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.

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.

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.

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.

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 condanser at the back

of the appliance (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.

7.A special receptacle is supplied to store the mains plug during transit. The receptacle is fixed at the back of the

cabinet, on the right hand side of the compressor. (See diagram) Gently remove

the plug from the receptacle. Never pull the mains cord, you may damage the appliance. In the case of transportation, ensure you locate the plug in the receptacle

provided to avoid transit damage.
