Washing a Load of Laundry FOR SILVERCARE™ WASHING (select models) 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 washing machine. 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) without the need for 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. This process removed or killed greater than 99.9% of tested bacteria. Samsung's SilverCare™ Technology provides a 92% energy savings over hot water sanitization. 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 sanitization that is normally a concern with those types of articles. The silver plates carry a warranty of ten years, and can easily be replaced by a Service Technician if so needed. 1. Load the washer. 2. Press the Power button. 3.

Clothes Washer Owner’s Instructions
FOR SILVERCARE™ WASHING (select models)
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 washing machine.
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) without the need for 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.
This process removed or killed greater than 99.9% of tested bacteria.
Samsung’s SilverCare™ Technology provides a 92% energy savings over hot water sanitization. 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 sanitization that is normally a concern with those
types of articles. The silver plates carry a warranty of ten years, and can easily be replaced by a Service
Technician if so needed.
