PowerIntense steps for spotless dishwashing | Beko

Follow these PowerIntense steps and cleaning hacks for spotless dishwashing with less effort, smart loading, and reliable Beko performance.

A calmer clean after busy family meals

Weeknights often mean a full table and a fuller sink. Pasta bake baked on to the dish, water bottles from after‑school clubs, glasses from homework breaks. You want spotless dishwashing without fuss. With a few simple habits, plus the focused power of Beko’s PowerIntense feature, that stack turns into a steady, repeatable routine that saves time and money.

Beko leads Europe in large home appliances, and builds for long‑term reliability. PowerIntense delivers targeted spray pressure, for up to 5x better cleaning performance per zone, so tough pots do not hold up the rest of the load.

Your 8 PowerIntense steps for spotless dishwashing

1.       Pre‑load smart, skip the pre‑rinse
Scrape plates, do not rinse under the tap. Modern detergent works best with a little residue, and skipping the pre‑rinse saves water and time.

·       Scrape food into the bin, then load.

·       Soak only burnt‑on pans for a few minutes if needed.

·       Group similar soils together to match the programme.

1. Use the PowerIntense zone for the toughest jobs
   Give your dirtiest pots pride of place in the PowerIntense zone. That zone targets high pressure where it matters, ideal for casserole dishes, trays, and saucepans with baked‑on food. You get focused cleaning on tough items, while plates and glasses still come out clear and streak‑free.
2. Load for clear spray paths, not for cramming
   Water needs space to work. Angle plates toward the centre, face bowls down, and separate cutlery to avoid nesting. Keep tall trays at the sides so the spray arms spin freely. Which? advises leaving gaps for water to reach every surface and placing plastics away from heating elements for safer drying.

3. Match the programme to the mess
   Let the programme do the hard work. Use the intensive or heavy programme for the PowerIntense zone when tackling roast trays and baking dishes. Use eco for lightly soiled loads, ideal for overnight runs with lower energy use. Quick programmes suit weeknights when you need plates back on the table.

1. Dose detergent and rinse aid with care
   Right dosing drives spotless results. Follow the detergent box for water hardness, and keep the rinse aid topped up for streak‑free glasses. If your area has hard water, add dishwasher salt as directed to protect against limescale and improve wash quality.
2. Secure items so pressure works for you
   PowerIntense pressure tackles grime, so make sure items stay put. Clip long utensils flat on the top rack, angle bottles and travel cups to present open ends to the spray, and use cup racks for delicate glassware. Stable loading stops chipping and improves coverage.
3. Time your run to save money and water
   Wait for a full load to get the best value from each cycle. If your tariff offers off‑peak pricing, run overnight for lower costs and a fresh rack by morning. Beko’s SaveWater technology helps reduce consumption by up to 7.8 litres per cycle, so you protect your bills and the planet without changing your routine.
4. Keep filters and arms clean for steady results
   A few minutes of care locks in spotless dishwashing.

·       Rinse the filter weekly to remove trapped debris.

·       Wipe door seals and the lower edge of the door.

·       Check spray arm holes, clear any blockages with a toothpick.

Regular care keeps pressure consistent in the PowerIntense zone and across the whole tub. Beko appliances go through tough durability tests, so with light maintenance you enjoy reliable performance for years.

Why these PowerIntense steps work

·       Focus where it counts. PowerIntense concentrates spray on heavy soils, so you do not need to over‑wash the whole load to save one pan.

·       Efficient routines save resources. Skipping pre‑rinse and running full loads reduces water use and lowers energy bills.

·       Reliability reduces stress. Built by Europe’s number one large home appliances company, Beko pairs smart design with proven durability, so your evening reset feels calmer and more predictable.

Quick cleaning hacks to keep in your back pocket

·       Use the top rack for plastics and fine glass, away from direct heat.

·       Face knives down in the cutlery basket for safety, mix spoons and forks to avoid nesting.

·       Open the door slightly after the programme to release steam, then leave items to finish drying.

Spotless results, steady routines, and dependable help in the heart of your home, that is a Beko state of mind.
