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 correspond to your electricity supply.
The rating label is on the left-hand side of the fridge inner liner. We recommend that this appliance is connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged. 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 ref t 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. The 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 an authorised service agent.
IMPORTANT! FITTING A DIFFERENT PLUG
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead to this the appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows (see diagram):

1. Connect the green-yellow or green (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or coloured green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to 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: Do not locate extension sockets or charging transformers/power supplies or Lithium-Iron battery-operated products adjacent to the compressor as they could overheat.

TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The appliance should be transported only in a vertical upright position. The packing as supplied must be intact during transportation.
2. If transported horizontally, leave to stand upright for at least 4 hours before switching on, to allow compressor oil to settle.
3. Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage occurring to the appliance. The manufacturer will not be held responsible if these instructions are disregarded.
4. The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.
5. When positioning your appliance take care not to damage your flooring, kitchen furniture, related parts and doors, pipes, wall coverings etc. Do not move the appliance by pulling by the door.
6. Empty any water in the drain tray before moving. See sections ‘Defrosting’ and ‘Cleaning and care’ for further information.
7. Make sure that the defrost water pipe at the back of the product is fixed to the plastic evaporating pan on the top of the compressor, to avoid defrost water spillage on the floor.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller than 10 cubic meters.

2. See pages 14 to 15 for detailed instructions regarding reversing door opening direction.

3. This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43 degrees C (109 degrees F) and is equipped with Freezer Guard technology which ensures that even if the ambient temperature falls to -15°C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to this. So, you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However, at the low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the temperature setting to suit your needs.
   If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze. So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

4. Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause your appliance to work harder. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
   From Cookers|   50 mm (2″)
   ---|---
   From Radiators| 300 mm (12″)
   From Freezers|   25 mm (1″)

5.  Refer to the cleaning and care section to prepare your appliance for use.

6.  A special receptacle is supplied to store the mains plug during transit. The receptacle is fixed at the back of the cabinet, on the side of the compressor (see diagram). Gently remove the plug from the receptacle. Never pull the main cord, you may damage the appliance. In the case of transportation, ensure you locate the plug in the receptacle provided to avoid transit damage.

13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.
14. Maximum frozen food storage volume can be achieved without using the upper shelf cover located in the freezer. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared while the freezer compartment is fully loaded without the use of an upper shelf cover.

HarvestFresh

• Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamin content (vitamin A and C) for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights, and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green, or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the nighttime in a day cycle.

STARTING

Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:

1. The interior is dry, and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.

2. Clean the interior as recommended under “CLEANING AND CARE”.

3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
   • When the door is open the fridge 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, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.

5. The front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

6. “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)”.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
Pre-packed 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. Ensure that contents are labeled and dated.
3. Do not exceed the “Use By”, and “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
   If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance within 24 h. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, and never use sharp-edged objects such as knives, or forks.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

DUAL COOLING SYSTEM
Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, the air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, the cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also, additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

DEFROSTING

A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment performs full-automatic defrosting. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water from spilling on the electric installation or on the floor.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The NO FROST type defrost is completely automatic. No intervention from your side is required. The water is collected on the compressor tray. Due to the heat of the compressor the water is evaporated.
Warnings!
The fans inside the freezer and fresh food compartments circulate cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the fresh food and freezer fan. Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive substances. Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance. Please ensure the fans are not blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an increase in the internal freezer temperature (Thawing).

MOISTURE CONTROLLED VEGETABLE BIN

With the moisture control feature, moisture rates of vegetables and fruits are kept under control and ensure a longer freshness period for foods. It is recommended to store leafed vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and similar vegetables prone to moisture loss not on their roots but in a horizontal position in the vegetable bin as much as possible. When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into account the specific weights of the vegetables. Do not leave vegetables in the vegetable bin in plastic bags. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other vegetables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that have a certain porosity in terms of hygiene. Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach, and particularly apple in the same vegetable bin with other vegetables and fruits. The ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

CLEANING AND CARE

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 lukewarm 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.
Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
If the Condenser or Plastic Evaporator Tray (Which collects the defrost water) located at the back of the product requires cleaning maintenance, please contact service.
NOTE: This is not usually required under normal operating conditions. These items are not accessible without uninstalling the product.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the appliance, remove all food, clean it, and leave the door open.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
Removal of door tray:
• To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.

REPLACING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB
To change the Bulb/LED used for the illumination of your refrigerator, call your Authorized Service.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way. The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
Ensure your appliance is installed in a well-ventilated area. If the ambient temperature is low (but in no case lower than 10 degrees C), then the energy saving will be more. In this case, check the temperatures of the fridge and freezer compartments with an accurate thermometer and lower the thermostat setting (towards 1) if necessary.
Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your appliance is kept at a minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.
Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.
Defrost your appliance regularly (see “Defrosting”).
Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist in cooling in the fridge.

PROBLEM-SOLVING
If the appliance does not operate, check whether:

• The plug is inserted properly in the socket and the power supply is on. (To check the power supply to the socket, and plug in another appliance).
• The fuse has blown/the circuit breaker has tripped/main distribution switch has been turned off.
• The temperature control has been set correctly.
• The new plug is wired correctly if you have changed the fitted molded plug.
  If the appliance is still not operating after the above checks, please refer to the section on “How to Obtain Service”.
  Please ensure that the above checks have been made as a charge will be made if no fault is found.
