Please follow these essential safety warnings when using your BEKO CJFF1582W:

• 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, disable the lock/latch to prevent the entrapment of young children.

• This fridge/freezer must only be used for its intended purpose: the storing and freezing of 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. Take care not to damage the cooling circuit/pipes in transportation and use.

• In case of damage, do not expose the appliance to fire or a potential ignition source. 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 under supervision. Children should 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.

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. If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, the plug 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. 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. The colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour 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.

To save energy while using your BEKO CJFF1582W, follow these tips:

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 at 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. The frozen food 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 to load the freezer compartment without using drawers (except the bottom one) to achieve maximum loading capacity.

Disposing of your old refrigerator:

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. Before disposing, cut out the electric plug and make any locks on the door inoperable to protect children against any danger.

Disposing of the packaging:

The packaging materials of your BEKO CJFF1582W are produced from recyclable materials. They may be dangerous for children, so keep them out of reach. Dispose of them by classifying them according to local waste instructions. Do not throw them away with regular house waste; take them to packaging collection points designated by local authorities.

When relocating your BEKO CJFF1582W, please pay attention to the following points:

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 the 2 plastic wedges as illustrated in the manual. These wedges are intended to keep the 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. The fridge internal lamp will turn on when the door is opened.

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.

Additionally, for some models, to achieve better energy efficiency, pull the condenser towards yourself as illustrated in the manual.

Follow these guidelines for proper installation of your BEKO CJFF1582W:

1. Install your refrigerator in a place that allows for ease of use. If the entrance door of the room is not wide enough, carefully remove the refrigerator doors and pass it sideways through the door.

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 it’s placed in a recess, there must be at least 5 cm distance from the ceiling and the wall. Do not place it 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 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.

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

If your BEKO CJFF1582W refrigerator is unbalanced, you can balance it by turning its front legs. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn it 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 change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, you need to call your Authorised Service. The lamp(s) used in this appliance are not suitable for household room illumination. Their intended purpose is to assist the user in placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer safely and comfortably. These lamps are designed to withstand extreme physical conditions, such as temperatures below -20 °C.

When you operate your BEKO CJFF1582W 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, see the warnings in the troubleshooting section.

• Keep the original packaging and foam materials for future transportation.

9. Mount the lower door onto the lower hinge.

10. Re-attach the middle hinge on the new side.

11. Mount the upper door onto the middle hinge.

12. Re-attach the top hinge on the new side.

13. Re-fit the top hinge cover.

This is a general guide. The specific steps and components for your model are detailed numerically in the diagrams provided in the user manual.

The operating temperature of your BEKO CJFF1582W is regulated by the temperature control knob. 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; the coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on:

• Seasonal temperatures.

• How frequently the door is opened.

• The amount of food kept inside.

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

You may need to adjust the thermostat to account for these factors.

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

Additional Storage Tips:

• Store milk products in their 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 appliance.

• Store concentrated alcohol only standing upright and tightly closed.

• Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (e.g., canned cream, spray cans) in the freezer due to the danger of explosion.

Your BEKO CJFF1582W appliance defrosts automatically. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection channel. You should check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged and clear it with the stick provided in the hole when necessary.

Follow these instructions for cleaning and maintenance:

• We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.

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

• For the interior, use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water. Wipe it dry afterward.

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

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

• Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

• To remove door racks, remove all contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

• Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium-coated parts. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.

To protect the plastic surfaces, do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers, as they can damage the plastic. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

If your BEKO CJFF1582W refrigerator is not working, check the following:

• The power plug is not fully settled. >>> Plug it in to settle completely into the socket.

• The fuse connected to the socket or the main fuse is blown. >>> Check the fuses.

Condensation on the side wall can be caused by several factors:

• The door is opened too frequently. >>> Take care not to open the product’s door too frequently.

• The environment is too humid. >>> Do not install the product in humid environments.

• Foods containing liquids are kept in unsealed holders. >>> Keep foods containing liquids in sealed holders.

• The product’s door is left open. >>> Do not keep the product’s door open for long periods.

• The thermostat is set to a very low temperature. >>> Set the thermostat to an appropriate temperature.

If the compressor is not working, check these possible causes:

• In case of a sudden power failure or pulling the power plug off and putting it back on, the gas pressure in the cooling system is not balanced, which triggers the compressor thermic safeguard. The product will restart after approximately 6 minutes. If it does not restart, contact service.

• Defrosting is active. >>> This is normal for a fully-automatic defrosting product. The defrosting is carried out periodically.

• The product is not plugged in. >>> Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

• The temperature setting is incorrect. >>> Select the appropriate temperature setting.

• The power is out. >>> The product will continue to operate normally once the power is restored.

It’s normal for the refrigerator to run for extended periods under certain conditions:

• The new product may be larger than the previous one. Larger products will run for longer periods.

• The room temperature may be high. >>> The product will normally run for long periods in higher room temperature.

• The product may have been recently plugged in or a new food item is placed inside. >>> The product will take longer to reach the set temperature. This is normal.

• Large quantities of hot food may have been recently placed into the product. >>> Do not place hot food into the product.

• The doors were opened frequently or kept open for long periods. >>> The warm air moving inside will cause the product to run longer. Do not open the doors too frequently.

• The freezer or cooler door may be ajar. >>> Check that the doors are fully closed.

• The product may be set to a temperature that is too low. >>> Set the temperature to a higher degree and wait for the product to reach the adjusted temperature.

• The door washer may be dirty, worn out, broken, or not properly settled. >>> Clean or replace the washer. A damaged/torn door washer will cause the product to run for longer periods.

If food in the cooler compartment drawers is freezing, it’s likely because the cooler compartment temperature is set to a very low degree. Set the freezer compartment temperature to a higher degree and check again.

If the temperature is too high, consider the following:

• The cooler compartment temperature is set to a very high degree. >>> The temperature setting of the cooler compartment affects the freezer temperature. Change the temperature of the cooler or freezer and wait until the relevant compartments reach a sufficient temperature.

• The doors were opened frequently or kept open for long periods. >>> Do not open the doors too frequently.

• The door may be ajar. >>> Fully close the door.

• The product may have been recently plugged in or a new food item was placed inside. >>> This is normal. The product will take longer to reach the set temperature.

• Large quantities of hot food may have been recently placed into the product. >>> Do not place hot food into the product.

Shaking or noise can be due to the following:

• The ground is not level or durable. >>> If the product is shaking when moved slowly, adjust the stands to balance the product. Also, make sure the ground is sufficiently durable to bear the product.

• Any items placed on the product may cause noise. >>> Remove any items placed on the product.

• Liquid flowing, spraying, etc.: The product’s operating principles involve liquid and gas flows. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• Wind blowing: The product uses a fan for the cooling process. This is normal and not a malfunction.

Condensation on internal walls:

• Hot or humid weather will increase icing and condensation. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• The doors were opened frequently or kept open for long periods. >>> Do not open the doors too frequently; if open, close the door.

• The door may be ajar. >>> Fully close the door.

Condensation on the exterior or between doors:

• The ambient weather may be humid; this is quite normal in humid weather. The condensation will dissipate when the humidity is reduced.

If the interior smells bad, check these points:

• The product is not cleaned regularly. >>> Clean the interior regularly using a sponge, warm water, and carbonated water.

• Certain holders and packaging materials may cause odour. >>> Use holders and packaging materials without free of odour.

• The foods were placed in unsealed holders. >>> Keep the foods in sealed holders. Micro-organisms may spread out of unsealed food items and cause malodour. Remove any expired or spoilt foods from the product.

If the door is not closing properly:

• Food packages may be blocking the door. >>> Relocate any items blocking the doors.

• The product is not standing in a full upright position on the ground. >>> Adjust the stands to balance the product.

• The ground is not level or durable. >>> Make sure the ground is level and sufficiently durable to bear the product.

The vegetable bin may be jammed if food items are in contact with the upper section of the drawer. Reorganize the food items in the drawer to resolve this.

High temperatures may be observed between the two doors, on the side panels, and at the rear grill while the product is operating. This is normal and does not require service maintenance. Be careful when touching these areas.
