Samsung PowerFoam WF397ATPASU Quick Start Guide

To ensure optimal washing performance, load clothes loosely and evenly around the drum. Avoid overloading the machine, as this can affect the washing quality and may cause damage.
Check if the washing machine is properly plugged in and ensure that the door is firmly closed. Also, verify that the water supply is turned on and that the cycle settings are correctly selected.
To clean the detergent drawer, remove it from the washing machine and rinse it under warm water. Use a soft brush to remove any residue. Once clean, dry the drawer and place it back into the machine.
Regularly clean the drum, detergent drawer, and filters. Check hoses for leaks or signs of wear. Run a self-cleaning cycle monthly to prevent mold and mildew buildup.
Ensure the washing machine is level and stable on the floor. Check the load for balance and redistribute items if necessary. Avoid washing single, heavy items.
Select the PowerFoam option in combination with a suitable cycle for heavily soiled clothes. This feature enhances detergent dispersion for more effective cleaning.
Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs. Ensure the drain pump filter is clean by accessing it at the front of the machine. Clear any blockages to restore proper drainage.
Extended cycle times can be due to unbalanced loads or low water pressure. Ensure that the load is balanced and check the water supply for adequate pressure.
The lint filter is typically located near the bottom of the machine. Open the access panel, remove the filter, and rinse it under running water to remove lint and debris.
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. Common solutions include resetting the machine, checking connections, and ensuring proper water supply and drainage.
