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 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 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 are available from any good electrical store.

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).

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.

If in doubt contact a qualified electrician. 3

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

In order to operate the automatic ice maker/dispenser and chilled water dispenser, you will need to get your appliance plumbed into the cold mains water supply in your house via a standard 1/2 “ valve fitting. If in doubt contact a qualified plumber and your local water company. See page 9.

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 during the course of transport the appliance has to be transported horizontally, it must only be laid on its left hand side when standing in the front of the appliance. After bringing it to upright position,it must not be operated for at least 4 hours to allow the system to settle.

3.Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage occuring 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, pipes, wall coverings etc. Do not move the appliance by pulling by the door or handle.

IMPORTANT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

2.Do not put your fridge freezer in a cold room where the temperature is likely to go below +5 degrees C (41 degrees F) during night time and/or especially in winter.

This fridge freezer has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +5 and +32 degrees C (41 and 90 degrees F) Therefore if the appliance is installed in an unheated/cold room (eg: conservatory/annex/ shed/garage etc) then the appliance will not operate causing the freezer compartment to run warmer and as a result the storage time of frozen food may be reduced.

3.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")

From Wall	50 mm (2")

4.Adjustable feet adjustment for levelling

If your refrigerator is not level, you can level it by turning the front feet as illustrated in the figure below. The corner where the feet is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. You may need somebody to help you to slightly lift the refrigerator off the floor for a few centimeters. Take care when lifting the appliance because it is very heavy.

5. Door height adjustment

If there is a misalignment between the doors, perform the steps indicated below to adjust door heights:

Doors can be raised vertically. This process can be performed easily using a flat tipped screwdriver and an allen key (M6) as illustrated in the following figures. Door racks should be removed when adjusting the door height.

• Remove the screws fastening the lower cover using a flat tipped screwdriver in the order shown in the figure.

		4
1	2	3

• Loosen the 3 screws of the lower door hinges using a flat tipped screwdriver. (Do not remove completely)

• If the freezer compartment door is lower than the fridge compartment door, bring them to the same level by turning the elevation screw on the freezer compartment side in the direction of arrow using a M6 allen key in the similar way as explained above on the opposite side.

• If the freezer compartment door is higher than the fridge compartment door, bring them to the same level by turning the elevation screw on the fridge compartment side in the direction of arrow using a M6 allen key as illustrated below:

After doing the above adjustments, the doors should be level. If the doors do not close properly, this might adversely affect the operation and efficiency of the refrigerator.

BEFORE FIRST USE & OPERATION

Ice/Water Dispenser

•The minimum inlet water pressure required is 1 bar

•The maximum inlet water pressure allowed is 8 bars

•The appliance must be connected to the cold mains water supply and must never be connected to the hot water.

•Make sure the anti-condensation switch underneath the display is pressed after connecting the appliance to the cold mains water supply. (Factory setting is in pressed position)

•You will need to wait for 12 hours before you get your first ice cubes from the ice dispenser. If there is less than 16 ice cubes in the ice cube container, ice dispenser may not operate.

•The dispenser will not be activated if the freezer door is open. Therefore, please make sure that the freezer door is closed in order to allow the dispenser to start operating.

•In order for the ice/water dispenser to operate smoothly, the water pressure in the system should be between 1 – 8 bars. To check this, see if 1 glass of water (100 cc) fills using the dispenser in 10 seconds.

•Do not forget to take out the Ice Hole Cover before using the ice dispenser.

•Water dispenser is automatically activated when the refrigerator starts operating. However it would take up to 12 hours for the water to chill.

•Approximately the first 30 pieces of the ice cubes made and dispensed should not be consumed.

•Water may not flow from the dispenser during the initial operation because of the air trapped in the piping system. Press the latch for about 1 minute three times at intervals to bleed the air trapped in the system. The uneven flow of the water from the dispenser will disappear as soon as the trapped air in the system is released.

•The first 10 glasses of water should not be consumed.

•Always make sure that you fit the water filter before using the ice/water dispenser.

•First Check that the following items are supplied with appliance.

1.5-meter long water pipe (1/4 inch in diameter)

2.Nut for connection of the water pipe to the rear of the appliance

3.Cold mains water valve with mesh filter

4.3 pieces of pipe clips (In case required to secure the water pipe)

5.Water Filter to be fitted to the bracket inside the fridge compartment.
