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 the freezer liner.
We recommend that this appliance is connected to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket. The socket must be in an 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 can be obtained from a BEKO authorised service
agent.

IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller
than 10 cubic metres.
2. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct
sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed
next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side
clearances:
From Cookers 2" (50 mm)
From Radiators 12" (300 mm)
From Refrigerators or Larder Fridge 1" (25 mm)
3. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free
air circulation. Allow a minimum of 60 mm (2.4 inches) between the top of the
appliance and the ceiling or the underside of a wall cupboard.
4. 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).
5. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.
The two front feet can be adjusted as required.
To ensure that,your appliance is standing
Electronic card
(covered by plastic cover)
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.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
There are three coloured indicator lights located inside the appliance which show
the operating mode of the freezer (Fig. 2).
Amber Indicator (1)
Illuminates when the fast-freeze switch (4) is turned on and stays on until the fast
freeze operation is deactivated manually.
Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food, section).
Green Indicator (2)
Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long
as there is electricity present. The green indicator does not give any indication
of the temperature inside the freezer.
Red Indicator (3)
Illuminates
a. When the appliance is first switched on, and will stay on until the pre-set
temperature has been attained.
b. If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food.
c. If the appliance door is left open accidentally.
Thermostat knob (5)
The thermostat knob is located on the top control panel.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze switch, there may be a short delay before the
compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.
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.

STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.
1. The front feet have been adjusted so the appliance is level.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will
glow and the compressor will start running in about five minutes.
5. 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, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
6. If you are going to store frozen food open the freezer door and check
that the fast-freeze button is off (the amber light will not come on). When
temperature reaches -18 °C or below, you can put in your frozen food. (See
Storing Frozen Food page 8).
7. If you are going to freeze fresh food, you must press the fast-freeze button. The
amber light will come on and you must wait at least three hours before putting
in your fresh food to be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh Food, Page: 9).
8. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
9. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the
manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
10. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the
correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you
check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature
Control and Adjustment).
Important Notes :
1. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 25 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
2. If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't
worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the
door to open normally after a few moments.
3. You will hear a suction sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
Warm Cold
1 2 3 4
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)
4 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with
which the door is opened and the amount of food kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after
use.
The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). If the
thermostat knob is turned counter clockwise from position 1, the appliance will be
switched off and “click” sound will be heard. Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the
reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
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. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
3. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD
MAKING ICE CUBES
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 11 kg (24.2 lb). Never
exceed this maximum capacity.
Fast freeze compartment (2) is shown in diagram. Leave the fast freeze switch on
for about 24 hours if the maximum quantity (11 kg / 24.2 lb) is being frozen.
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 centre as quickly as possible.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
If the fast freeze compartment (2) is filled with fresh food, other
compartments can also be used to freeze fresh food. Ice-bank (3) has
been specially designed to obtain ice cubes (see making Ice Cubes).

DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer baskets. Fold out the spout, place a bowl underneath the spout
to collect the water. Ensure you use a bowl large enough to contain the defrost
water. Normally the volume of the bowl should be about 4 (four) litres. Leave the
freezer door open.
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed up
the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to
remove the frost.

heaters and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, fold back the spout and dry the interior
thoroughly. Turn the thermostat knob to 3 and press fast freeze switch. Remove
the bowl and Empty it. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply. Don't forget to tape over the switch to avoid
accidental disconnection.After about three hours you may turn off the fast freeze
switch.

CLEANING AND CARE
** We recommend that you switch off the freezer 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 freezer 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.
** If the freezer 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.
** To remove a drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and
then pull it out completely.
** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the
freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food
particles.
