INTRODUCTION
BCD-230
INSTALLATION
Location
When selecting a position for your Fridge/Freezer you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well
ventilated. Avoid locating your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight
in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Fridge/Freezer in an out-building such as a garage or annex
ensure that the Fridge/Freezer is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Fridge/Freezer
cabinet. When working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 300mm of free space should be
spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator.
Leveling the Freezer
If the Freezer is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may cause you Freezer to work
incorrectly. Once the Freezer is placed in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.

Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water
using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely
before replacing in the Freezer. The external parts of the Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish.
Before plugging in YOUMUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the Freezer. Before
switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FREEZER.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before
switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your Freezer
Before storing foods in your Freezer, turn the Freezer on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working
properly and to allow the Freezer to fail to the correct temperature.
Switching on your Fridge/Freezer
1 Before connecting the Fridge/Freezer to the mains supply position. TheThermostat control dial is
located inside the Fridge compartment.
2 Turn the thermostat knob to the“3”position and turn on electricity. Thecompressor and the light inside
the refrigerator will begin to work.
3 Wait 24 hours before placing food into the Fridge/Freezer, thetemperature inside your Fridge/Freezer
will then be cool enough to chill and freeze foods sufficiently.
Adjusting the temperature
The temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartment is controlled by the temperature controller
installed on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. We strongly recommend you use a freezer
thermostat to check that the temperature is below -18 centigrade before loading any food. This can take 2
- 3 hours.
2. The marks on the knob are the temperature grades, NOT the exact degrees of temperature. “0”is
“OFF”and “7”represents the lowest
temperature.
3. Please start with the knob set to position“4”. Use a suitable thermometer to check the temperature
after two hours. The
refrigerator temperature should be set between +2ºC and +5ºand the freezer will vary between -18 and
-25 degrees centigrade over a typical cycle. To reduce the refrigerator temperature turns the knob
towards“7”and check after one hour.
NOTE: The Fridge/Freezer may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or cold
room or if you open the Fridge/Freezer door too often.
Fast Freeze
1. Fast freezing makes water in the food form into fine ice crystal, so as to prevent the cell membrane
from being damaged and the cytoplasm from being lost when thawing, thus preserving the original
freshness and nutrition of food.
2. Fresh food and fish to be preserved for a long time should be frozen in a fast manner. To realize fast
freezing, please adjust the knob switch to mode "7" before adding the food.
3. After fast freezing, turn the knob back to its original mode (In general, the fast freezing time shall not
exceed 4 hours).
IN USE
1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature
becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the
cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
2. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of the
refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a
warning that the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these
factors
3. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in
low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold
4.The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of
food
5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning could shorten the storage life
6. It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of the glass shelves.
7. the care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the
refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system)
Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge

Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep
raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and
vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal
temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When returning from
shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in
or take it out.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.
Tips for shopping for frozen foods
Your Freezer is 4 star
When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to
store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating. This is usually the period
stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the packaging.
Check the Fridge/Freezer temperature
Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should
show a temperature lower than -18℃.
Choose packs carefully
Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
Purchase frozen food last Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the
supermarket.
Keep frozen foods together
Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and on the journey home as this will help to keep the
food cooler.
Store food straight away
Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from
most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.
Thawing frozen foodFor some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can
be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a
saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
Freezing fresh foods, useful tips
Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it freezes faster,
takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.
Freezing fresh foods
First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food,
remember to turn the control dial to Max. This will lower the temperature in the Freezer (approx -30℃),
freezing your food quicker and helping to keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to
conserve energy.
Preparations for freezing
·Leave cooked food to cool completely.
·Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
·Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
·Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the Freezer.
·Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers,
aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
·Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks
excessive air out of the packaging.
·Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
·You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids with liquids,
such as stew) in square blocks.
This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square
sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area：
This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit

juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg.
Butter, margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats and lard.
Coldest area:
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.
NOTE：Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge.
This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in
the fridge.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/Freezer compartment. As a
temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a metal or
sharp instrument. Complete defrosting will however become necessary approximately once per year, or
if the frost layer exceeds 5mm to maintain the efficiency of the Fridge/Freezer. This should be carried
out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a
time when the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follow:
4. Take out the frozen food, turn the Fridge/Freezer off at the mains supply and leave the doors open.
Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible
wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then in a thick rug or
blanket and keep it in a cool place.
5. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To accelerate the thawing
process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, prize
it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
6. When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer as described.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of
soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in
warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it will normally run down the back wall
and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not
enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from
around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors are closed to
prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Freezer.
Vacation Time
Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
Remove all the food.
Clean the refrigerator.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the Freezer compartment is -18℃or less when the power returns, your
food is safe. The food in your Freezer will remain frozen for approx 16 hours with the door closed. Do not
open the Freezer door more than necessary.
The Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Freezer is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum setting and wait a

few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the local store where your purchase
was made.
The Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. Leave the Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If the problem
continues contact the local store where your purchase was made.
Noises inside the Freezer
If you have not owned a Freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most
noises are perfectly normal; however you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become
more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the
performance of your Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Moving the Freezer
Location
Do not place your Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in
out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Freezer
Make sure the Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Freezer is not level, the
doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Freezer for 4 hours
After the Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Installation
Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
m your local electrical sore and then fit it. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

•Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
•Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
•Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the

How to save energy
•Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating
ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range,
oven or dishwasher.
•The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot food inside the
refrigerator.
•Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings .Remove as many items as needed at one time
and close the door as soon as possible.
•The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the
formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
•Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this
reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the flow of air.
•Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on
moisture build-up inside the unit.
•Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run
longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could
cause food spoilage.
•During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator,
remove all the food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant
odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
•During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that
prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
