Installation
Right Place For Installation
Contact the Authorized Service for the Beko BLSA16040SN Range Refrigerator installation. To prepare the refrigerator for installation, see the information in the user manual and make sure the electric and water utilities are as required. If not, call a qualified electrician and plumber to arrange the utilities as necessary.
- Place the Beko BLSA16040SN Range Refrigerator on a flat surface to avoid vibration.
- Keep the refrigerator at least 30 cm away from the heater, stove, and similar sources of heat and at least 5 cm away from electric ovens.
- When placing two coolers in adjacent positions, leave at least 4 cm distance between the two units.
- Keep the Beko BLSA16040SN Range Refrigerator out of direct sunlight and in a dry place.
- Check if the rear wall clearance protection component is present at its location (if provided with the product).
Hot Surface
The side walls of the Beko BLSA16040SN Range Refrigerator are equipped with cooler pipes to enhance the cooling system. High-pressure fluid may flow through these surfaces and cause hot surfaces on the side walls. This is normal and does not require servicing.
Preparation
What To Do For Energy Saving
- Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food.
- Under these circumstances, functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display, and so on will operate according to the needs by consuming minimum energy.
- In case that multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf.
- This combination may help improve air distribution and energy efficiency.
- Store food in the cooler or chill compartment according to proper storage conditions to save energy.
Before First Use
Before using your product, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in the “Safety Instructions” and “Installation” sections.
- Wait for at least 2 hours before operating the product to ensure the complete efficiency of refrigeration.
- Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 6 hours, and the product door should be kept as closed as possible.
- The temperature change caused by opening and closing the door while using the product may normally lead to condensation on the door/body shelves and glassware placed in the product.
- A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is normal for the product to make noise even if the compressor is not running, as fluid and gas may be compressed in the cooling system.
- It is normal for the front edges of the product to be warm.
- These areas are designed to warm up to prevent condensation.
- For some models, the indicator panel turns off automatically 1 minute after the door closes. It will be reactivated when the door is opened or any button is pressed.
Use of Your Appliance
Setting the Operating Temperature
The operating temperature is set by the temperature control.
You may also see Min. = Lowest cooling and Max. = Highest cooling. The average temperature inside the cooler compartment should be around +5°C, so select a setting based on your desired cooling needs.
Please note that different zones of the Beko BLSA16040SN Range Refrigerator may have slightly different temperatures. The coldest zone is just above the crisper. Internal temperature also depends on the ambient conditions, frequency of door openings, and the amount of food stored inside.
Food Storage
The refrigerator compartment is intended for short-term storage of fresh food and drinks. Store dairy products in the designated compartment of the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or on the bottle shelf in the door. Raw meat is best stored in a polyethylene bag in the lowest compartment of the refrigerator. Allow hot food and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
Defrosting
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is done automatically. The defrosted water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the back of the appliance. During defrosting, water drops form at the back of the refrigerator due to the evaporator.
If the drops do not all flow downwards, they may freeze again after defrosting. Clean them with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never with a hard or sharp object.
Do not place your hands, feet, or metal objects under the refrigerator or between the refrigerator and the floor for whatsoever reason. Jamming may occur, or any sharp edge may cause personal injuries.
