Before using your BEKO CCFM1582W, please observe the following safety warnings:

• Do not connect your appliance to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed.

• If transported horizontally, leave the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before switching on to allow compressor oil to settle.

• This fridge/freezer must only be used for its intended purpose, which is the storing and freezing of edible foodstuff.

• Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire.

• On delivery, check to make sure that the product is not damaged and that all parts and accessories are in perfect condition.

• Ensure that the plug remains readily accessible. Do not use a multiple adapter or extension cable.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

If you are discarding an old refrigerator with a lock or latch fitted to the door, you must disable the lock/latch. Ensure that it is left in a safe condition to prevent the entrapment of young children.

Yes, your BEKO CCFM1582W appliance contains non-CFC/HFC natural substances in the cooling system (R600a) and in the insulation (cyclopentane) which are potentially flammable if exposed to fire. Therefore, take care not to damage the cooling circuit or pipes of the appliance during transportation and use. In case of damage, do not expose the appliance to fire or a potential ignition source and immediately ventilate the room where the appliance is situated.

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 correspond to your electricity supply. The rating label is on the left-hand side of the fridge inner liner.

It is recommended 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.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed. When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. Destroy the old plug as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere.

The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13 A fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. The colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same as that visible on the pin face of the plug.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings in your plug, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the green-yellow or green (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the earth 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.

4. 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.

1. Ensure your appliance is installed in a well-ventilated area.

2. Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing it in your appliance is kept to a minimum, particularly in summer. Use a cool bag or special carrier bag for 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 the frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.

5. The energy consumption of this appliance is measured while the freezer compartment is loaded without the use of the top shelf lid and the drawers, except for the bottom drawer. It is advised that the freezer compartment is loaded without the use of drawers (except the bottom one) to achieve maximum loading capacity.

Dispose of your old refrigerator without causing any harm to the environment. You may consult your authorized dealer or the waste collection center of your municipality about the disposal of your refrigerator.

Before disposing of your old refrigerator, cut out the electric plug. If there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable to protect children against any danger.

1. Your refrigerator should be unplugged. Before transportation, it should be emptied and cleaned.

2. Before it is re-packaged, shelves, accessories, crisper, etc., inside your refrigerator should be fixed with adhesive tape and secured against impacts. The package should be bound with a thick tape or sound ropes, and the transportation rules on the package should be strictly observed.

3. Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

Before you start to use your refrigerator, please do the following:

1. Attach the 2 plastic wedges as illustrated in the manual. These are intended to keep a distance for air circulation between your refrigerator and the wall.

2. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

3. Connect the plug to the wall socket. When the fridge door is opened, the internal lamp will turn on.

4. You will hear a sound when the compressor starts. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running, which is quite normal.

5. The front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal and is designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

The condenser of your appliance is located on the back. To achieve better energy efficiency with lower energy consumption, please pull the condenser towards yourself as illustrated in the user manual. This feature may not be available in all models.

1. Install your refrigerator in a place that allows for ease of use.

2. Keep your refrigerator away from heat sources, humid places, and direct sunlight.

3. Ensure there is appropriate air ventilation around your refrigerator for efficient operation. If the refrigerator is placed in a recess in the wall, there must be at least 5 cm distance from the ceiling and at least 5 cm from the wall. Do not place your product on materials such as a rug or carpet.

4. Place your refrigerator on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.

Important:

• Be careful when cleaning or carrying the appliance to avoid touching the bottom of the condenser metal wires at the back, as you might injure your fingers and hands.

• This appliance is not designed for stacking with any other appliance.

• When positioning, take care not to damage your flooring, pipes, wall coverings, etc.

• Make sure the mains cable is not caught under the appliance during and after moving it, to avoid the cable being cut or damaged.

If your refrigerator is unbalanced, you can balance it by turning its front legs. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of the black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Having someone slightly lift the refrigerator will make this process easier.

When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours:

• The door should not be opened frequently.

• It must be operated empty without any food in it.

• Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs, please see the warnings in the troubleshooting section.

• Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

Yes, this appliance is equipped with ‘Freezer Guard’ which ensures that at the advised setting [4 – four on the control] the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. This allows you to install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without worrying about frozen food being spoilt. However, at low ambient temperatures, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the setting to suit your needs.

To reverse the doors on your BEKO CCFM1582W, you need to proceed in the numerical order as shown in the diagram on page 13 of the user manual.

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control dial.

• 1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting).

• 5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting).

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C. Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature. Note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area, with the coldest region being immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature of your BEKO CCFM1582W changes for the following reasons:

• Seasonal temperatures.

• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods.

• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to room temperature.

• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g., exposing it to sunlight).

You can adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat.

The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks. Follow these guidelines for placement:

Store milk products in the intended compartment in the cooler/freezer. Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door. Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the cooler/freezer.

• Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature before placing them in the cooler/freezer.

• Store concentrated alcohol only standing upright and tightly closed.

• Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (canned cream, spray cans, etc.) in the freezer, as there is a danger of explosion.

The BEKO CCFM1582W appliance defrosts automatically. You should check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged and clear it with the stick provided in the hole when necessary.

• Never use gasoline, benzene, or similar substances for cleaning.

• It is recommended that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.

• Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent, or wax polish.

• Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

• Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.

• If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it, and leave the door ajar.
