Function Description
The Beko B5RCNE405HG is a refrigerator designed for household use, intended for storing and cooling food items. It features a cooler compartment and a freezer compartment, with various internal components such as adjustable door shelves, bottle shelf, egg holders, adjustable front legs, ice container, cold storage drawer, crisper, adjustable shelves, foldable wine bin, and illumination lamp. The appliance incorporates advanced technologies like AeroFlow for homogeneous temperature distribution and Crisper Technologies (Blue Light and HarvestFresh) to preserve the vitamin content and freshness of fruits and vegetables.
The control panel allows users to manage various settings:
- Wireless Key: Enables connection to the HomeWhiz mobile application for remote control and monitoring.
- Cooler Compartment Temperature Setting Key: Adjusts the temperature of the cooler compartment from 1°C to 8°C.
- Freezer Compartment Temperature Setting Key: Sets the freezer compartment temperature to values between -18°C and -24°C.
- Quick Freezing Key: Activates a quick freeze function, setting the freezer to -27°C for 24 hours, ideal for freezing large amounts of fresh food.
- Vacation Function Key: Activates a vacation mode, which deactivates active cooling in the cooler compartment while maintaining cooling in other compartments, suitable when no food is stored in the cooler.
- Refrigerator On/Off: Turns the refrigerator on or off.
- Error Status Indicator: Illuminates to indicate inadequate cooling or sensor errors, displaying "E" in the freezer temperature indicator and numerical codes in the cooler temperature indicator for service information. It also warns if warm food is loaded or the door is left open for too long.
Important Technical Specifications
- Model Identifier: B5RCNE405HG.
- Refrigerant: R600a, a flammable gas. The amount is specified on the type label.
- Electrical Connection: Requires a grounded socket conforming to the Voltage, Current, and Frequency values on the type label, with a 10A - 16A fuse.
- Installation Clearance: At least 30 cm from heat sources (stoves, ovens, heating units) and 5 cm from electrical ovens. A minimum of 5 cm clearance is required between the product and the ceiling, rear wall, and side walls for adequate air circulation.
- Refrigerant Volume: At least 1 m³ of volume is required for each 8 grams of refrigerant in the installation room.
- Protection Class: Class I.
- Climate Class: The manual specifies different climate classes (SN, N, ST, T) with corresponding ambient temperature ranges, indicating the suitable operating environment for the device. Users should refer to the rating plate for their specific device's climate class.
- Lighting Source: Equipped with a lighting source of "G" energy class, which should only be replaced by a professional repairer.
- Spare Part Availability: Original spare parts for the refrigerator are available for 10 years.
- Guarantee Duration: Minimum 24 months.
Usage Features
- Energy Saving: Recommendations include not keeping doors open for long periods, avoiding placing hot food inside, not overfilling, and defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment. The appliance also features an automatic indicator panel turn-off after 1 minute of door closure.
- Food Storage: Raw meat and fish should be stored in appropriate compartments to prevent dripping onto other foods. The cold storage drawer is designed for delicatessen products, meat, chicken, or fish to be consumed quickly, not for fruits and vegetables. Two-star freezer compartments are for pre-filled foods, ice, and ice cream, while one, two, and three-star compartments are not suitable for freezing fresh food.
- Crisper Technologies:
- Blue Light: Uses blue light to enable photosynthesis in fruits and vegetables, preserving vitamin content.
- HarvestFresh: Utilizes blue, green, red lights, and dark cycles to simulate a day cycle, extending the vitamin preservation of fruits and vegetables.
- Door Reversal: The door opening side can be reversed, but this operation should be performed by an authorized service.
- Door Open Alert: An audible alert sounds if the door remains open for 1 minute, stopping when the door is closed or any button on the display is pressed.
- AeroFlow: An air distribution system that ensures homogeneous temperature distribution in the fresh food storage compartment, minimizing temperature fluctuations and moisture loss to preserve food freshness.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning:
- Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
- Use only cleaning and maintenance agents that are not harmful for food.
- Do not use sharp/abrasive tools, chemical solvents, soap, detergents, gas, gasoline, thinner, alcohol, or varnish.
- Clean the interior regularly with carbonated water.
- Clean the external surface with a mildly dampened micro-fibre cloth.
- Remove dust from the ventilation grill at the rear at least once a year.
- Clean door racks and shelves by lifting them upwards, washing, drying, and reattaching.
- Do not use chlorinated water or cleaning products on exterior or chrome-coated parts.
- Do not use steam or steamed cleaning materials.
- Clean water tanks not used for 48 hours and mains-fed water systems not used for more than 5 days.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a list of common issues and their solutions, such as the refrigerator not working (check plug, fuse, power outage), compressor not working (gas pressure imbalance, defrosting, incorrect temperature setting), increased operating noise (ambient temperature variations), refrigerator running too often/long (new product, high room temperature, hot food, open doors, low temperature setting, dirty/worn door washer), and condensation (humid environment, open doors, unsealed food).
- Self-Repair: End-users can self-repair certain parts like door handles, hinges, trays, baskets, and door gaskets, following instructions in the user manual or on support.beko.com. Repairs for other parts or not following instructions will void the warranty and may cause safety issues. Professional repairers should handle complex repairs like compressor or cooling circuit issues.
