Washing a load of laundry _15
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.
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 carry a warranty of ten years, and can
easily be replaced by a Service Technician if needed.

TREATMENT AUTHORITIES BEFORE USE
The total number of silver cycles run by the washer is displayed when pushing the Signal button and the
SilverCare™ button.
LU3 : less than 1000 times
LU2 : between 1000 to 2000 times
LU1 : between 2000 to 2999 times
LU0 : over 2999 times
You should replace the SilverCare™ kit when the display reads “LU0” as the electrodes are near the end of
their useful life. Contact 1-800-SAMSUNG.
You cannot choose the SilverCare™ option with the Wool cycle.
