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.
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 ASTA 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 colored

green and yellow or green.

2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire
to the terminal in the plug
marked 'N' or colored black.

3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to
the terminal in the plug marked 'L'
or colored 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.

TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The appliance should be transported only in an 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 right hand side when standing in the front of the appliance. After bringing it to
upright position, it must not be operated for at least 12 hours to allow the system to settle.

3. Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage to the
appliance, for which the manufacturer will not be held liable.

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.

6. Empty any water in the drain tray before moving. See section „Defrosting” and „Care
& cleaning” 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!

• Care must be taken while cleaning/carrying the appliance not to touch the bottom of
the condenser metal wires at the back of the appliance, as this could cause injury to
fingers and hands.

• Do not attempt to sit or stand on top of your appliance as it is not designed for such
use. You could injure yourself or damage the appliance.

• Make sure that the mains cable is not caught under the appliance during and after
moving, as this could damage the cable.

• Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
BEKO plc declines to accept any liability should the instructions not be followed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

cubic meters.

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
+10 and +32 degrees C (50 and 90 degrees F) Therefore if the appliance is
installed in an unheated/cold room (e.g.: 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 2" (50 mm)
From Radiators 12" (300 mm)
From Refrigerators or Larder Fridge 1" (25 mm)

4. Make sure that sufficient room is provided

around the appliance to ensure free air

circulation.
Fit the two plastic wall spacer supplied
with the appliance rotating 1/4 turn to
the condenser at the back of the
refrigerator (see diagram).

5. The fridge/freezer 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 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.

WARNING!

Do not connect your appliance to the electricity
supply until all the packing and transit protectors
have been removed including polystyrene block(s)
inserted between the compressor motor and
the cabinet (see diagrams).
Do not remove the plastic drain tray fitted above
the compressor motor on models with
auto - defrost fridge.
