The manufacturers of the Beko washing machine made sure that the user does not hesitate for a long time which program to choose. Therefore, they equipped the control panel not with icons, but with the names of modes and functions. You can meet the designations of washing modes on SM Veko only standard ones, like other brands.
Now you don’t have to guess what the symbols mean, each program is signed. However, this does not provide information about how long it lasts and what its characteristics are.
