How to Use a Beko Washing Machine

A Beko washing machine is designed to make laundry day simple and efficient, but if you’re new to your appliance or want to get the best results, a quick guide can help. Here’s everything you need to know to get started and keep your clothes looking their best.

1. Preparing Your Machine

Check Connections: Make sure the water hoses are tightly connected, the drain hose is in place, and the machine is plugged in.
Turn On the Tap: Open the water tap fully to ensure proper water flow.
Power Up: Plug in your machine and switch it on at the socket.

2. Loading the Laundry

Sort Clothes: Separate laundry by colour, fabric type, and care label instructions for best results.
Do Not Overload: Check your model’s capacity and avoid overfilling the drum to ensure thorough cleaning and prevent damage.
Place Laundry: Open the door and load your clothes loosely inside the drum.

3. Adding Detergent and Softener

Detergent Drawer: Pull out the detergent drawer and add washing powder or liquid to the main wash compartment. Use the pre-wash and fabric softener compartments as needed.
Follow Dosage Guidelines: Always use the correct amount of detergent for your load size and soil level—check the detergent packaging for advice.

4. Selecting a Programme

Programme Selection Knob: Turn the knob to choose the right wash cycle for your laundry. Common programmes include:

Cottons: For sheets, towels, and heavily soiled items.
Synthetics: For shirts, blouses, and mixed fabrics.
Woollens/Hand Wash: For delicate or woollen garments.

Refer to the Table: Use the programme and temperature table in your user manual for guidance on the best settings for each fabric type.

5. Adjusting Settings

Temperature: Use the temperature button to select the desired water temperature for your load.
Spin Speed: Adjust the spin speed to suit your fabric—lower speeds for delicates, higher for towels and cottons.
Extra Functions: Activate extra rinse, pre-wash, or other auxiliary functions as needed using the relevant buttons.

6. Starting the Wash

Start/Pause Button: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the wash cycle. The door will lock automatically, and the programme will start.

7. After the Cycle

End of Programme: When the cycle finishes, the machine will signal (usually with a beep or light).
Remove Laundry: Open the door and take out your clothes promptly to prevent creasing and odours.
Leave Door Open: Allow the drum to air out between washes to keep it fresh.

Tips for Efficient Washing

Wash lightly soiled laundry at lower temperatures to save energy.
Use faster programmes for small loads.
Clean the detergent drawer and drum regularly for optimal performance.
