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 yourelectricity 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 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

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 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.

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.
Please do not forget…
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

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. You can install the 2 plastic wedges
as illustrated in the figure. Plastic
wedges will provide the required
distance between your refrigerator
and the wall in order to allow the air
circulation. (The illustrated figure is
only an example and does not match
exactly with your product.)
7
3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance
and cleaning” section.
4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall
outlet. When the fridge door is open
the fridge compartment interior light
will come on.
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,
even if the compressor is not running
and this is quite normal.
6. 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 product to a grounded
socket which is being protected by a
fuse with the appropriate capacity.
Important:
• The connection must be in
compliance with national regulations.
• The power cable plug must be easily
accessible after installation.
• The specified voltage must be equal
to your mains voltage.
• Extension cables and multiway plugs
must not be used for connection.

replaced by a qualified electrician.
B Product must not be operated before
it is repaired! There is danger of
electric shock!
Disposing of the packaging
The 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.
• You may consult your authorized
dealer or waste collection center of
your municipality about the disposal
of your refrigerator.
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
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.

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.
