Does anyone know if the lid/top cover can be removed to fit under a bench?
Yes you can. Takes away about 22mm
BEKO is one of the best brands in Europe, recommended.

What utter rubbish, they are one of the worst brands. Do you work for them?
When was the last time someone said "I'll buy that product as it's made in Turkey".
Don't be surprised if Beko are dumping stock in Australia because of our weak laws. This is cheap for a reason, it's crap.
They have been linked to many deaths and hundreds of house fires and have covered up faults and delayed recalls costing lives.

Beko recalled around 480,000 of its fridge freezers after it was established that they contained a faulty component – but not before one of its fridge freezers started the blaze that caused the death of Mr Santosh Benjamin Muthiah in November 2011. At the inquest into Mr Muthiah’s death, it came to light that independent risk assessors highlighted the issue two years and five months before Beko publicly recalled the products.

No, I don't work for them but you sound like somebody who works for a competitor!
This is from the first link you posted:
"I have been investigating safety surrounding one of the best known electrical companies that sells appliances here in the UK."
Beko is huge in the European market. We've always had Arcelik or Beko when I lived in Turkey. My best friend brought his furniture (Beko/Arcelik) from Turkey when they emigrated to Australia and they still work well even though they are 15-20 years old.
Also it's not many deaths or hundreds of house fires as you claimed, this is from the same link you posted:
"20 house fires, 15 injuries and one death since 2010 have involved Beko fridge freezers, the brigade said."
Many fires happened in Australia due to faulty washing machines by Samsung which is one of the best white good manufacturers in the world:

The other night I burnt my hand on a part of my Beko appliance that had gotten extremely hot.

So? McDonald's are the biggest restaurant chain in Australia. Cheap stuff sells because of its price, expensive stuff sells because of its reputation.

Good for you but given Turkey isn't a first world country with any decent safety standards this means nothing.

That is from one particular model. Did you look at the other links or just cherry picked the lowest figure?
Did your also miss the part where the company has delayed recalls for years? The part where they concealed evidence? Does this sound like a company with a reputation to protect or a bottom line to keep padded?
Ten people killed by Beko and they kept selling it for years after knowing of the fault.
"When Brian bought it, he had no idea that five people had already died because of a manufacturing fault in the oven.
The oven has now been blamed for the deaths of at least ten people, with a question mark over several others."
"Meanwhile, the company has also been blamed for having potential deadly flaws in other products, such as fridge freezers and tumble dryers — with an estimated 90,463 unsafe appliances still in use.
Just last month a London coroner recommended urgent government reform on product safety regulation while ruling at an inquest that father-of-two Santosh Benjamin-Muthiah, 36, died after a fire caused by a Beko fridge freezer in north London in 2010 — despite the company knowing about fire risks since 2003."
"Under current laws, if a company breaches product safety regulations, the maximum fine is £5,000 per case, but a product recall can cost tens of millions."

"The company's director of quality, Andrew Mullen, was asked by the coroner why Beko had not decided to recall the 8kg DCS 85W model.
He said: "We looked at the number of incidents against sales, the severity of the incidents and circumstances, and in all those assessments they were all incidents that happened within 10 or 20 minutes of the tumble dryer being used.
"Nearly all those were when the tumble dryer was in unheated buildings such as a shed or outhouse. In those cases the risk of injury was low.""
Even after a woman dies the company won't issue a recall because most fires occurred after use and thus were not a risk.
*We found that 175 Hoover washing machines caught fire between January 2011 and March 2014 – 12% of the number of fires recorded for washing machines overall (excluding models where the brand wasn’t identified). Based on our market intelligence, we think Hoover’s market share is probably less than 12%, making its number of fires for this appliance type disproportionately high.

Last time I checked Hoover was an American Company yet it's responsible for 12% of fires recorded based on the article you posted. US is a "first world country" which has excellent safety standards yet they let this many fires happen.
What I am arguing is almost all brand home appliances cause fires and people might die due to these fires.
I reiterate that Beko is huge in Europe because people are happy with them as they are good quality and made in Turkey. Without good safety standards, they wouldn't have made it in the European market.
I eat at McDonalds and also at good restaurants. Similarly I own a Beko as well as other quality brands. I don't see anything wrong with this.
I don't know if you have a beef with Turkey for some reason but Turkey is one of the Top 20 economies in the World. It cannot be compared to Australia in terms of freedom of speech, democracy etc. especially in the last 7-8 years due to our new dictator-wanna-be but it cannot be considered a third world country by any other standards.
I will still buy Beko which is manufactured in Turkey (Not China) by my fellow countryman and I am happy if you or anybody else would do otherwise.
Cheers

When was the last time you checked? 1992? They have been European owned since 1993 and are owned by the Candy group which manufacture rubbish in Italy.

How many companies are involved in the cover up of so many deaths? Beko has time and time again killed people because they continued to sell dangerous products, they didn't even change manufacturing because it would cost too much.
Beko are a company of parasites that are happy to see people die for their profits.
I reiterate that Beko is huge in Europe because people are happy with them as they are good quality and made in Turkey.
Beko are big because they are cheap, no other reason.
Without good safety standards, they wouldn't have made it in the European market.
Beko doesn't care about safety, they self certify their products as safe and ship them out.
I don't know if you have a beef with Turkey for some reason but Turkey is one of the Top 20 economies in the World.
No-one has ever said "I'll buy the Turkish made product" for good reason. Like Italy they generally produce crap cheap appliances.
As I said Beko are a dispicable company that have zero care for the lives of their customers. Other companies bend other backwards to prevent deaths but Beko covers it up. I am hopeful that senior executives at Beko will face charges of manslaughter in the UK in the next few years. In the meantime they will pay the fines of £5000 per person they kill as it's far cheaper then a recall.
Your comments contain more insults, anecdotal evidences and personal opinions than facts such as:
"No-one has ever said "I'll buy the Turkish made product" for good reason. Like Italy they generally produce crap cheap appliances."
"Beko are a company of parasites that are happy to see people die for their profits."
While 10 people dying due to faulty ovens is horrible, the reason for the deaths were the fact that they didn't read the user manual and kept using the ovens which had been recalled.
Of course, Beko is still responsible for these deaths and should be punished if they are found guilty.
"but Beko covers it up. I'm am hopeful that senior executives at Beko will face charges of manslaughter in the UK in the next few years."
Please update this thread if they are found guilty as you've stated above. if a company is guilty they will be punished accordingly anyway, after all UK is a "first world country".

Why would anyone buy Turkish made appliances over German made? The quality of appliances out of Italy is well known as rubbish but certainly better then Turkish.
While 10 people dying due to faulty ovens is horrible, the reason for the deaths were the fact that they didn't read the user manual and kept using the ovens which had been recalled.
Most of the deaths occurred before a recall which occurred over five years after the first one. The company knew about the fault just after they started producing that model but chose not to make the minimal cost change to manufacturing.
This is just one appliance that killed over ten people in one country. How many more killed across the rest of Europe?
What about the deaths from the other appliances. The arrogant executives showed no care when they said they didn't bother recalling because of costs or numbers of machines. They wouldn't even pay funeral costs.
"Most of the deaths occurred before a recall which occurred over five years after the first one. The company knew about the fault just after they produced it but chose not to make the minimal cost change."
Still, it doesn't change the fact that they operated it while the grill door(?) was closed which should have been left open according to the manual
. Anyway, 10 deaths is a lot of people for a simple user error and shouldn't have happened even though some of these deaths would have been caused by other brands.
I am looking forward to the verdict on this case and they must be punished if they are guilty. This will be determined by court of a "first world country" so I don't have any doubts they will be just!
Until then, peace.

Some of them didn't use the grill but the oven. Closed door grilling is normal as well even on gas nowadays, at the very least they could have had the grill door lock open when it was on.
The grills could be used closed but Beko fitted the wrong seals and didn't correct the issue.
"Some Turkish-made Beko, Flavel and Leisure ovens had an air gap around the door but others were wrongly fitted with a total seal."
https://www.google.com.au/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/…
Anyway, 10 deaths is a lot of people for a simple user error and shouldn't have happened even though some of these deaths would have been caused by other brands.
The issue is that Beko knew about this problem from day 1 and that there were no deaths to other manufacturers at that time. Hopefully the coroner will find their deaths to be manslaughter, manufacturers need to be held accountable for this behaviour.
Edit: It's 15 deaths up until 2014.
"One of the world's largest manufacturers of kitchen appliances to is to be prosecuted and could face fines of more than £300,000 after its ovens were linked to 15 deaths - including that of a Belfast pensioner - from carbon monoxide poisoning."
