• Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire. At BEKO, the care and protection

of our environment is an ongoing commitment. This appliance which is among the latest range introduced is

particularly environment friendly. Your appliance contains non CFC / HFC

natural substances in the cooling system

(Called R600a) and in the insulation (Called cyclopentane) which are

potentially flammable if exposed to fire. Therefore, take care not to damage, the cooling circuit / pipes of the appliance in transportation and in use. In case of damage do not expose the appliance to fire or potential ignition source and immediately ventilate the room where the appliance is situated.

• We suggest you contact your local

authority for disposal information and facilities available.

• See Installation Instructions on on page

8 for information on suitable location.

• To obtain the best possible

performance and trouble free operation from your appliance it is very important to carefully read these instructions.

• On delivery, check to make sure that

the product is not damaged and that all the parts and accessories are in perfect condition.

• Ensure that the plug remains readily

accessible. Do not use multiple adapter bar or extension cable.

• Failure to observe these instructions

may invalidate your right to free service during the guarantee period.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the

appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

• Do not use mechanical devices or

other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before you insert the plug into the wall

socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown on 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

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.

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.

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.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

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

2- Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your appliance is kept to a 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.

3 Installation

C Please remember that the manufacturer

shall not be held liable if the information given in the instruction manual is not observed.

Points to be considered when re-transporting your refrigerator

1. Your refrigerator must be emptied and

cleaned prior to any transportation.

2. Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc.

in your refrigerator must be fastened securely by adhesive tape against any jolt before repackaging.

3. Packaging must be tied with thick tapes and strong ropes and the rules of transportation printed on the package must be followed.

C Always remember...

Every recycled material is an indispensable source for the nature and for our national resources.

If you wish to contribute to recycling the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.

Before operating your refrigerator

Before starting to use your refrigerator

check the following:

1. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and can the air circulate freely in the rear of it?

2. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as

recommended in the “Maintenance and

cleaning” section.

3. Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet. When the door is open the respective interior light will come on.

4. You will hear a noise as the compressor

starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal.

5. Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

Electric connection

Connect your refrigerator to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

B The connection must be in compliance

with national regulations.

B The power cable plug must be easily

accessible after installation.

B Voltage and allowable fuse protection

are specified in the “Technical

Specifications” section.

B The specified voltage must be equal to

your mains voltage.

B Extension cables and multiway plugs

must not be used for connection.

B A damaged power cable must be

replaced by a qualified electrician.

B The appliance must not be operated

before it is repaired! There is danger of electric shock!

Disposing of the packaging

AThe packing materials may be

dangerous for children. Keep the

packing materials out of the reach of children or dispose them of by classifying them in accordance with the waste instructions. Do not dispose them of along with the normal household waste.

The packing of your refrigerator is produced from recyclable materials.

Disposing of your old refrigerator

Dispose of your old machine without giving any harm to the environment.

A You may consult your authorized dealer

or waste collection center of your municipality about the disposal of your refrigerator.

A Before disposing of your refrigerator,

cut out the electric plug and, if there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable in order to protect children against any danger.

Placing and Installation

B Caution: Never plug the refrigerator

into the wall outlet during installation. Otherwise, risk of death or serious injury may arise.

1. Install your refrigerator to a place that

allows ease of use.

2. Keep your refrigerator away from

heat sources, humid places and direct sunlight.

3. There must be appropriate air

ventilation around your refrigerator in order to achieve an efficient operation. If the refrigerator is to be placed in a recess in the wall, there must be at least 5 cm distance with the ceiling and at least 5 cm with the wall.

If the floor is covered with a carpet, your product must be elevated 2.5 cm from the floor.

4. Place your refrigerator on an even

floor surface to prevent jolts.

5. Do not keep your refrigerator in

ambient temperatures under 10°C.

Floor balance adjustment

If your refrigerator is unbalanced;

You can balance your refrigerator by

turning the front legs of it as illustrated

in the figure. (See Figure A) The corner

where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.
