Washing a load of laundry
FOR ACTIVFRESH™ WASHING
An increased consumer demand for energy-saving products prompted Samsung to develop a system to
use silver, widely known for its antimicrobial properties, as a sanitizing agent in your washer.
Pure silver atoms have an electron stripped away by electrolysis during the wash and rinse cycles, which
releases up to 16 million trillion silver ions that then penetrate deep into the fabric to sanitize clothing
(according to U.S. EPA Test Guideline DIS/TSS-13). It does not need hot water or bleach.
Here’s how it works: A grapefruit-sized device alongside the tub uses two pure silver plates the size of large
chewing gum sticks as electrodes in the water inlet system. The resulting positively charged silver atoms
- Silver ions (Ag+) -- are sprayed into the tub during the wash and final rinse cycle.
During tests, this process removed more than 99.9% of bacteria.
Extra delicate blouses, shirts, or even lingerie that can’t be washed in hot water can now be sanitized
effectively without the adverse effects of hot water. The silver plates can easily be replaced by a Service
Technician if needed.

USING STEAM WASH
The Steam Wash function injects steam directly into the laundry in the wash tub to increase the wash
temperature and enhance the Soak effect, thus improving the wash performance.

Press the
Power
button.
3.
Turn the Cycle Selector and select a Steam Cycle. (The Deep Steam course automatically selects
Steam.)

Press the
Steam
button.
5.
Add detergent into the dispenser tray for a wash, and add fabric softener up to the marked line.
6.
Press the
Start/Pause
button.
: The washer automatically selects the optimal wash conditions by sensing the weight of the laundry.
If steam wash is selected, steam is injected at the most effective time for the detected amount of
laundry in order to maximize the effect of the steam.
