Start by aligning your kitchen space and family needs with the intense program dishwasher's capacity and key features. Look for 60 cm width and 14 place settings to handle family loads, plus options like Half Load for smaller washes. Consider Hygiene Intense and Steam Gloss for deeper cleaning and a glossy finish on glassware. Check the LED display for easy operation and choose a BeKO model if you value reliable performance.

Hygiene Intense uses high-temperature sanitation and steam to kill germs and deeply clean dishes. Use it for heavily soiled pots, baby bottles, or cutting boards when you need thorough sanitization. The cycle may take longer and use more water, but it delivers superior hygienic results. Steam Gloss helps achieve a glossy finish on glassware during or after this cycle.

A busy family benefits most from a 14‑place setting with Hygiene Intense for daily large loads. If you cook rarely or wash small amounts, use the Half Load option to save water and energy on smaller washes. For frequent heavy-duty cleaning, the intense program provides reliable sanitation and cleaning power. Consider your typical load size to decide how often you’ll run it.

Keep the filter and spray arms clean after each cycle and regularly check door seals for debris. Use rinse aid and dishwasher salt as recommended to maintain cleaning performance and water softness. Ensure your kitchen setup has standard 60 cm cabinetry and appropriate electrical and water connections for a BeKO dishwasher with an intense program.

Use the Half Load option for smaller washes to save water and energy. Rely on the LED display to quickly select Hygiene Intense or other programs. Pair the dishwasher with the right internal racks and cutlery baskets to fit a full 14-place setting load for optimal performance.

Compare finishes and installation fit for your kitchen, silver offers a contemporary look while remaining easy to match with cabinetry, and other finishes provide a neutral appearance. Both models deliver the intense program, Hygiene Intense, Steam Gloss, 14 place settings, Half Load, and LED control, so base your choice on aesthetic preference and how you plan to use the half-load and hygiene features.
