How to Make the Most of Your Beko Fridge's Adjustable Shelves

1 Sep

Buying a new fridge can be an exciting prospect, especially when it promises clever storage and flexibility. But even the most advanced fridge won’t reach its full potential if you’re not taking full advantage of its layout. That’s where adjustable shelves come in.

Whether you’ve just unpacked your new Beko fridge or have had one for a while, there’s a good chance you could be getting more from the inside.

This guide will walk you through practical tips for rearranging and using your fridge’s adjustable shelves, helping you store food smarter and make the most of every inch of space.

Fridge Models That Offer More Than Just Storage

Many of our fridge freezers are now designed with adjustable glass shelves and door racks to help you create a layout that suits you. They come with adjustable safety glass shelves, large salad crispers, and door balconies that can accommodate juices, condiments, and much more.

If you’re looking for options, just check your model’s product page or manual for a breakdown of its shelving system.

Reorganise with Purpose: Top Tips for Optimising Layout

Store raw meat at the bottom: It's here where you will find the coldest part of the fridge. It’s also advisable to store raw meat at the bottom (in their packaging or in air tight glass containers) so that you avoid any accidental drips onto other items.
Use eye-level for essentials: Put frequently used items like leftovers, drinks, and snacks where you can easily see and grab them for the ultimate convenience.
Adjust for larger items: Hosting, batch cooking, or storing tall bottles? Shift a shelf up or down to make space as needed.
Leave room for airflow: Overloading shelves can block the flow of cool air, leading to uneven cooling. Leave a little space around items.

Making the Most of Your Fridge Door Shelves

Fridge door shelves are ideal for things that don’t require the coldest temperature. Think sauces, jams, juices, and even butter. Some Beko models also offer adjustable door racks, giving you the freedom to rearrange them based on what you’re storing that week.

If you’ve ever wondered about fridge door shelf replacement, they’re available for many Beko models, just make sure you’ve got the right part number handy before ordering.

Keeping Your Shelves Clean and Safe

One of the benefits of adjustable shelves is that they’re usually removable. That makes cleaning your fridge less of a hassle.

Here’s a quick routine we recommend taking to ensure your Beko fridge remains in the best state possible:

Take out each shelf and wash with warm, soapy water
Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh cleaners as these can leave marks or scratches
Dry thoroughly before putting them back in to prevent moisture build-up

It's recommended to do this monthly (or right after a spill), as this will keep your fridge smelling fresh and operating efficiently.

Time to Upgrade? Finding the Right Replacement Shelves

While Beko shelves are built to last, wear and tear can happen over time. If you spot any cracks, chips, or warping, it might be time for a replacement. Beko offers a wide range of replacement fridge shelves for most current models, whether you’re replacing a glass shelf, door balcony, or bottle rack.
