What to do if dishes are not dry after using Beko DL1043W?
If your Beko Dishwasher leaves dishes not dry, ensure that you load all items properly, tilting them for good drainage and avoiding nesting. Also, make sure that the rinse aid dispenser is full by adding liquid rinse aid.
How to fix poor washing results in Beko DL1043W?
To improve poor washing results with your Beko Dishwasher, ensure you are using enough detergent, especially for full loads or hard water. Hard water may also require an increased water softener dosage, additional detergent, and a higher rinse agent dosage. Regularly check and clean the spray arms to remove any blockages. Load the dishwasher properly, ensuring water spray reaches all surfaces, and avoid overcrowding. Also, verify that the water pressure is sufficient and clean the filter system to remove any accumulated food. If you pre-wash items, rinse them thoroughly to remove any liquid dishwashing detergent. If using powder detergent, make sure it is fresh and stored properly. Make sure that water action is not blocked by dishes. Keep filter system clean.
Why does detergent cake in the dispenser of my Beko DL1043W Dishwasher?
If you notice detergent caking in the dispenser of your Beko Dishwasher, ensure the dispenser is dry before adding powder detergent and start the dishwasher immediately. If using gel detergent, don't let it sit too long before starting the dishwasher. Ensure the dispenser cover closes tightly and isn't overfilled. Avoid placing large items in front of the dispenser. Use fresh detergent, ideally within one to two months of purchase, and store it in a cool, dry place.
How to prevent chipping and breakage of dishes in Beko Dishwasher?
To address chipping and breakage of dishes and glasses in your Beko Dishwasher, carefully load dishes according to the instructions, ensuring glassware doesn't touch other dishes, and remove them carefully. If you only wash dishes every few days, use the pre-wash cycle daily or hand-rinse dishes before loading.

This document is a user's manual for a Beko DL1043W dishwasher. It provides comprehensive information on the appliance's specifications, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Beko DL1043W is a household dishwasher designed to clean dirty dishes. It features a water softening system to remove hardness from tap water, which improves washing effectiveness and prevents watermarks. The appliance supports various types of detergents, including powder, gel, and tablet detergents, as well as rinse aid and softening salt. It offers multiple wash programmes, including an Eco programme with prewash, and incorporates a Hot Air Drying feature for efficient drying. The dishwasher is equipped with upper and lower spray arms for thorough cleaning and a cutlery basket for organizing utensils.
Installation: The dishwasher should be installed in a position that allows for easy loading and unloading. It requires an earthed electrical connection and a water supply with appropriate pressure. The water inlet hose must be connected using the new hose set provided, and the drain hose should be fitted to the drainage pipe without bending, ensuring it is secure and within the specified height range. Proper leveling of the appliance is crucial for correct door closure and sealing.
Before First Use: It is recommended to operate the dishwasher on the Eco programme with prewash before loading dishes for the first time. Before the very first wash, 1 liter of water should be added to the salt container.
Water Hardness Adjustment: The dishwasher's water softening system needs to be set according to the local water hardness level. This can be determined using a provided test strip or by contacting the local Water Board. The adjustment process involves a specific sequence of button presses to enter the setting mode and select the appropriate hardness level (Level 1 to Level 6). If water hardness is above 80 °dF or if well water is used, filters and water purification devices are recommended. For water hardness below 8°dF, salt is not necessary, and the "No Salt Warning Indicator" may illuminate continuously if set to Level 1.
Detergent Use: Only special pelletized dishwasher salt should be used to soften hard water. Salt should be added immediately before starting a complete washing programme, ensuring 1 liter of water has been added to the salt container. The detergent dispenser has a main container (A) for 25cm³ (for full, dirty loads) or 15cm³ (for less full, slightly soiled loads) and a small container (B) for 5cm³ (for dishes left unwashed for a long time). The lid of the detergent dispenser should be closed with a clicking sound.
Rinse Aid: Rinse aid is essential for preventing watermarks and scale, and for improving washing and drying efficiency. The rinse aid dispenser regulator (C) can be adjusted between levels 1 and 6 (factory pre-set to 4) to control the amount of rinse aid dispensed. The dispenser should be filled to the 'max' mark, and the lid (E) closed securely.
Loading the Dishwasher: Dishes should be scraped of large food scraps before loading. Large or heavily soiled items go in the lower basket, while small, light, or delicate articles go in the upper basket. Forks, small and medium knives, and spoons are placed in the cutlery basket, with handles down for spoons and forks, and handles up for knives to prevent injury. Tall, narrow items should be placed in the middle racks. Long-stemmed glasses should lean against the basket, racks, or supports, not against other dishes. The folding plate support rods in the lower basket can be adjusted to accommodate larger items like saucepans and bowls. The upper basket height can be adjusted by releasing latches and repositioning the wheels.
Operating the Dishwasher: To start a programme: turn on the water tap, open the door, check spray arm rotation, add detergent, close the door, press the on/off button, check salt and rinse aid levels, select the programme, and press the start/stop button. The dishwasher will automatically stop if the door is opened during operation, but care should be taken as steam and hot water may escape. After the programme finishes, dishes should be allowed to cool for 15-30 minutes, and leaving the door ajar can improve drying results. The lower basket should be unloaded first to prevent water drops from falling onto dishes in the upper basket.
Cleaning the Machine: Regular cleaning of the dishwasher ensures a longer product life and reduces problems. Spray arms and filters should be cleaned at least once a week. The appliance should be unplugged, and the water supply turned off before cleaning. The door seal and control panel should be cleaned with a neutral detergent and a damp cloth; abrasive detergents should not be used. If the appliance will not be used for a long time, it should be switched off, the water turned off, and the door left ajar.
Cleaning Filters and Spray Arms: The dishwasher has three filters: main, coarse, and micro. To clean them, the coarse and micro filter assembly is removed by turning it anti-clockwise and lifting it up. The coarse filter is then pulled out by pressing two tongues inwards, and the main filter is pulled off. All three filters should be cleaned under running tap water with a brush. They must be reinserted correctly, ensuring marks align and the coarse filter is turned clockwise until a clicking sound is heard. The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
The upper spray arm is removed by turning its nut anti-clockwise. Food particles should be flushed away, and the arm reinserted by screwing the nut clockwise until a clicking sound is heard. The lower spray arm is removed by releasing its catches and pulling it upwards. After flushing away food particles, it should be reinserted into its original position.
Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting guide to address common issues such as spotting/filming/poor cleaning results (e.g., insufficient detergent, hard water, dirty spray arms, improper loading, insufficient water fill, dirty filters, oversudsing, overcrowded dishwasher), small particles left on items (e.g., insufficient water fill, old detergent, depleted rinse aid), dishes not dry (e.g., improper loading, depleted rinse aid), scratches on glassware (e.g., water/chemical reaction, poor rinsing, overloading, excessive temperature), detergent cakes in dispenser (e.g., damp powder detergent, gel detergent left too long, faulty cover, improper loading, old detergent), chipping and breakage of dishes/glasses (e.g., improper loading), and odor in dishwasher (e.g., dishes washed infrequently, dirty filter system). Solutions are provided for each issue, such as adjusting detergent/rinse aid amounts, cleaning components, checking water pressure, and proper loading techniques.
