How long after the machine has finished do you check whether things are dry or not? Instantly, 30 minutes, a couple of hours, next day?

Well we usually wait for at least 5 minutes then open the door to let any steam escape for another 5-10 minutes then check. What would you suggest?

Mine says open door when cycle finishes and leave for 30 minutes, the heat retained in the washed items dries them.

On page 26 of your instruction manual it says:

Leave your dishes in the machine for about 15 minutes after they are washed in order to have them cooled down. Your dishes will dry in a shorter time if you leave the door of your machine ajar during this period. This will increase the drying effectiveness of your machine.

Looks like you are doing it right.

See what they are like after an hour or so.

Aren't Beko the ones that catch fire?

Possibly, but no different to other makes

2 Jul 2014 - Hotpoint recalls 330,000 dishwashers. Hotpoint is recalling dishwashers after an electrical fault has caused a number of appliances catch fire.

3 Jul 2014 - Indesit issues safety notice for dishwashers manufactuered between January 2008 and July 2010 for certain models.

I'm sorry you are experiencing problems but everyone knows Beko is a rubbish make, so a consumer would avoid them. You get what you pay for really.
I think if I had this problem I would dump the dishwasher on the shop floor of the place where you purchased it and explain that you wanted a refund. They will sort it out as its a visible problem and could affect custom.

You do, I've had Beko kit for more than 10 years without a problem, however the problems I've had with Hotpoint white goods has put me off them completely

No shop floor to dump it on.

Online purchase.

Says so clearly in OP.
