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 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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller
than 10 cubic metres.
2. This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32
degrees C (90 degrees F) and is equipped with Low Ambient Switch which ensures
that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature
falls to 10 °C.
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.
43
If you have to install your appliance in a cold room, read the LOW AMBIENT
SWITCH USE on page 12.
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")
4. Make sure that sufficient room is provided
around the appliance to ensure free air
circulation.
Fit the Two plastic wall spacers
supplied with the appliance rotating
1/4 turn to the condenser at the back
of the appliance (See Diagram).
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COMBI BEKO FRIDGE / FREEZER
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.
