18 Washing A Load Of Laundry; Loading Your Washer; Getting Started - Samsung WF231 Series User Manual

LOADING YOUR WASHER
• You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes, but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub.
Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or
wrinkling of the load.
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle with similar
lightweight items.
• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don't fill the tub completely - a rug, a pillow, stuffed
toys, or one or two sweaters, for example - add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin performance.
[_ uring the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute any excess unbalance
inside the drum.
When washing heavily soiled loads, not overloading your Washer is very important to assure good
cleaning results.
To add a forgotten item:
1. Press the Power button.
2. Press the Start/Pause Button.
3. Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds).
4. Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button.
After a 10-second pause, the cycle resumes.
To ensure thorough cleaning, add items within five minutes of starting the wash cycle.
