Setup and Installation
Safety Warning: Before attempting any installation or replacement, ensure the dishwasher is completely disconnected from the power supply and water source. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, injury, or damage to the appliance.
- Preparation: Open the dishwasher door and locate the existing detergent dispenser. Depending on your Beko model, access to the dispenser mechanism may require removing the inner door panel. Consult your specific dishwasher's service manual if unsure.
- Removal of Old Dispenser: Carefully disconnect any wiring harnesses and water/rinse aid tubes connected to the old dispenser. Unclip or unscrew the old dispenser from its mounting points. Note the orientation and connections for correct reinstallation.
- Installation of New Dispenser: Position the new Sparefixd dispenser (RAN8267425) into the designated slot. Ensure it fits securely. Reconnect the wiring harness and any water/rinse aid tubes. Ensure all connections are firm and correctly seated.
- Testing: Once the new dispenser is installed and the dishwasher is reassembled, reconnect the power and water supply. Run a short test cycle without dishes to check for proper detergent release and any leaks.
If you are not confident in performing this replacement, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified appliance technician.

Operating Instructions
The dispenser features separate compartments for detergent and rinse aid.
- Detergent Compartment:
Open the main detergent compartment lid. Add the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or tablet) according to your dishwasher's instructions and the soil level of your dishes. Close the lid firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the lid is properly sealed to prevent premature release.
- Rinse Aid Compartment:
Open the rinse aid compartment cap. Slowly pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it reaches the 'MAX' fill line. Avoid overfilling. Close the cap securely. The rinse aid will be automatically dispensed during the wash cycle to improve drying and prevent water spots.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your dispenser.
- Cleaning: Periodically check the detergent and rinse aid compartments for any residue buildup. If necessary, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects that could damage the dispenser.
- Check for Blockages: Ensure the detergent release mechanism and rinse aid nozzle are free from blockages. Hard water deposits or detergent clumps can impede proper dispensing.
- Lid Seals: Inspect the seals around the detergent and rinse aid compartment lids for any signs of wear or damage. Damaged seals can lead to leaks or improper dispensing.
