To use the Eco Tub feature, which is a self-cleaning course designed to maintain the cleanliness of your washing machine's tub, you follow a simple set of steps on the control panel. This process helps remove detergent residue and dirt buildup, ensuring your machine stays fresh and performs efficiently.
Steps to Use the Eco Tub Course
Using the Eco Tub or Eco Drum Clean feature on compatible washing machines, like those from Samsung, is straightforward. The following steps are based on the provided reference for a Samsung machine:
- Ensure the tub is empty: Before starting the cycle, make sure there are no clothes or other items inside the washing machine drum.
- Press the 'POWER' button: Turn on your washing machine.
- Press the 'Cycle' button and select the 'Eco Tub' course: Navigate through the available cycles using the 'Cycle' button until 'Eco Tub' (or 'Eco Drum Clean') is selected on the display.
- Press the 'START/PAUSE' button: Initiate the selected cleaning cycle.
- The machine will start cleaning: The washing machine will now begin its specialized cleaning process, often involving high-speed spinning and specific water levels and temperatures to clean the tub.
Note: The specific button names and display might vary slightly depending on your washing machine model. Always consult your user manual for the most accurate instructions.
This automated cleaning cycle is a key part of maintaining your washing machine, preventing odors and ensuring hygienic washing conditions for your laundry. It's typically recommended to run this cycle periodically, such as every 40 washes, to keep the tub in optimal condition.
