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 freezer inner liner.
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 Belling 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 themains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the
colouredmarkings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as
follows: (See diagram).

green (Earth) wire to the terminal
in the plug marked 'E' or with the
symbol
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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller
than 10 cubic metres.
2. See for detailed Installation Instructions including reversing door opening
direction.
3. 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.
4. 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")
5. Refer to cleaning and care section to prepare your appliance for use.
A special receptacle is supplied to store the
6.
mains plug during transit.
The receptacle is fixed at the back of the
cabinet, on the 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.

SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
1. Baked, chilled cooked food,
dairy products, cans.
2. Wine,
3. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
4. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
5. Frozen food and
freezing of fresh food.
6. Frozen food.
7. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.
9. Eggs.
10. Tall, large bottles, beverages.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the
best results and storage hygiene.
1. The fridge compartment is for the short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is
storage of pre frozen food. The recommendation for storage as
stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables
should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf.
Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For
safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages
to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances.
High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned
food should not be stored in the can.
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C.
The refore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce
in polythene bags.
10. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge inner
liner where the cold wall is located.
1 1. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable.
12. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.
13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the
ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be
made from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first
time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that
after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature
is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend
you set the thermostat half way between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor
to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder
fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be
cooler or warmer (such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet)
which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F).
Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting thermostat knob towards
5 position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the
desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce
the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the
fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once
the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting
again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if
required.
