Electronic Control

The electronic controller is located outside the unit on the bottom, right- hand side front plinth.

It looks like this:

During normal operation the controller display will show the temperature inside the refrigerator.

A small indicator light will illuminate under the ‘Cooling’ symbol to confirm the fridge is in its normal cooling mode, and compressor is running.

Operation of the controller

• To set the desired temperature of the fridge:
  o Press the button once. A ‘beep’ will sound, and the display will start to flash.

  • Use the buttons to set to the desired temperature.
  • Press again to complete the operation, or just leave it for 5 – 10 sec, and the display will revert back to showing internal temperature, while new settings saved.

Note:
The fridge is built to automatically defrost and prevent any ice forming on the Evaporator.
It will automatically run a ‘Defrost cycle for 20min once every 8 hours.
When in a ‘Defrost’ cvcle. the indicator light will illuminate under the ‘Defrost’ sumbol:

To manually activate ‘Defrost’ cycle:

• Press the button, and hold it. a ‘beep’ will sound as soon as pressed.
  Hold button pressed for 10 – 20 seconds, until a second ‘beep’ can be heard.

• The indicator light will now illuminate under the ‘Defrost’ symbol and the fridge is into a ‘Defrost’ cycle.

• ‘Defrost’ will run for 20min, and then automatically revert to normal operation.

  • To manually change back to normal operating mode from the ‘Defrost’ mode:

• Press the button again, a ‘beep’ will sound.

• Hold button pressed for 10 – 20 seconds, until a second ‘beep’ is heard.

• Both indicator lights under the ‘Defrost’ symbol and under the ‘Cooling’ symbol will now flash operation.
  while the fridge is gearing up to switch back to normal

• After 5 – 20 minutes, only the indicator light I will illuminate under the ‘Cooling’ symbol to confirm the fridge is back in its normal cooling mode.

Important:

The fridge will go through a normal periodical defrosting cycle, and a manual defrosting operation is only require in most extreme cases. It is better to avoid if not necessary.
While in the ‘defrost’ mode, the fridge cooling power is reduced, as the compressor is notworking. The automatic cycles ensure the defrosting is done in the most efficient manner, and when required. It is not recommended to leave the fridge in the manually set defrost mode for prolonged periods of time.

NOTE: the controller allows you to choose a desired operating temperature of between -2°c and 8°c.
BeefEater do not recommend to operate the fridge on settings of below 4°c, as such settings will cause content of the fridge to freeze, and will result in unnecessary strain on the cooling systems, and undue high energy consumption.

• it is advisable to keep the cover over the controller closed when not being accessed, so no unintended operation or damage will occur.
• in normal operation the controller turns the compressor off at the set temperature, and back on after the temperature had risen by a few degrees.
  As such, the reading in the controller is always a couple of degrees above set-point, and that is perfectly OK.

When temperature was reached and the compressor is in its ‘off’ cycle, no indicator light will illuminate in the controller:

Internal Fridge Light
