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

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.

6. Empty any water in the drain tray before moving. See section ‘Care & cleaning’
for further information.

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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that mains cable is not caught under the appliance
during and after carrying / moving the appliance, to avoid the mains cable
becoming cut or damaged."

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

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.

4

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")

Adjustable feet adjustment for levelling

4.

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

STARTING

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

1. The feet have been adjusted so that the product is level.

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

3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."

4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

• When the door is open the respective interior light will come on.

5. You will hear 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.

“Due to the operation of fans inside the appliance, overall noise level is

slightly higher in comparison to non-frost free appliances. This is quite normal
and is not a fault.”

6. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are

designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

7. "Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the
correct storage temperature has been reached.

8. When the compartments reach the desired temperatures fans will stop. When

the freezer fan is on, the noise will be louder when the freezer door is opened.

9. Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through
the fan guard and air flow vents as they may cause the cooling system to
block and therefore operate less efficiently.

10. The factory set temperature is +4°C for fridge compartment and -18°C for

freezer compartment.

11. The compressor will start running approximately 5 minutes after the
refrigerator is plugged in to protect the electronic components of your appliance.
After start up of the compressor, compartment temperatures will reach the set
temperatures in 24 hours depending on the ambient temperature and load in
your refrigerator.

12. Pay attention to the following points during the first 24 hours of the operation:

- Do not open the doors frequently.

- Do not overload your refrigerator.

- Do not put hot food.

SUGGESTIONS FOR STORING FRESH FOOD

Meat & poultry- Best stored in the Chiller Compartment

• Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene bags or aluminium foil. This prevents drying.

• Wrap fish and similar items in polythene bags to avoid drying and odour.

Dairy Products

• Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in polythene bag excluding as much air
as possible. For best results take out of the fridge compartment an hour before eating.

• Wrap bread well to keep it fresh.

Fruit & vegetables

• Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil.

• Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem.

• Wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags as
these types of produce may suffer damage if kept at very low temperatures.

• Wrap food, which has a strong odour, or can dry out, in polythene bags, aluminium foil, or
place in an airtight container.

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT STORAGE ADVICE

Fruit & vegetables

• Don’t store bananas.

• Don’t store melon - it can be chilled for short periods as long as it is wrapped to avoid it

flavouring other food.

• Wrap food affected by temperatures near 0°C (pineapples, salads, cucumbers, tomatoes etc.)
in polythene bags to avoid freezing.

Meat & poultry

• Store raw meat and poultry below cooked food and dairy products.

• Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For
safety, only store raw meat for two to three days in the Chiller Compartment.

General

• Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.

• Don’t store cooked and fresh food together in the same container.

• Always allow hot food and beverages to cool first.

• Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.

• Place chilled cooked food and similar food in the Chiller Compartment.

• Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to ‘best before’ and ‘use by’ dates.

• Don’t let defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.

7

STORING PRE-FROZEN FOOD

• Take special care not to mix with fresh and thawed food.

• The recommendation for (4 star means -18°C or colder) storage as stated on the food

packaging must always be followed.

• Pre-packed frozen food should be stored in accordance with the food manufacturer’s instructions

for a frozen food storage compartment.

• To ensure that the high quality achieved by the food manufacturer and retailer is maintained:
1 Wrap packets when you buy them.
2 Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
3 Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
4 Do not exceed ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ dates.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD - See also page 18

• Take special care not to mix with already frozen food.

• Always choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean.

• You can place food to be frozen in any compartment in the freezer.

Amounts

• Do not exceed the freezing capacity which in a 24 hour period is 13 kg.

• Prepare fresh food in small portions to ensure rapid freezing. Do not freeze too large a quantity

at any one time. The quality is best preserved when the food is frozen right through to the core
as quickly as possible.

• When freezing the maximum amount press the Fresh Freeze button.

• When freezing small amounts, i.e. 2 kg (5lbs) there is no need to press the Fresh Freeze button.
Preparation

• Wrap food in aluminium foil or freezer quality polythene bags.

• Wrap fish and similar items in polythene bags.

• Wrap food which has a strong odour or can dry out, in polythene bags, aluminium foil, or

place in airtight containers.

• Make sure all air is excluded from foil wrapping or bags.
Freezer compartment storage info/advice

• 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.

• The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre-frozen

food.

• Don’t freeze filled bottles or sealed cans containing fizzy (carbonated) drinks as they may burst.

• Check contents of the freezer every so often to make sure items are not stored for too long.

• Don’t close the freezer door before placing the drawers in place.

• Don’t try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked

and re-frozen.

• If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure

lasts for less than 8 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the compressor to operate continuously

until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the fridge
compartment.

Serving

• Don’t remove items from the freezer with wet hands.

• Don’t give children ice cream direct from the freezer. The low temperature may cause ‘freezer

burns’ on lips.

• Products such as flavoured ice lollies should not be consumed too cold for the same reason.

• Defrost food from the freezer in the fridge compartment.

Crisper

Multi Zone Storage Compartment

Crisper of your refrigerator is designed specially
to keep your vegetables freshly without loosing
their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation
occurs around the crisper in general.

Chiller compartment

Chiller compartments enable the foods to be
frozen become ready for freezing. You can also
use these compartments to store your food at a
temperature a few degrees below the fridge
compartment.

You can increase the inner volume of your
refrigerator by removing any of the snack
compartments. To do this, pull the compartment
towards yourself; the compartment will lean
against the stopper and stop. This compartment
will be released when you lift it about 1 cm and
pull it towards yourself.

The Multi Zone storage compartment of your
refrigerator may be used in any desired mode
by adjusting it to cooler or freezer temperatures.
You can keep the compartment in the desired
temperature with the “Multi Zone Compartment
Temperature Setting Button”. The temperature of
the Multi Zone storage compartment may be set
to 0 and 10 degrees as to be different from the
fridge compartment and to -6 degrees as to be
different from the freezer compartment. 0 degree
is used to store the deli products longer, and -6
degrees is used to keep the meats up to 2 weeks
in an easily cuttable condition. There is a noise
like the noise of the seconds of an analogue
clock. This is noise because of the working valve
which is used for the temperature control of the
special Fridge or Freezer zone. It is normal and
not a fault.

16

Rotating Middle Section

Rotating middle section is intended to prevent
the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping
outside. Rotating middle section aids in sealing
since the gaskets on the door presses on the
surface of the Rotating middle section when the
doors of the fridge compartment are closed.
Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped
with a rotating middle section is that it increases
the net volume of the fridge compartment.
Standard middle sections occupy some non­usable volume in the refrigerator.

The rotating middle section is activated
automatically when opening and closing the left
hand door. DO NOT attempt to rotate this
manually.

Blue light

Foodstuff stored in the crispers that are enlightened
with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by
means of the wavelength effect of blue light and
thus, preserve their freshness and increase their
vitamin content for longer.

17

SUGGESTIONS FOR STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a ( 4 star) 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 labelled and dated.

3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 8 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re­frozen.

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 in 24 h which is 13 kg.

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, however we recommend
fresh freeze compartment for fastest freezing.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
DEFROSTING

The fridge and freezer compartments defrost automatically.

18

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 luke warm 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 and other electrical items.
** If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off,

remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
** Vacuum-clean the dusts on the appliance once a year.
** 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.

** Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the
fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate

Protection of plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers
as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or
smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface
at once with warm water.

Specially Treated Doors

Genuine stainless steel doors have been specially treated to enhance and maintain
the elegant appearance of the material. To ensure you can preserve and maintain
this, we recommend that you regularly wipe the doors, in an up and down motion
with a soft, dry and clean piece of kitchen roll. For further information, please
contact Beko Customer Services.

KEY DO'S AND DON'TS

Do- Clean your appliance regularly (See "Cleaning and Care")
Do- Keep raw meat and poultry below cooked food and dairy products.
Do- Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil.
Do- Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem.
Do- Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in a polythene bag
excluding as much air as possible. For best results take out of the fridge
compartment an hour before eating.
Do- Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene or aluminium foil. This
prevents drying.
Do- Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags.
Do- Wrap food which have a strong odour or can dry out in polythene bags,
aluminium foil or place in an airtight container.
Do- Wrap bread well to keep it fresh.
Do- Chill white wines, beer, lager and mineral water before serving.
Do- Check contents of the freezer every so often.
Do- Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to "Best Before",
"Use by" etc. dates.
Do- Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given
on the packets that you buy.
Do- Always choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean
before you freeze it.
Do- Prepare fresh food for freezing in small portions to ensure rapid freezing.
Do- Wrap all food in aluminium foil or freezer quality polythene bags and
make sure any air is excluded.
Do- Wrap frozen food when you buy it and put it in to the freezer as soon as
possible.
Do- Defrost food in the fridge compartment.
Do- Remove ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving.

Don't- Store bananas in your fridge compartment.
Don't- Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it
is wrapped to avoid it flavouring other food.
Don't- Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance.
It has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Don't- Consume food which has been stored for an excessive time in the fridge.
Don't- Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should
be packaged and stored separately.
Don't- Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.
Don't- Leave the door open for long periods as this will make the appliance more
costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.
Don't- Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first.
Don't- Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into
the freezer as they may burst.
Don't- Exceed the maximum freezing loads (13 kg in any 24 hours) when
freezing fresh food.
Don't- Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low
temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on lips.
Don't- Freeze fizzy drinks.
Don't- Try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it should be eaten within
24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
Don't- Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
Don't- Close the freezer door before placing the compartment drawer in place.
Don’t- 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.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1- Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area. If the ambient

temperature is low (but in no case lower than 5 degrees C), then the energy
saving will be more.

2- Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your
appliance is kept at minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use

a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.

3- Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and
ensure they are closed properly after each opening.

4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an
ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.

5-When the Multi Zone Storage Compartment is set as freezer, the upper drawer
must be taken out and the upper shelf must be relocated the lower position for the
most effcient use of energy.
