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
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

contact a qualified electrician.
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 perishable
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.
5. Energy consumption of this
appliance is measured while freezer
compartment is loaded without
use of top shelf lid and the drawers
except the bottom drawer. It is
advised that freezer compartment is
loaded without use of drawers except
the bottom drawer in order to achieve
maximum loading capacity.

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. 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

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.
6. Insert the 2 plastic wedges onto the
rear ventilation as illustrated in the
following figure. Unscrew the existing
ones and use the screws given in the
same bag of wedges. Plastic wedges
will provide the required distance
between your refrigerator and the wall
in order to allow the air circulation.

Crisper humidity control
sliders
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables
freshly without loosing their humidity.
Cold air circulates basically around
the crisper and the amount of the
cold air passing through the crisper is

side of the crisper cover.
You can adjust the humidity control
sliders to a suitable position according
to the humidity and cooling condition
of your food in the crisper.
If you want your food in the crisper
to cool more, open the holes of the
humidity control sliders and if you
want them to cool less and keep their
humidity for a longer time, close the
holes.
Recommendations for
preservation of frozen food
•Prepackedcommerciallyfrozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a ( 4 star) frozen
food storage compartment.
•Toensurethatthehighquality
supplied by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, following points should be
noted:
1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2.Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
3. Make sure that the "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging have
not expired.
If there is a power failure do not
open the freezer door. Even if the
power failure lasts up to the time
specified on Type Label (inside left of
the refrigerator), frozen food will not
be affected. In case the failure lasts
longer, the food must be checked and
when necessary, must be consumed
immediately or must be frozen after
cooked.
Defrosting
The fridge and freezer compartments
defrost automatically.
