Frequently Asked Questions - BSD4868 Becken

How do I adjust the temperature on my Becken BSD4868 refrigerator?

The temperature is controlled by a mechanical dial inside the fridge compartment. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperature. A medium setting (3-4) is recommended for normal use.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?

Check if the door is fully closed, the condenser coils are clean, and the temperature dial is set correctly. Also ensure the appliance is not placed near a heat source or in direct sunlight. If problem persists, contact a technician.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

The freezer requires manual defrosting when ice buildup reaches about 5mm thickness. This typically occurs every 6-12 months depending on usage. Follow the defrost instructions in the manual.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door hinge is reversible. The user manual provides step-by-step instructions to change the door swing. You will need a screwdriver and possibly a helper.

What should I do if the interior light is not working?

First, check if the door switch is functioning properly. If the bulb (LED) is faulty, it must be replaced by a qualified technician as it is not user-serviceable. Contact Becken support.

Unplug the appliance. Remove all food and shelves. Clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wipe dry and replace shelves. Clean the condenser coils at least once a year with a vacuum cleaner.

What is the energy consumption of this refrigerator?

The Becken BSD4868 has an estimated annual energy consumption of 300 kWh. This corresponds to energy efficiency class E (EU energy label). Actual consumption depends on usage and environment.

How long does it take for the refrigerator to reach the correct temperature after first use?

It may take up to 4-6 hours for the refrigerator to reach its optimal temperature after first plugging in. Avoid opening the door frequently during this period.

Are spare parts available for this model?

Yes, Becken commits to providing spare parts for at least 7 years after the model is discontinued. Common spare parts include shelves, door gaskets, and temperature dials.

What is the noise level of this refrigerator?

Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.

Bubbling When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.

Splashing Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.

Energy saving tips

• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth.
• Do not open the door too often or leave the door open any longer than necessary. Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
• Make sure the side plates and back plate of the appliance are at a distance from the wall, follow the relevant instructions regarding installation.
• If the sketch map shows the right combination of the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination, it would result in more energy-consuming.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performances:

• Do not store warm foods or evaporating liquids in the appliance.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc...: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf. Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Milk bottle: these should have a cap on and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door
