transportation and in use. In case of
damage do not expose the appliance
to fire or potential ignition source and
immediately ventilate the room where
the appliance is situated.
• Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices
or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances
inside the food storage compartments
of the appliance, unless they are
of the type recommended by the
manufacturer.
• We suggest you keep these
instructions in a safe place for easy
reference.
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental

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).
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.
1. Connect the green-yellow or green
(Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug
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.

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 must
be fitted either in the plug or adaptor
or in the main fuse box. If in doubt
contact a qualified electrician.
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.

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. 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 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.
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING
Final Check
Important Notes :
Before you start using the refrigerator
check that:
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.
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
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.
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.
6. We recommend that you set
the thermostat at 3 (three) and
monitor the temperature to ensure
the appliance maintains desired
storage temperatures (See section
Temperature Control and Adjustment).
7. 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).

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.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
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 core as quickly as
possible.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
AND ADJUSTMENT
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest
setting)
Fast Freeze = 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 is turned counter clockwise
from position 1. Lower temperatures can
be obtained by adjusting the thermostat
towards position Fast Freeze.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of
your appliance in 24 h which is 10 kg
(22 lb) Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the
refrigeration compressor to operate
continuously until the food is frozen
solid.If you are going to freeze fresh
food in excess of 2kg. (4.5 lb) turn the
thermostat to the fast freeze position
a few hours before placing the fresh
food in the freezer.Remember to turn
the thermostat back to its previous
position once food has frozen.It is
recommended to place fresh food to
be frozen in fast freeze compartment
of the freezer.Take special care not to
mix already frozen food and fresh food.
