The transport lock is easily removed with the supplied key. With this, you can also align the elevator feet.
Then connect the water hoses.
It is very important to calibrate the washing machine before the first wash, because you automatically determines the weight of the laundry.
Then the machine is ready for use.
Here's a nutshell the vertices of the model:
# Energy efficiency A +++
# Annual consumption 122 KWh
# Wasserverbracuh annually 9400L
# Revolutions 1400Upm
# Fully electronic control with intelligent automatic load
# Program end-code (up to 19h)
# Drum volume 63 L
Now for the important points:
At first I found that in the Samsung machine much more clothing fits than in my old BEKO (the old machine was about 5x / week), which allegedly also has 7 kg capacity
... This saves me at least. 1-2 washes / week. However, one must not think now is the stuffing machine to go no longer ... The drum is well stocked, but not overloaded!
In addition, the door of Samsung is huge and it also allows larger laundry items as example to put bedding without force into the machine.
The operating manual of the machine is perfectly adequate for me.
This is how the machine is connected (for those who connect for the first time a washing machine), the preparation, HOW wipes laundry ;-), the information code in case of malfunction, technical specifications, fuel consumption, cleaning the dirt filter and the fabric filter, solutions in hardware, etc.
All illustrated partly and briefly described but descriptive enough.
If necessary you can use the manual. Also see:

To wash cycle:
The machine is equipped with its quiet 62dB (79dB during spinning)
Who now asks: "Is there also ne app for?" which one can answer: YES. Also this appliance is equipped with it (after our Braun toothbrush the second device in our household)
The machine has the so-called. SmartCheck. Comfortable error diagnosis via Smart Phone App. (SmartCheck detects and diagnoses errors early and has a smartphone with LED scanning simple troubleshooting) Have we never needed. Machine runs smoothly.
Likewise, you have the Last Memory function: If you want to wash several loads consecutively without changing the settings, you have no longer the washing program each time.
Last Memory stores the last setting used - even if the machine has been turned off
QuickTime Wash.
Washing clothes in 15 minutes short program (And it is clean !!!) The time setting (options: 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes) can be changed depending on the size of the load.
As usual, there are various settings:
# Foam active (means smoother and faster washing)
# Soaking, intensive, pre-wash, Soak + Intensive soaking + Prewash, Intensive + Prewash, Soak + Intensive + Prewash.
# Spin can also be selected with speed, rinse hold or pumping
# Several additional rinse cycles selectable
With the program selector the following must be selected:
# Cotton
# Easy to clean
# Quick Wash
# Intensive
# Mixed laundry
# Spots
# Save energy
# Outdoor
# Wool
# Handwash
# Drain / Spin
# Rinse Spin
We've used almost every program the machine. The time is here of 15 minutes at a quick clean, up to 4h depending on the program and setting.
The display is built up sufficiently large and clear.
The shape of the drum (streamlined) swirls clothes gently through the drum. Nothing hangs or verkarkt (eg BH) although I recommend a laundry bag for socks and bras. Just Sneakersocken find like their way to the door of the machine and thus the water flow at the seal. This will not spin and are pistschnass and easily spotted with detergent. A Wäschenetzt is so useful.
Everything on the machine looks high quality and was well made. Ranging from the hoses to the detergent container.
My Conclusion:
The machine holds a pile of laundry. This saves me a week at least. 2 extra machines.
It is energy efficient and technically high level. In addition, it is silent.
Operation is child's play of the hand. Nothing that any issues can be more openly despite there is a great manual.
The machine looks really chic, even if the appearance may play only a small role, should be the point here is not entirely ignored.
Functionality, design and price leadership vote, so from my side 5 Stars.
