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.

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.

Before operating your
refrigerator
Before starting to use your refrigerator

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.

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.
