Operating a washing machine is straightforward. Reading the manual once is enough to understand how to use the appliance, and you'll have no problems. Even those who have previously used other brands of washing machine will definitely understand how to turn on a Beko washing machine. For beginners, we'll describe how the machine starts up, discuss how to set the desired mode, and begin washing.
Getting Started Right
It's crucial to properly operate your washing machine for the first time after purchase. Before installing the machine, be sure to remove the shipping bolts. These bolts secure the drum, protecting it from damage during transport. Next, connect the machine to the power lines and check the connections for leaks.
After checking the washing machine's readiness, you can start the wash cycle. Open the door and load the laundry into the drum. Then, pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser. It's important not to exceed the dosage indicated on the packaging (usually 100 grams per wash cycle).
The dispenser has several compartments. One is for detergent, the other for fabric softener. Be sure to take this into account when loading each product into its respective compartment. Next, plug the machine in, press the power button, turn the dial to the desired setting, and press the "Start" button.
Experts recommend running the machine "idle" for the first time, with an empty drum but with powder, so that the equipment is "washed" from the inside.
If the machine refuses to start after starting the cycle, you may not have closed the door properly. Check to see if the door is "locked." The user's main task during the first wash is to ensure that the machine operates normally - it does not make noise, does not hum, does not leak, and fills and drains water properly.
So, the first time you run a wash, you should do so without loading any clothes into the drum, but with detergent. This will rinse the machine of any factory-installed dirt, and the unpleasant chemical odor that comes with new washing machines will dissipate. Afterward, the machine will be ready to receive your load of clothes for cleaning.
Setting up the washing algorithm
The first wash is performed using any of the long programs without any laundry in the drum. Next, the user will need to select the optimal cleaning mode based on the type of fabric and the degree of soiling. Now that we've figured out how to turn on a Beko washing machine, how do you set the desired wash parameters?
Inexperienced users can be overwhelmed by the numerous buttons, confusing icons, indicators, and touch sensors. That's why it's important to read the manual for your specific Beko washing machine model first, understand the meaning of the symbols on the control panel, the functions of the LEDs, and the functions of the additional buttons.
The standard procedure for starting an automatic machine:
plug the washing machine into the power supply;
open the valve responsible for the water supply;
Place a batch of items into the drum;
close the hatch tightly;
pull out the detergent drawer;
add powder, pour in rinse aid (if necessary);
press the machine's network key;
Use the selector knob to select the desired washing program;
Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button.
Once the machine has finished washing, don't try to open the door immediately. The door will unlock only a few minutes after the cycle is complete.
Carefully select the washing cycle. Washing wool on the "Cotton" cycle is unlikely to prevent deformation. Delicate fabrics require special washing parameters, while heavier fabrics require different settings.
Adding detergents
There are also specific instructions regarding the dosage of detergent and fabric softener. It's important not to add too much or too little detergent, as this will reduce the washing results.
The dosage of the ingredients is indicated on their packaging, and special measuring devices (a cup or spoon) will help you avoid mistakes in the amount.
It's important to place the detergent in the correct compartment. The left compartment of the Beko washing machine dispenser holds the main wash detergent, the center compartment holds the rinse aid, and the right compartment is used for the Prewash cycle.
Is it possible to damage the equipment?
In fact, using a Beko automatic washing machine is quite simple. The key is to follow the basic operating instructions. It's crucial to read the instructions for your specific Beko washing machine model, understand its operating features, and remember the basic rules.
A few tips for beginners:
do not exceed the maximum permissible load weight, but also do not “drive” the machine with a practically empty drum;
Wipe down the washing machine after the cycle is complete, leave the door open and the dispenser pulled out for ventilation;
do not place anything on the machine;
Don't try to adjust the cycle settings after the machine has filled with water and started washing. This could cause electronic malfunctions.
Measure the hardness of your tap water and purchase detergents that will help prevent limescale buildup in your washing machine's internals.
Now it's clear how to start a Beko automatic washing machine. It's important not only to install and connect the equipment correctly, but also to follow basic recommendations for further use: avoid overloading the machine, select a wash cycle based on the laundry loaded, and purchase high-quality detergents.
