need to transfer your clean laundry to the separate dryer unit for drying. Follow the instructions provided with your dryer to operate it properly.
It's essential to read the user manual that comes with the washer to familiarize yourself with all the features and functions specific to your model. The manual will provide you with detailed instructions on usage, care, and troubleshooting.
For the dryer, follow the separate user manual that comes with it to ensure proper and safe operation. Dry your clothes according to the fabric care instructions, and remember to clean the dryer's lint filter after each use to maintain optimal performance and safety.
