Making Ice Cubes; Replacing The Interior Light Bulb; Cleaning And Care - Beko RDSA240K20XB Gebrauchsanweisung

The quality of the food is best preserved when it is
frozen right through to the core as quickly as
possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of
your appliance in 24 h. Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the refrigeration
machine to operate continously until the food is
frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment. When
freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat knob at
medium position. Small quantities of food up to 1/2
kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the
temperature control knob. Take special care not to
mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place
it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance (Item 5).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a 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 or forks to remove the droplets which have
refrozen. If, at any time, the defrost water does not
drain from the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube
can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or similar
implement. Check that the tube is permanently
placed with its end in the collecting tray on the
compressor to prevent the water spilling on the
electric installation or on the floor (Item 6).
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess,
thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost
twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4")
mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure,
switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in
several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder). Containers of warm
water may be placed carefully in the freezer to
speed up the defrosting. Do not use pointed or
sharp-edged objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost. Never use hairdryers, electrical
heaters or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting. Sponge out the defrost water collected in
the bottom of the freezer compartment.
After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert
the plug into the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply.

Replacing the interior light bulb

To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of

Cleaning and care

1. We recommend that you switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug before cleaning.
2. Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive
substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent
or wax polish for cleaning.
3. Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of
the appliance and wipe it dry.
4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of
one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint
of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
5. Make sure that no water enters the
temperature control box.
6. If the appliance is not going to be used for a
long period of time, switch it off, remove all food,
clean it and leave the door ajar.
7. We recommend that you polish the metal parts
of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet sides)
with a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high
quality paint finish.
8. Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which
is located at the back of the appliance, should be
removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
9. Check door seals regularly to ensure they are
clean and free from food particles.
10. Never:
• Clean the appliance with unsuitable material; eg
petroleum based products.
• Subject it to high temperatures in any way,
• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
11. Removal of dairy cover and door tray:
• To remove the dairy cover, first lift the cover up
by about an inch and pull it off from the side
where there is an opening on the cover.
• To remove a door tray, remove all the contents and
then simply push the door tray upwards from the base.
12. Make sure that the special plastic container at
the back of the appliance which collects defrost
water is clean at all times.
