This guide is for owners of the Samsung WD11DB7B85GW/EU Washer Dryer, a smart appliance designed for efficient and intelligent laundry care. Its key strength lies in its AI-powered features, offering significant energy savings and optimized washing, though achieving maximum energy reduction through AI Energy Mode involves extended cycle times.
AI Energy Mode: Monitors and reduces energy consumption by up to 70% using Ecobubble™ technology with cool water and extended cycle times. This feature helps you save on utility bills.
Ecobubble™ Technology: Generates bubbles that penetrate fabrics faster, allowing effective cleaning in cool water and contributing to energy savings.
SpaceMax Design: Provides a larger drum capacity (11kg wash / 6kg dry) within standard external dimensions, enabling you to wash more laundry in fewer loads.
AI Wash: Utilizes advanced sensors to detect fabric weight and soil level, then intelligently optimizes water, detergent, rinse time, and spin speed for a thorough yet gentle wash.

The Samsung WD11DB7B85GW/EU excels in intelligent laundry management. When you activate AI Energy Mode, the machine leverages its Ecobubble™ technology to clean effectively at lower temperatures, automatically extending the wash cycle to achieve up to 70% energy reduction. This is ideal for those prioritizing environmental impact and long-term savings. For daily washes, AI Wash automatically senses your load, ensuring optimal resource use without guesswork, which means your clothes receive tailored care while conserving water and detergent. If you need a quick turnaround, the Super Speed cycle delivers clean clothes in just 39 minutes, perfect for smaller, lightly soiled loads. The SpaceMax Design with its generous 11kg wash drum means you can tackle larger family loads or bulkier items like bedding with ease, even if your laundry space is compact. Over time, Smart Control learns your preferences, making cycle selection intuitive and streamlining your routine. Remember that while the wash capacity is 11kg, the drying capacity is 6kg; for optimal drying, larger wash loads may need to be split or partially dried.
Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including transport bolts at the rear of the machine. Keep the bolts for future transport if needed.
Placement: Position the washer dryer on a firm, level surface. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the machine is perfectly stable and does not wobble.
Water Connection: Connect the cold water inlet hose securely to your cold water tap and to the machine's inlet valve. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
Drain Hose: Secure the drain hose into a standpipe or sink, ensuring it is properly routed to prevent kinks and maintain an adequate air gap.
Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
First Use: Before washing clothes, run an empty 'Drum Clean' or hot cycle with a small amount of detergent to clean the drum and internal components.
This washer dryer is designed with SpaceMax Design to fit within standard external dimensions, making it compatible with most laundry spaces. Its 'A Rated' energy efficiency ensures compatibility with modern energy standards. For smart features, ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection and a compatible smartphone to utilize the Smart Control functionalities.
Drum Clean Cycle: Run the dedicated 'Drum Clean' cycle regularly (e.g., monthly) to remove detergent residue and bacteria, preventing odors and maintaining hygiene.
Detergent Drawer: Clean the detergent dispenser drawer periodically to prevent build-up of detergent and fabric softener, which can cause blockages or mold.
Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to remove moisture and lint, preventing mold growth.
Drain Pump Filter: Periodically check and clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom front of the machine to remove lint, coins, or other small items that can cause drainage issues.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
