FAQ's

Opening your dishwasher’s door mid-cycle isn’t recommended. If you do, depending on what stage of the programme your dishwasher’s at, hot water or steam will escape from the appliance, which might cause serious injury. It’s best not to open your dishwasher’s door while the appliance is running. 

Rinse aid is an agent which assists you to get the best washing and drying performance from your dishwasher. Rinse aid disperses water from the surface of your dishes during the final rinse and helps with the drying process. It prevents water droplets from drying on your dishes and leaving water marks. 

 

When the rinse aid light on your dishwasher comes on, it’s time to refill. The rinse aid reservoir is located on the inside of your dishwasher’s door, next to the detergent reservoir. Open the cover of the reservoir, pour in the rinse aid until the reservoir is full and close the cover.

If you want your dishwasher to finish its cycle at a later time, you can delay the start or set an end time to the selected programme on your dishwasher (depending on the model of your appliance). This is especially useful if the cost of electricity or water is lower at specific times of the day. 

 

To set a delayed programme, load your dishwasher and select the programme along with any additional functions. Press the Time Delay function button to set when you want your appliance to start. Close the door of your appliance. Once the time delay has ended, the selected programme will start automatically. While the Time Delay function is active, you cannot make changes to the washing programme, additional functions or the delay period.

 

To cancel the Time Delay function, open your dishwasher’s door and hold the Programme Selection/Programme Cancel buttons simultaneously for three seconds. Then close the door of your appliance and wait for the draining process to finish.

Be sure to use detergents that are specifically for dishwashers. There are three types of dishwasher detergent: 

- Granular or powder detergents

- Tablets or gel packs

- Liquid or gel detergents

 

Don’t use dish washing liquid, hand soap, bleach, vinegar or any other chemicals under any circumstances as these products reduce your dishwasher’s performance, cause metal pieces to rust, and may even shorten the lifespan of your appliance.

Check the manufacturer’s instructions before putting an item in the dishwasher. Unfortunately, not all items have this information on their labels. 

 

As a rule, avoid putting utensils that have stick-on parts, hand-painted dishes or porcelain items with gold or silver details in the dishwasher. Also, aluminium or aluminium-coated pots and pans can cause corrosion in your glassware. 

 

Here is a list of common kitchenware that you should avoid washing in the dishwasher: 

- Cast iron

- Crystal

- Hand-blown and hand-painted glass

- Wooden utensils 

- Non-stick pans 

- Copper pans 

- Soft plastic

- Aluminium utensils

- Disposable aluminium

- Gold-plated dishes

- Insulated mugs

- Anything with adhesives

- China (hand-painted or antique)

- Hand-painted ceramics/stoneware

- Enamel

- Pewter

Every Beko dishwasher has a unique serial number. It’s located on the right-hand side of your appliance's door frame.
