What’s the lowest setting on a Beko tumble dryer?

It’s doesn’t give you the temperatures. It’s got cotton, synthetic, baby care and gentle.

It’s for drying dust mite covers for bedding and I don’t want to damage them and stop them being dust mite proof.

off.

Gentle I would think.
Google the instructions if you don't have them.

I did but the 28 page manual doesn’t trouble itself with nonsense like high or low settings.

Apparently gentle dries shirts in a sensitive manner Confused.

Sports cycle...

Is that low heat? I don’t why they can’t align the programs to match the care labels.

I always use the synthetics cycle and assume that is low. Cotton is high (I use that for towels).

High heat: Approx. 70-75oC
Cotton

Baby
Towels
Super Short

Medium heat: Approx. 60-65oC
Synthetic
Outdoor/Sport
Daily Mix

Low heat: Approx. 50-55oC

@corpjones resurrecting this to ask where you found the info? I am trying to buy a dryer that gets hot hot to kill mites and ticks on clothes and struggling to find the temps anywhere in the dryer manuals!

Thank you I’m hoping to get a Patagonia down coat soon so this info is great.

also would like this confirmed, frustrating this info isnt available from any retailers or user manuals before purchasing

corpjones · 07/10/2025 17:57

Apologies didnt see these messages, they were confirmed by Beko head office.

It’s ridiculous isn’t it! This machine is new to me, and in the manual it tells you to take heed of the care labels for heat settings- and then doesn’t mention the heat settings in any other way, let alone in each cycle description! A low heat button would be useful too 🙄 Absolutely maddening. Thank you for the info in this thread, it’s been very helpful.
