Need help?Do you have a question about the Beko BLSD4V577 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an instruction manual for a Beko Built-In Cooler, model BLSD4V577. It provides comprehensive guidance on the appliance's function, usage, and maintenance, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
The Beko Built-In Cooler is designed for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks, offering a reliable cooling solution for domestic household use. Its primary function is to maintain foodstuffs at optimal temperatures, thereby preserving their freshness and extending their shelf life. The appliance operates using a completely environmentally friendly refrigerant, R600a, which is flammable under certain conditions, emphasizing the importance of following safety guidelines.
The cooler features a user-friendly control panel, allowing for easy temperature adjustments and activation of special functions. The "On/Off Indicator" button allows users to turn the fridge on or off by pressing it for 3 seconds. When the fridge is off, a specific symbol will be lit, and all other symbols will be turned off. The "Fridge temperature setting button" enables users to set the desired temperature for the fridge compartment, with options ranging from 8°C down to 2°C and back to 8°C.
A "Quick fridge function" is available for rapidly cooling food placed in the fridge. This function can be activated or deactivated with a brief press of its dedicated button. The Quick Cool indicator will turn off, and the product will return to its normal settings automatically after a maximum of 1 hour or once the desired temperature is reached. This function is particularly useful when a large quantity of fresh food needs to be cooled quickly. It is important to note that this function is not recalled after a power failure.
The cooler also includes an "Alarm Off" button. If the fridge door is left open for 1 minute, an audible alarm will sound. Pressing the "Alarm Off" button will silence this alarm. If the door is closed and then reopened after 1 minute, the "Door open alarm" will reactivate. In the event of a sensor failure, a warning icon will illuminate, and pressing the "Alarm off" button will clear this warning.
For extended periods away, a "Vacation Function" can be activated by pressing its button for 3 seconds. When active, a specific indicator will light up, and the fridge temperature display will show "- -", indicating that no active cooling is performed. This function is not suitable for keeping food in the fridge and should be used when the appliance is empty. To cancel this function, the vacation function button must be pressed again.
The internal layout of the cooler is designed for organized storage. It includes movable shelves, a wine rack, a dairy bin, and vegetable drawers with a crisper cover. Adjustable door shelves and a bottle shelf provide additional storage flexibility. The dairy (cold storage) bin offers a lower temperature environment within the refrigerator compartment, ideal for storing delicatessen items like salami, sausages, dairy products, or meat, chicken, and fish products intended for immediate consumption. Fruits and vegetables should not be stored in this bin.
A notable feature is "HarvestFresh" technology, which illuminates the crispers with blue, green, and red lights, along with dark cycles, to simulate a day cycle. This helps preserve the vitamin content (vitamins A and C) of fruits and vegetables for a longer time. If the refrigerator door is opened during the dark period of HarvestFresh, the system automatically detects this and enables the lights to illuminate the crisper for user convenience. Once the door is closed, the dark period resumes.
The Beko Built-In Cooler is designed for automatic defrosting. The defrost water collects in a container at the back of the appliance and drains through a tube. During defrosting, water droplets may form on the back wall of the fridge, where the concealed evaporator is located. Users are advised not to use pointed or sharp-edged objects to remove frozen droplets. If the drain tube becomes blocked by food particles, it can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the tube. Flushing with approximately 100ml of warm tap water is recommended to ensure proper drainage. If the blockage persists, a "refrigerator drain cleaning tool" can be used, followed by another 100ml of warm tap water. It is crucial not to flush with excessive water, as this can cause the evaporator tray to overflow and leak.
Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the appliance's hygiene and performance. Before cleaning, the appliance should be switched off and unplugged from the mains. Abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaners, detergents, and wax polish should not be used. The cabinet should be cleaned with lukewarm water and wiped dry. The interior can be cleaned with a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water, then wiped dry. Care must be taken to prevent water from entering the lamp housing.
If the appliance is not to be used for an extended period, it should be switched off, emptied of all food, cleaned, and the door left ajar to prevent odors and mold. Door seals should be regularly checked to ensure they are clean and free from food particles, as this impacts energy efficiency. Door racks can be removed for cleaning by pushing them upwards from their base after emptying their contents.
For maintenance of the condenser or plastic evaporator tray at the back of the product, which collects defrost water, professional service is recommended. These components are not typically accessible without uninstalling the product and usually do not require cleaning under normal operating conditions.
The appliance is equipped with a lighting source of "G" energy class. This lighting source should only be replaced by professional repairers.
Proper installation is crucial. The appliance should be placed in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources, humid places, and direct sunlight. Adequate air ventilation around the refrigerator is necessary for efficient operation. It should be placed on an even floor surface to prevent jolts and should not be operated in ambient temperatures below 10°C, as this can cause food in the fridge to freeze. Extension sockets, charging transformers/power supplies, or Lithium-Iron battery-operated products should not be located adjacent to the compressor, as they could overheat.
The mains cable must not be caught under or damaged by the appliance during carrying or moving. Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance or tamper with its controls. The appliance must be earthed, and if the fitted plug is unsuitable for the socket, it should be replaced by a qualified electrician. A special receptacle is provided at the back of the cabinet to store the mains plug during transit, and care should be taken to gently remove the plug without pulling the mains cord to avoid damage.
The instruction manual also includes important energy-saving tips, such as minimizing door opening times, defrosting frozen food in the fridge, and ensuring proper food packaging. It also provides information on compliance with WEEE and RoHS directives, emphasizing the product's recyclability and the absence of harmful materials.
