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 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 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 an 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):

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 section ‘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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

10cubic metres.

2.See pages 14 to 21 for detailed Installation Instructions including reversing door opening direction.

3.This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 38 degrees C (100 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 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 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 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.

SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF

FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER

Arrangement examples (see diagram)

1.	Baked, chilled cooked food,
dairy products, cans.
2.	Wine bottles.	3
3.	Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
4.	Fresh fruit and vegetables.	4
5.	Frozen food and freezing of
fresh food.
6.	Frozen food.
7.	Small bottles, cans, tubes.
8.	Eggs.
9.	Tall, large bottles, beverages.

The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the best results and storage hygiene.

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

2.The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre frozen food. The recommendation for storage as stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times.

3.Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.

4.Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.

5.Bottles can be placed in the door section.

6.To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.

7.Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.

8.Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed too cold.

9.Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.

10.Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge inner liner where the cold wall is located.

11.Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable.

12.Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.

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 upper shelf cover.
