• This fridge/freezer must only be

used for its intended purpose i.e the storing and freezing of edible foodstuff.

• Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire. At BEKO, the care and protec-

tion of our environment is an ongoing

commitment. This appliance which is

among the latest range introduced is

particularly environment friendly. Your

appliance contains non CFC / HFC natural substances in the cooling system (Called R600a) and in the insula-

tion (Called cyclopentane) which are

potentially flammable if exposed to fire.

Therefore, take care not to damage, the

cooling circuit / pipes of the appliance

Electrical Requirements

Before you insert the plug into the

wall socket make sure that the voltage

and the frequency shown on the rating

plate inside the appliance corresponds to yourelectricity supply.

Rating label is on the left hand side of fridge inner liner.

We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a

suitable switched and fused socket.

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or should it need re-

placing at any time, it must be replaced

by a special purpose made mains lead

which can only be obtained from a

BEKO Authorised Service Agent.

Important! Fitting A Different Plug

As the colours of the wires in the

mains lead of this appliance may not

correspond with the coloured markings

identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: (See diagram).

Connect the green-yellow or green .1

(Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or coloured green and yellow or green.

Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to .2

the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.

Connect the brown (Live) wire to .3

the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must

be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or

in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.

Warning! This Appliance

Must Be Earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable

for your socket, then the plug should be

cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.

Destroy the old plug which is cut off as

a plug with bared cord could cause a

shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.

The moulded plug on this appliance in-

corporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rat-

ing must be used. Do not forget to refit

the fuse cover. In the event of losing the

fuse cover the plug must not be used

until a replacement fuse cover has been

fitted.

Energy Saving Tips

1- Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area.

2- Ensure the time between buying

chilled/frozen food and placing them

in your appliance is kept at minimum,

particularly in summer. We recommend

you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.

3- Do not leave the door (s) of your

appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.

4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge

compartment, so that frozen food acts

as an ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.

Points to be considered when re-transporting your refrigerator

1. Your refrigerator must be emptied and cleaned prior to any transportation.

2. Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc. in your refrigerator must be fastened securely by adhesive tape against any jolt before repackaging.

3. Packaging must be tied with thick tapes and strong ropes and the rules of transportation printed on the package must be followed.

Please do not forget…

Every recycled material is an indispensable source for the nature and for our national resources.

If you wish to contribute to recycling the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.

Before operating your refrigerator

Before starting to use your refrigerator check the following:

1. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and can the air circulate freely in the rear of it?

2. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

3. Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet. When the fridge door is open the fridge compartment interior light will come on.

4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal.

5. Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

Electric connection

Connect your product to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

• The connection must be in compliance with national regulations.

• The power cable plug must be easily accessible after installation.

• The specified voltage must be equal to your mains voltage.

• Extension cables and multiway plugs must not be used for connection.

B A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

B Product must not be operated before it is repaired! There is danger of electric shock!

7 EN

Disposing of the packaging

The packing materials may be dangerous for children. Keep the packing materials out of the reach of children or dispose them of by classifying them in accordance with the waste instructions. Do not dispose them of along with the normal household waste.

The packing of your refrigerator is produced from recyclable materials.

Disposing of your old refrigerator

Dispose of your old machine without giving any harm to the environment.

• You may consult your authorized dealer or waste collection center of your municipality about the disposal of your refrigerator.

Before disposing of your refrigerator, cut out the electric plug and, if there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable in order to protect children against any danger.

Placing and Installation

1. Install your refrigerator to a place that allows ease of use.

2. Keep your refrigerator away from heat sources, humid places and direct sunlight.

(Coldest setting)

(Or)

Min. = Lowest cooling setting

(Warmest setting)

Max. = Highest cooling setting

(Coldest setting)

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C.

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area.

The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,

• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

• You may adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat. Numbers around the thermostat button indicates the cooling degrees.

• If the ambient temperature is higher than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to maximum position.

• If the ambient temperature is lower than 25°C, turn the thermostat button to minimum position.

20 EN

Cooling

Food storage

The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.

Freezing

Freezing food

The freezing compartment is marked with this symbol.

You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing prefrozen food.

The recommendation for storage, as stated on the food packaging, should be observed at all times.

Defrost

A) Fridge compartment

Fridge compartment performs fullautomatic defrosting. Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the inner rear wall of the fridge compartment while your refrigerator cools down. Such formation is normal as a result of the cooling system.

The frost formation is defrosted by performing automatic defrosting with certain intervals thanks to the automatic defrosting system of the rear wall. User is not required to scrape the frost or remove the water drops.

Water resulting from the defrosting passes from the water collection groove and flows into the evaporator through the drain pipe and evaporates there by itself.

Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged or not and clear it with the plunger provided when necessary.

Deep freezer compartment does not perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food.

21 EN

B) Freezer compartment

Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin.

Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4”) mm has formed.

To start the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).

Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.

Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as knives or forks to remove the frost.

Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.

Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly.

Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

Stopping your product

If your thermostat is equipped with

“0” position:

- Your product will stop operating when you turn the thermostat button to

“0” (zero) position. Your product will not start unless to you turn the thermostat button to position “1” or one of the other positions again.

If your thermostat is equipped with

“min” position:

- Unplug your product to stop it.

22 EN

Temperature Control And

Adjustment

Operating temperatures are control-

led by the thermostat (see diagram).

Settings may be made from 1 to 5, the coldest position.

When the appliance is switched on

for the first time, the thermostat should

be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the

average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F).

We recommend you set the thermos-

tat halfway between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor to obtain the desired tem-

perature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain

a colder fridge temperature and vice

versa. Some sections of the fridge may

be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad

crisper and the top part of the cabinet

) which is quite normal.Over ambient

temperatures of 25°C (77°F) especially in summer turn the thermostat knob to-

wards 5. Under ambient temperatures

of 25°C (77°F) turn the thermostat knob

to a half way position.

Frequent door opening cause higher

internal temperatures, so close the

door as soon as possible after use.In

case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment reduce the ther-

mostat setting to 1, monitoring at the

same time that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C (41 degre-

es F). Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.

23 EN

Maintenance and cleaning

•We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.

•Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

•Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.

•Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

•Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using the handle of a spoon. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.

•If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off,remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

•To remove a drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.

•Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles..

•Never :Clean the worktop with unsuitable material; eg petroleum based products.Subject it to hot temperatures in any way, Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
