User manual BEKO CA5410

[. . . ] · This fridge/freezer must only be used for its intended purpose i. e the storing and freezing of edible foodstuff. At BEKO, the care and protection of our environment is an ongoing commitment. This appliance which is among the latest range introduced is particularly environment friendly. Your appliance contains non CFC / HFC natural substances in the cooling system (Called R600a) and in the insulation (Called cyclopentane) which are potentially flammable if exposed to fire. [. . . ] Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food. Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (see diagram) located on the ceiling of fridge compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the setting knob should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the knob half way between the min and max setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. towards max you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen. 11 12 DEFROSTING A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT The fridge compartment defrosts (2) automatically. The defrosting water runs Defrost Water to the drain tube via a collection Drain Tube Collection container at the back of the appliance (1). (see diagram) (1) During defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen. If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i. e.
