Instructions and recommendations for cleaning the drum in a Samsung washing machine

The fastest programs

Most of the basic programs mentioned have a significant drawback - they last from an hour to three hours. A long cycle does not always justify the time spent, water and energy consumption, which is why Beko machines offer express washing. The following modes will take a minimum of time:

• "Mini". Cotton fabrics with modest stains can be washed in 39 minutes. The standard temperature is fixed at 30 degrees, but you can change the mark within a scale from 0 to 90. Load a full drum with ease.
• "Mini 14`". To run the cycle in 14 minutes, you will have to limit the load to 2 kg and the temperature to 30 degrees.
• “Mix 40°C.” The type of fabric is not important here, since a universal range is set with medium spin and a temperature of 40 degrees.

Some BEKO models have a button on the dashboard to start a 17-minute refreshing wash. It is designed for lightly soiled items and is necessary for adding freshness, additional rinsing or eliminating unpleasant odors for stale clothes. It is considered universal and suitable for all types of fabric.

Tips for carrying out complex cleanings

Mold, unpleasant odors and dirt are problems that every equipment owner faces. You should regularly maintain the cleanliness of the elements located inside the device.

Washing the drum

Combining disinfectants with idle circulation is one possible solution to this problem. Regular citric acid can also be used. It is recommended to clean the rubber band only by hand.

The simplest processing option requires the following requirements:

• Carefully push the folds apart.
• Wash the cuff around the circumference. We use a sponge, soap, warm water.
• Wipe the surface of the part dry.

A solution of copper sulfate is used if the owner notices the appearance of mold spots. Another acceptable remedy is to prepare a cleaning paste that includes water and baking soda in equal proportions.

The purpose of the composition is to process not only rubber bands, but also the entire drum. The machines are kept in this position for two hours, then we wipe them with a sponge and start the long-term wash mode.

Working with filters and drainage hoses

An unpleasant odor is often caused by dirt particles that remain virtually invisible to the human eye. This is especially true for debris that could not be removed from clothing in time before being placed inside. It is recommended to clean drain filters at least once every three months. If the exploitation is active, then the work is carried out more often.

The operation involves removing the protective panel and a small container into which water flows. You can protect the floor with a cloth. The filter is unscrewed using counterclockwise movements. Then there is washing, with water under high pressure, the accumulated debris is removed from the hole.

When cleaning, the hose is simply disconnected from the parts to which it previously fits. The design and features of the part depend on which specific model of equipment is used by a particular buyer. If there are vertical models, the hose can only be reached using the side cover.

What other useful features does the Beko SMA have?

Manufacturers are constantly improving washing machines, giving them new functions. Thanks to new developments, Beko machines have acquired the following capabilities:

How to use self-cleaning?

Starting self-cleaning of the washing machine should be carried out at the request of the equipment or upon independent choice. You need to act according to the following algorithm:

1. 
   Check that the drum is empty.

2. Turn on the power.
3. Set the switch so that the pointer is near the “Eco drum cleaning” mode. Typically this mode is located at the bottom right of the switch.
4. Click "Start".
5. The washing machine will automatically start the washing mode at a temperature of +70°C and minimum spin.

Before starting eco-cleaning, it is recommended to clean the drain filter. This will increase the quality of the processing performed.

You can learn about launching the “Eco Drum Cleaning” mode from the video:

Why is cleaning necessary?

The drum, tank, heating element and other elements of the washing machine that are directly involved in the washing process are prone to the formation of limescale and other contaminants.

As a result, scale forms on surfaces, onto which lint from clothing , incompletely dissolved components of washing powder, etc.

Even when the visible part of the drum is dry and clean, a moist environment remains between it and the tank, allowing dirt to persist and even mold to appear if the room is not properly ventilated.

This creates favorable conditions for the development of pathogenic microorganisms in conditions of dampness and the presence of pollution, and contributes to the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

Some models of Samsung washing machines have a built-in ECO cleaning system ; for others, it is advisable to use special preparations.

This treatment can prevent equipment breakdown and extend the life of the device. The drum should be cleaned regularly.

Auxiliary modes

In addition to the programs described, Gorenye washing machines have auxiliary, independent options in their memory. You can run such modes when there is no need for a full cycle, or in a situation where you need an addition to the main wash.

• Intensive soaking. When choosing this option, “soapy” water flows to the laundry from below and above. Due to this, the fabric is saturated faster.
• Prewash. Necessary when clothes have difficult stains.
• Water is a plus. Allows you to add multiple rinse cycles.
• Mitigation. By launching the function, you can not only soften, but also starch things and saturate them. The mode ends with a spin; you can connect the “Water Plus” option.

Some Gorenje models have the ability to create custom programs.

You can record your own washing settings in the intelligence. User modes can be adjusted as necessary.
