Beko DVN05R20W user manual

Here are the general steps for using your Beko dishwasher for the first time:
1. Installation: Ensure your dishwasher is properly installed. This should be done by a professional to guarantee all water connections, electrical connections and placements are correct.
2. Power On: Connect your dishwasher to a power source and turn it on.
3. Detergent Dispenser: Fill the detergent dispenser with the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent. If your Beko machine has an additional compartment for rinse aid, fill it as well.
4. Load Dishes: Load your dishes into the dishwasher, making sure they’re properly placed and not blocking the spray arms. Load heavily soiled items in the lower basket and more delicate items in the upper basket.
5. Select a Program: Your Beko dishwasher will have a number of programs to choose from. These might range from "Eco" for energy saving, "Intensive" for heavily soiled dishes, to "Quick & Shine" for a faster wash. Consult your user manual for more information about the programs your specific model offers.
6. Start the Dishwasher: Close the dishwasher door and press the start button. The machine will begin working. The remaining time might be shown on a display.
7. Unloading: When the cycle is finished, wait a few minutes before opening the door to allow steam to dissipate. Unload the lower basket first to prevent water from upper basket falling onto the dishes below.
8. Safety Measures: Keep children away from detergent and the dishwasher when it's running, as the door can become hot.
Remember, always consult your user's manual for specific instructions related to your specific model of Beko dishwasher before using it for the first time.

The symbols on a dishwasher vary depending on the manufacturer and model. However, some common symbols found on most dishwashers include:
1. Power/On-Off: This symbol indicates the power button or switch to turn the dishwasher on or off.
2. Start/Pause: This symbol represents the button that starts or pauses the dishwasher cycle.
3. Program Selection: Dishwashers often have different program options, such as Normal, Eco, Quick, or Intensive. These symbols are used to select the desired program.
4. Delayed Start: This symbol allows you to set a delayed start time, so the dishwasher will begin operating at a later specified time.
5. Rinse Aid Indicator: This symbol reminds users to refill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Wash Cycle Indicator: Some dishwashers have symbols or lights to indicate the current wash cycle status, such as pre-wash, main wash, rinse, or drying.
7. Temperature Settings: Symbols for temperature settings, such as high, medium, or low, might be present to adjust the water temperature during the cleaning process.
8. Adjustable Racks/Trays: If the dishwasher has adjustable racks or trays, symbols indicating their movement or position may be included.
It is important to consult the dishwasher's user manual for specific symbol interpretations related to your particular model.

There could be a few reasons why your Beko dishwasher is not drying properly:
1. Incorrect settings: Make sure that you have selected the appropriate drying cycle on your dishwasher. Some models have a separate drying cycle or an option to enable dry heat.
2. Rinse aid is not being used: Ensure that you have filled the rinse aid dispenser in your dishwasher. Rinse aid helps to remove water spots and speed up the drying process.
3. Clogged spray arms: If the spray arms inside your dishwasher are clogged with debris or mineral deposits, it can affect the distribution of water and hinder the drying process. Clean the spray arms regularly to ensure proper water flow.
4. Overloading the dishwasher: If you are overloading the dishwasher by placing too many dishes or items too close together, it can prevent the hot air from circulating properly during the drying cycle. Try reducing the number of items in each load and spacing them out to allow for better airflow.
5. Temperature issue: Check if the water heater in your home is set to a suitable temperature. If the water entering the dishwasher is not hot enough, it can affect the drying process. Adjust the water heater temperature accordingly.
6. Malfunctioning heating element: The heating element in your dishwasher is responsible for providing the necessary heat for drying. If it is defective or damaged, it may not be able to generate enough heat to dry your dishes properly. In this case, you may need to contact a professional technician to replace the heating element.
If none of these solutions solve the problem, it may be advisable to consult the user manual or contact Beko customer support for further assistance.

There are several possible reasons why your Beko dishwasher keeps asking for salt:
1. Insufficient salt level: The dishwasher uses salt to soften the water and prevent limescale buildup. If the salt level is low or empty, the dishwasher may prompt you to add more salt.
2. Incorrect salt type or quality: It is important to use the correct type of dishwasher salt recommended by the manufacturer. If you are using a different type of salt or low-quality salt, it may not dissolve properly, causing the dishwasher to keep asking for more.
3. Salt dispenser blockage: The salt dispenser or its cap may be blocked or clogged, preventing the salt from being dispensed properly. This can lead to insufficient salt levels and trigger the dishwasher to ask for more salt.
4. Faulty or malfunctioning salt sensor: The dishwasher has a sensor that determines the salt level in the machine. If this sensor is faulty or malfunctioning, it may give inaccurate readings and prompt for more salt even when there is enough present.
5. Water hardness level: If your water supply is particularly hard, it may require more salt to soften the water, leading the dishwasher to ask for additional salt more frequently.
To address this issue, you can try the following steps:
1. Check and refill the dishwasher salt reservoir with the correct type of salt recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Make sure the salt dispenser and its cap are not blocked and are functioning properly.
3. Clean the salt chamber to remove any potential blockages.
4. If the problem persists, it is recommended to consult the appliance manual or contact Beko customer support for further assistance or to arrange a technician visit if necessary.
