Instructions on how to remove, clean and reinstall the filter in a Samsung vacuum cleaner

High-quality, regular care of your Samsung vacuum cleaner helps to maximize the uninterrupted operation of your household appliance. Particular attention is paid to filters, the cleanliness of which determines the suction power of the vacuum cleaner.

For each type of filter element (foam rubber, paper, carbon, cyclone type or aquafilter), a special cleaning algorithm is defined, compliance with which guarantees high-quality operation of the vacuum cleaner.

We'll tell you how to clean the filter in a Samsung vacuum cleaner below.

How to clean the filter element in a Samsung device?

To ensure the highest quality cleaning, modern Samsung vacuum cleaners equipped with a multi-stage filter system consisting of:

• bag (container) for collecting garbage,
• coarse and fine filters.

Cyclone (with dust container)

A cylindrical plastic container with a lid and handle, into which dust and debris from the air settles under the influence of centrifugal force, is called a cyclone filter (in Samsung vacuum cleaners, it is fixed on the side of the body).

Cleaning the flask is very simple:

1. Disconnect the device from the electrical network.
2. Pull the container out of the vacuum cleaner body by the handle.
3. Open the container, shake out the debris and dust.
4. Using a soft sponge and soap solution, clean the walls of the container from dirt and rinse it under running water.
5. After waiting for the container to dry completely, cover it with a lid and place it in its original place.

If water gets into the cyclone filter during cleaning, the household appliance must be turned off immediately, the container removed and cleaned. Otherwise, dust and debris, mixed with water, will be compressed and clog the filter element, which significantly reduces the suction power of the vacuum cleaner.

The process of cleaning the filter is in the video:

Aquafilter

The air filtration system using water (aquafilter) is a container partially (1/3) filled with water inserted into the body of the vacuum cleaner. Passing through the aquafilter, dust from the air is moistened and settles at the bottom of the container.

To clean the aqua filter, necessary:

• remove the container from the body of the household appliance;
• open the container;
• pour out dirty water;
• Rinse the container under running water.

NERA

The HEPA fine air filter traps the smallest (up to 0.6 microns) dust particles. You can find the HEPA filter on the back panel of the vacuum cleaner behind a special grille (it looks like a dense accordion made of fibrous or polymeric materials, placed in a plastic frame).

To clean the HEPA filter, it is necessary to carry out a number of sequential actions:

• disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical network;
• open the grille hiding the filter element;
• remove the filter accordion from the plastic housing;
• Gently clean the filter with a soft brush, then rinse under running water.

After cleaning, the filter accordion must be thoroughly dried. Only after drying is it placed back into the plastic case and then into the vacuum cleaner.

Foam rubber

A fine filter made of foam rubber is installed in front of the motor of a Samsung vacuum cleaner. Caring for the foam filter element is very simple:

1. Disconnect the household appliance from the electrical network.
2. Open the lid of the vacuum cleaner, take out the garbage collection bag (in some models, a plastic container is installed instead of a bag).
3. Under the dust collector there is a plastic frame with a handle, into which a foam filter element is inserted.
4. Remove the filter, moisten it with water, soap it with laundry soap, and rinse under running water.
5. The well-dried part is returned to its original place.

Carbonic

Samsung premium vacuum cleaners are equipped with a special carbon filter. This plastic form, filled with pressed carbon granules, traps not only dust particles, but also unpleasant odors (interestingly, the filter continues to work even when the vacuum cleaner is turned off).

Although the carbon filter It's quite expensive and can only be used once. The maximum that can slightly extend its service life is cleaning small dust particles from the outside of the case with a soft brush.

How to clean the dust container?

To maintain the most efficient operation of the vacuum cleaner, in addition to the filters, the dust collector must be cleaned.Depending on the model, a Samsung vacuum cleaner may be equipped with a paper or fabric bag to collect dust and debris.

Paper dust bags are disposable. Once filled, they are simply thrown away. Fabric trash bags can be used more than once.

To clean a cloth bag, necessary:

1. Remove the dust container from the housing (the device must first be disconnected from the power supply).
2. Carefully remove the plastic clip from the bag.
3. Covering the top with a plastic bag, shake out all dust and debris from the fabric bag.
4. Additionally, clean the fabric bag with a soft, damp brush or sponge.
5. Pull the edges of the clean dust bag together with a plastic clip and place the bag in its original place.

All work on cleaning the fabric dust collector is carried out outdoors or in the utility room.

How to insert the filter correctly?

A cleaned reusable filter or a new filter selected according to the model of the vacuum cleaner is installed in a previously cleaned seat.

A disposable paper bag is inserted into the holder frame. The HEPA fine filter must be installed in a plastic cartridge, fixed in the vacuum cleaner body, and then covered with a special grille.

The filter element must be inserted very carefully, being careful not to damage the plastic latches and holders. If difficulties arise during installation, you need to check whether the filter element is selected correctly by checking the vacuum cleaner manufacturer's instructions.

How often to clean?

To prevent the filter in the vacuum cleaner from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, it must be cleaned promptly. The dust collector (bag, container) is cleaned as it fills with debris. (the indicator on the body of the vacuum cleaner will tell you when exactly you need to clean).

Disposable paper bags are disposed of after each cleaning (the maximum period of use of a paper dust bag can be extended to two or three cleanings).

The aqua filter and cyclone type filter are cleaned after each cleaning, regardless of the degree of contamination or filling with debris. The HEPA filter is cleaned as it gets dirty, but at least once every three months.

Prevention measures

Extend the “life” of filters in a Samsung vacuum cleaner A few tips will help:

• Do not vacuum surfaces covered with large debris and fine construction dust (this rule will not only help extend the life of the filter elements, but will also protect the household appliance from serious damage);
• you need to carefully ensure that the filter and dust collector are installed exactly in their places (gaps reduce the suction force significantly);
• Cleaning is carried out as carefully as possible, without the use of hard brushes and aggressive household chemicals.

You should not save when buying new consumables for a vacuum cleaner (dust collector, filters). High-quality, original products will last much longer.

Adviсe

If necessary, The foam filter is very easy to replace with a new element, cut according to a pattern from dense foam rubber (a sponge for washing dishes is excellent).

If you rinse the foam filter in water with the addition of fabric softener, the vacuum cleaner will not only collect dust during the cleaning process, but will also additionally freshen the air.

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a new filter, before purchasing you need to clarify which model of Samsung vacuum cleaner it is intended for (information is indicated on the packaging of the filter element).

Especially dirty fabric dust collectors can be cleaned by washing them in an automatic machine.. To do this, place the bag, previously cleared of debris and dust, into the washing machine, set the quick wash mode, and add washing powder. After the dust collector has been thoroughly dried, it can be used again for its intended purpose.

Conclusion

Proper, timely cleaning of the filters in a vacuum cleaner is a guarantee of uninterrupted operation of the household appliance.
