Setup and Installation
Replacing your dishwasher's lower basket is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to correctly install the new Beko lower basket:
- Preparation: Ensure your dishwasher is empty and turned off. Open the dishwasher door completely.
- Remove Old Basket: Carefully slide out the old lower basket from the dishwasher rails. If it's stuck, check for any obstructions or debris.
- Inspect Rails: Clean the dishwasher rails if necessary, removing any food particles or residue that might hinder the new basket's movement.
- Verify Dimensions: Before inserting the new basket, it is highly recommended to measure your dishwasher's interior space and compare it with the basket's dimensions to confirm a proper fit.

Image 4: Measurement of the basket's height, approximately 50 cm. This ensures the basket clears the upper spray arm and upper rack.
- Insert New Basket: Gently slide the new Beko lower basket onto the dishwasher rails. Ensure the wheels align correctly with the tracks and the basket moves smoothly without resistance.
- Test Movement: Push and pull the basket a few times to confirm it slides in and out easily and securely.
Operating (Proper Loading)
To maximize cleaning performance and prevent damage, follow these guidelines for loading your lower basket:
- Place larger, heavily soiled items such as dinner plates, serving dishes, and pots in the lower basket.
- Ensure items do not block the spray arm's rotation. Tall items should be placed towards the sides or back.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket, as this can prevent water and detergent from reaching all surfaces, leading to poor cleaning results.
- Place items with concave surfaces (e.g., bowls) face down to allow water to drain properly.
- If a cutlery basket is included, distribute cutlery evenly to prevent nesting and ensure thorough cleaning.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your lower basket will extend its lifespan and ensure optimal dishwasher performance:
- Cleaning: Periodically remove the basket and wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any food residue or mineral deposits. For stubborn stains, a mild dish soap can be used.
- Inspect Wheels: Check the wheels for any damage or blockages. Ensure they spin freely. Replace damaged wheels if necessary.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals on the basket, as these can damage the metallic plastic coating.
- Rust Prevention: While designed to be rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to highly acidic foods or certain detergents can affect the coating over time. Rinse items before loading to minimize this risk.
