ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating plate inside the appliance corresponds to your electricity supply. Rating label is on the left hand side of the freezer liner.

We recommend that this appliance is connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket. The socket must be in an accessible position.

Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or should it need replacing 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.

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 incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating 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. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers can 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:

IMPORTANT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller

than 10 cubic metres.

2. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct

sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed

next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side

clearances:

From Cookers 2" (50 mm)

From Radiators 12" (300 mm)

From Refrigerators or Larder Fridge 1" (25 mm)

3. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free

air circulation. Allow a minimum of 60 mm (2.4 inches) between the top of the appliance and the ceiling or the underside of a wall cupboard.

4. Fit the two plastic wall spacers supplied with the appliance rotating 1/4 turn to the condenser at the back of the appliance (See diagram).

5. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.

The two front feet can be adjusted as required.

To ensure that,your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning

Electronic card

(covered by plastic cover) clockwise or anti-clockwise, until the product is in firm contact with the floor. Correct adjustment of feet avoids excessive

vibration and noise.

6. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.

7.

A special receptacle is supplied to store the mains plug during transit.

The receptacle is fixed at the back of the cabinet, on the right hand side of the compressor. (See diagram) Gently remove the plug from the receptacle. Never pull the mains cord, you may damage the appliance. In the case of transportation, ensure you locate the plug in the receptacle provided to avoid transit damage.

STARTING

Final Check

Before you start using the freezer check that:

1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.

2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely.

3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."

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

5. 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, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.

6. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 (three) and monitor the

temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).

7. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct

storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).

Important Notes :

1. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be

affected if the failure lasts for less than 25 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then

re-frozen.

2. If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the door to open normally after a few moments.

3. You will hear a suction sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

6

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

Fast Freeze = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of food 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 normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). If the thermostat knob is turned counter clockwise from position 1. Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards position Fast Freeze.

We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

7

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment.

To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

3. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.

8

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 11 kg (24.2 lb). Never exceed this maximum capacity.

If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the control knob to

Fast Freeze. 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.

It is strongly recommended to keep the knob at Fast Freeze position at least 24 hours to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

If the fast freeze compartment (2) is filled with fresh food, other compartments can also be used to freeze fresh food. Ice-bank (3) has been specially designed to obtain ice cubes (see making Ice Cubes).

DEFROSTING

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

To start defrosting procedure switch off the freezer 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).

Remove all freezer baskets. Fold out the spout, place a bowl underneath the spout to collect the water. Ensure you use a bowl large enough to contain the defrost water. Normally the volume of the bowl should be about 4 (four) litres. Leave the freezer door open.

Containers full 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, forks to remove the frost.

Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical appliances for defrosting.

When defrosting has finished, fold back the spout and dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the setting knob to fast freeze. Remove the bowl and Empty it. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Don't forget to tape over the switch to avoid accidental disconnection.

Remember to turn the setting knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.

CLEANING AND CARE

** We recommend that you switch off the freezer 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 freezer 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.

** 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.

** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the

freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.

** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food

particles.
