Washing modes of the Beko washing machine
Operating Beko washing machines is as convenient as possible. All special programs are signed, there are no unclear symbols or icons on the panel. Let's figure out what washing modes of the Beko washing machine are programmed in the “intelligence”, how long it takes to complete them, and what fabrics they are intended for.
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.
Support programs
Each Beko washing machine has additional options that are connected to the main process. These are “Pre-wash” or “Soak”, “Additional rinse”, “Drying”, etc. Auxiliary programs are necessary to achieve maximum effect when cleaning laundry.
The meaning of prewash is that the laundry first lies in a solution of water and powder. The washing machine drum sometimes spins a couple of revolutions, and then “freezes” in place again.Thanks to soaking, it is possible to soften difficult stains and ensure their complete removal during the main wash. The auxiliary mode lasts from 15 to 40 minutes, it all depends on the Beko machine model.
Intensive rinsing allows you to improve the care of your clothes. By starting the mode, you can remove any remaining detergent from the fabric fibers. The standard stage of the cycle lasts from 10 minutes to half an hour, the “Extra Rinse” can take 50 minutes.
The drying mode is available on expensive Beko washing machines. The machines are equipped with an additional heating element and a fan that distributes the air inside. Things dry directly in the drum. The user can only get clean clothes after the specified washing time.
Auxiliary programs allow you to provide better care for your laundry and achieve the maximum effect from washing.
Useful Algorithms
Today, washing machines are constantly being equipped with new features and additions, which makes them more attractive in the eyes of buyers. Manufacturers try to “equip” their equipment as much as possible. Beko washing machines boast the following useful options:
- Leak protection. Sensors constantly monitor the water level. If the permissible level is exceeded, the unit starts draining;
- Restart. If the power supply is turned off, the user has the opportunity to resume the cycle exactly at the stage where the operation of the machine was interrupted;
- Blocking. The control panel turns off during the wash cycle. This will protect the equipment from accidental, unnecessary clicks;
- Anti-wool. The system will clean hair from clothes;
- A Allows you to use detergent as sparingly as possible;
- A Imbalance control system. Thanks to this, the laundry does not wrinkle.
Many users do not know about the capabilities of their washing machine, running only a couple of standard modes. Therefore, you should carefully study the instructions to note the necessary and useful functions for yourself.
How to set the program?
The user manual describes the algorithm for starting the desired washing mode. You can select a program with automatically set parameters (temperature, cycle duration, spin speed) or adjust the conditions at your discretion.
It is possible to take the basic mode as a basis and add the necessary options, change the water heating temperature, and the spin speed.
The washing program is selected using the selector knob. The temperature is set by turning the second switch, spin by pressing the key. Then the “Start” button is pressed. The duration of a cycle consists of the time of all processes included in it.

One photo of the machine. The description was copied from another site and does not correspond to the model. So it was not possible to find out the questions of interest. In particular, is there a mode without spinning, because the drum rotates at very high speeds and does not seem to decrease anywhere.
