Beko CDA 540, Installation, Operation & Food Storage Instructions

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 

Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set 
at any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position). 
The average temperature inside  the fridge should be 5°C (+41°F). 
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain the desired temperature. Some sections of  
the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as salad crisper and top part of the cabinet)  
which is  quite normal. We recommend that you check the temperature periodically 
with a thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to this temperature. Frequent 
door openings cause internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to close the door 
as soon as possible after use. 

BEFORE OPERATING 

Final Check 

Before you start using the appliance check that: 
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling. 
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear. 
3. The interior is clean as recommended under "Cleaning and care.” 
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. 
When the door is open the interior light will come on. 

And note that: 

5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed 
within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor 
is running or not. This is quite normal. 
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing 
process used;  it is not a defect. 
7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob midway and monitor the temperature to 
ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section 
Temperature Control and Adjustment). 
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct 
storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature 
with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment). 

STORING FROZEN FOOD 

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and 
also can be used to freeze and store fresh food. 
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if 
the failure lasts for less than 18 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be 
checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
