Note: Figures in the instruction manual are schematic and may not correspond exactly with your product. If subject parts are not included in the product you have purchased, then it is valid for other models.

Please observe the following safety warnings for your BEKO CFG1582S:

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

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

• If you are discarding an old refrigerator with a lock or latch, disable the lock/latch to prevent the entrapment of young children.

• This fridge/freezer must only be used for its intended purpose: storing and freezing edible foodstuff.

• Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire. Your appliance contains non-CFC/HFC natural substances in the cooling system (R600a) and insulation (cyclopentane) which are potentially flammable if exposed to fire. Take care not to damage the cooling circuit/pipes 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.

• Ensure 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.

• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning safe use.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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. This appliance must be earthed. 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.

WARNING: 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.

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:

1. Connect the green-yellow or green (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the 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. Keep the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing it in your appliance to a minimum, particularly in summer. Use a cool bag or a 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; it will act 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 for the bottom drawer to achieve maximum loading capacity.

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 using your refrigerator, check the following:

1. Attach 2 plastic wedges as illustrated in the manual. These wedges are intended to keep the distance which will ensure 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 of the refrigerator 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 to operate. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running; this is normal.

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

Additionally, for the first six hours of operation:

• 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, see the warnings in the troubleshooting section.

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

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. There must be appropriate air ventilation around your refrigerator for efficient operation. If placing it in a recess, there must be at least 5 cm distance from the ceiling and the wall. Do not place the product on materials like 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 this could injure your fingers and hands.

• This appliance is not designed for stacking. When positioning it, 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.

To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. Its intended purpose is to assist the user in placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer safely and comfortably. The lamps must withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 °C.

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 (clockwise) and raised when you turn in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise). Having someone slightly lift the refrigerator will make this process easier.

To reverse the doors on your BEKO CFG1582S, you must proceed in the numerical order as shown in the diagram on page 13 of the user manual. This process involves removing hinges and brackets from one side of the appliance and reinstalling them on the opposite side.

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control. The settings range from 1 to 5:

• 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 is also affected by:

• Seasonal temperatures.

• How frequently the door is opened and for how long.

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

• The location of the refrigerator (e.g., exposure to sunlight).

The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks. Store food in the following locations:

Store milk products in the intended compartment in the cooler/freezer. Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or on 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.

Attention: 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 CFG1582S 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.
