Running programs

The symbols on the control panel look more stylish, the icons take up less space, but users are often confused and cannot decide which mode the symbol corresponds to. To decrypt, you constantly need instructions for the machine. Moreover, the drawings are not standardized, and each manufacturer creates them at their own discretion. This is why it is so difficult to switch from a machine of one brand to a model of another brand.

As for Beko washing machines, their control panel is full of inscriptions. Perhaps because of this, the machine does not look so stylish and impressive, but the user does not get confused in the programs. However, you will have to find out the description of the modes, namely such parameters as: washing time, water heating temperature, spin speed. Before starting the “cycle”, you should understand the purpose of special programs.

It is important to select a washing mode based on the type of fabric and the intensity of contamination.

Let's present a description of the special. programs found on Beko machines.

Cotton. Designed for washing cotton linen, the water heating temperature varies from 60 to 90 degrees. Ideal for cleaning heavily soiled durable fabrics. Spinning of things occurs at maximum speed. The cycle duration is approximately 2-2.5 hours.
Eco-cotton. A program designed for washing cotton fabrics with minimal electrical energy consumption. The duration of the cycle is about three hours.
Dark fabrics. This mode is ideal for synthetic and cotton items in matching shades. The water is heated to a maximum of 40°C, thereby preventing the products from shedding. Washing time – 1 hour 40 minutes.
Synthetics. The program starts when washing synthetic clothes and combined fabrics. The moderate heating temperature of the liquid prevents shedding and deformation. Cycle duration is 105-120 minutes.
Shirts. The water is heated to a maximum of 40°C, spinning is performed at low speed. The program prevents the formation of wrinkles on shirts. Washing takes approximately 2 hours.
Mix 40. General mode in which there is no need to separate laundry into batches according to fabric type. Can be used for washing both synthetics and cotton. The cycle duration is adjustable.
Express. Suitable for lightly soiled items. The water warms up to 40°C, the spin speed can be adjusted. Washing takes about one and a half hours.
Pooh. Special program for cleaning blankets and outerwear with appropriate filling. Can be used to “scroll” regular products. Washing time – 60 minutes.
Sport. Used for cleaning sports uniforms. Suitable for removing hard-to-wash stains and coping with the unpleasant odor of sweat. Cycle duration is from 100 to 140 minutes.
Mini. The mode starts when a small batch of lightly soiled laundry is loaded into the machine. The operating time of the washing machine is from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the water heating temperature set by the user.
Handwash. Program for gentle care of delicate fabrics. Prevents item deformation and wear. The cycle lasts approximately 40-55 minutes.
Wool. The mode is designed specifically for cleaning woolen products. The “dumping” of the material is eliminated due to the slow rotation of the drum. Washing time is about 70 minutes.
Kids' things. Involves thorough rinsing of laundry. Washing takes place in hot water, cycle duration is 2 hours 40 minutes.
Self-cleaning. The mode required for the washing machine to be “washed” from the inside. It starts "idle". The program execution time is 2 hours.
Jeans. Ideal for denim items, eliminates shedding of products. The duration of the mode is 100-105 minutes.
Refreshing wash. For lightly soiled clothes. Fights unpleasant odors. The machine runs for only 17 minutes.
Economy mode. Wash in cool water (20°C), suitable for slightly dirty laundry. It is advisable to replace the powder with a readily soluble liquid product. Cycle duration is 100 minutes.

The duration of the cycles is approximate, in fact the time may “shift” on different Beko models. The exact washing duration, as well as the water heating temperature and spin speed when choosing a specific program, should be found in the instructions for the washing machine.

Technical launch

After checking the readiness of the machine and studying the instructions, you can start starting the equipment. To start washing, just plug the power cord into the outlet, open the valve on the water pipe, load the laundry into the drum and press the start button. But it’s better not to rush into things, but to carry out a technical cycle.

By technical start we mean a “idle” wash, that is, a cycle with an empty drum. This will help with two tasks at once:

The factory lubricant will be washed off from the internal surfaces of the machine, due to which the unpleasant odor will disappear;
You can safely check the operation of the machine (water intake, drain function, noise level, presence of increased vibration, etc.).

Beko's first launch is carried out without laundry, but with detergent!

During the test wash, laundry is not placed, as there is a high probability of damaging the items with the grease remaining in the drum or not washing the clothes due to a manufacturing defect. It’s better not to take risks, but to check the machine idle. Detergent, on the contrary, must be added to clean the unit from dirt and odors.

If at the first start a leak, a program failure or other problems in the system are detected, the cycle is forcibly stopped, and a service center specialist is called to your home. Remember that most manufacturers, including Beko, provide free one-year maintenance under warranty.

Let's describe the main modes

The first question that worries all housewives concerns the available modes. Knowing what preset programs are in the machine’s arsenal, it is easier to plan the wash and not spoil the laundry with high temperatures or excessive spinning. Getting to know the main buttons on the dashboard will help you avoid mistakes.

"40`40°". This mode offers to reduce the washing time by half and get clean laundry not in 80, but in 40 minutes. Speed is achieved through increased speed and maintaining a temperature of 40 degrees throughout the entire cycle.

Important! The temperature range and spin force may vary on different VEKO models, so it won’t hurt to read the attached instructions first.

"Delicate wash". It is distinguished by smooth rotations, minimal spin, abundant water supply and low temperature, which allows you to protect easily spoiled knitwear and viscose from color fading and abrasion.
"Baby clothes". The name speaks for itself: this program is designed for washing clothes for children. Its use is also recommended for allergy sufferers. The secret is in several rinsing cycles.
"Dark fabrics" To maintain a rich black color, it is suggested to select a mode with a large volume of water and a low spin intensity. Another recommendation is to use liquid detergent for dark items.
"Handwash". For particularly delicate fabrics, such as silk and cashmere, it is better to choose the manual mode with a reduced amount of water. Thanks to the half-filled tank, there is no increased absorption, deformation or stretching.
"Wool". For woolen clothes, select the appropriate button, which allows you to carefully clean the fabric without forming pills.
"Pooh." Washing machines with a capacity of 9 kg or more offer special care for items filled with down and feathers. High-quality cleaning is achieved with the removal of feather mites and the remains of their vital activity.
"Shirts." The shirt shown on the panel is a program that washes problem areas without damaging the fabric or causing severe creasing. An ideal balance is maintained: minimal spin and low temperature within 30-40°.
"Fitness". Provides complete cleaning of sportswear made from cotton and synthetics. Wash for an hour at 40°.
"Eco 20°C". Designed for cotton fabrics with minimal soiling. Removes stains faster and saves up to 80% energy consumption compared to the standard Cotton mode. The powder in the form of a gel will enhance the cleansing effect.

Most models from VEKO also have a self-cleaning program. It lasts about two hours, during which a comprehensive treatment of the drum, hoses, garbage filter and dispensary takes place. The cycle takes place without laundry or detergents, and a high degree of purification is determined by heating the water to 70°.
