Frequently Asked Questions - HSA47520F BEKO

How do I adjust the temperature on my Beko HSA47520F freezer?

Turn the thermostat knob inside the freezer. The 'MAX' position gives the lowest temperature. For normal use, set to an average position. The green LED indicates power, red LED warns of high temperature, and orange LED shows Superfrost mode.

What should I do if the red LED turns on?

The red LED lights if the internal temperature is too high. It may turn on briefly when first starting the freezer (15-45 minutes). If it stays on, check if the door is properly closed, the thermostat is set correctly, or the appliance is near a heat source. If the issue persists, contact service.

How do I use the Superfrost fast freeze function?

Turn the thermostat knob to the Superfrost position. The orange LED will light up. Wait 24 hours, then place fresh food in the freezer. The function automatically turns off after 50 hours, and the freezer returns to economic mode. Do not use Superfrost when adding frozen food or freezing less than 2 kg of fresh food daily.

How often should I defrost the freezer and how do I do it?

Defrost at least twice a year or when ice build-up is excessive. To defrost:
1. Set thermostat to a colder position before defrosting.
2. Unplug the appliance and remove frozen food (wrap in paper and store in a cool place).
3. Place the separator panel under the freezer, remove the plug to drain water.
4. Leave the door open to speed thawing. Do not use metal tools or electric heaters.
5. After ice melts, wipe and dry thoroughly, replace the drain plug.

Can I freeze fizzy drinks or bottles in the freezer?

No. Do not keep fizzy drinks (like soda, mineral water, champagne) in the freezer as the bottle may explode. Also, avoid freezing drinks in plastic bottles. Only freeze food intended for long-term storage.

What should I do during a power failure?

Keep the freezer door closed. Frozen food will remain unaffected for up to 36 hours if the door stays shut. Do not open the door unnecessarily. If power returns within that time, food is safe. Do not refreeze partially thawed food.

How do I clean the freezer interior and exterior?

Unplug the freezer. For interior, use lukewarm water with a mild neutral detergent. Avoid soap, gasoline, or acetone. Wipe with a damp sponge and dry with a soft cloth. For exterior, use a sponge with soapy warm water. Clean the condenser and compressor area with a soft brush or vacuum. Do not use abrasive materials.

Why is my freezer making noises?

Normal noises include: humming from the compressor (may be louder when starting), and bubbling/gurgling from refrigerant flowing in pipes. These are normal and should decrease once the operating temperature is reached. If you hear unusual sounds, check if the freezer is level or if anything is touching the back.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

Unplug the freezer. Remove the lamp trim. Check if the bulb is screwed in properly. If not working, replace with an E14-15W bulb. Reattach the lamp trim. Plug the freezer back in. Note: The bulb is not for room illumination; it withstands temperatures below -20°C.

What should I do if the door is hard to close or ice builds up?

Excessive ice on the frame or baskets can prevent proper door closure. Remove ice regularly with the provided plastic scraper. Also check that the appliance is level and the door gasket is clean. Ensure food packages are not obstructing the door.

Advice for recycling your old appliance

If your newly purchased appliance replaces an older one, you must consider a few aspects.

Old appliances are not valueless scrap. Their disposal, while preserving the environment, allows the recovery of important raw materials.

Make your old appliance useless:

• disconnect the appliance from the power supply;
• remove the power cord (cut it);
• remove any locks on the door to prevent children from being trapped inside while playing and endangering their lives. Refrigerating appliances contain insulating materials and refrigerants that require proper recycling.

Original spare parts will be provided for 10 years following the product purchase date.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment

The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat (item 4), with the "MAX" position being the lowest temperature.

The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, extent of filling with food of the freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 32°C, the thermostat will be adjusted to an average position.

The signalling system is placed on the front side of the freezer (item 5).

It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside temperature is adjusted.
2. Green LED – shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.
3. Red LED – damage – lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED goes on during the operation, this means that defects have occurred.
4. Orange LED – fast freeze function activated – by setting the knob to Superfreeze position the orange LED goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the "fast freeze" mode. The exit of this mode is done automatically after 50 hours then the appliance runs in economic mode, and the orange LED goes off.

The three LEDs give information about the mode of operation of the freezer.

Advice for food conservation

The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food. One of the main elements for a successful food freezing is the packing.

The main conditions that the packing must fulfil are the following: to be airtight, to be inert towards the packed food, to resist low temperatures, to be proof against liquids, grease, water vapours, and smells, and to be washable. These conditions are fulfilled by the following types of packings: plastic or aluminium film, plastic and aluminium vessels, waxed cardboard glasses, or plastic glasses.

IMPORTANT!

• For freezing fresh food, please use the supplied baskets of the appliance.
• Do not place too large a quantity of food in the freezer at a time. The quality of the food is best preserved if it is deeply frozen as quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable not to exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance specified in the "Product Fiche".
• Fresh food must not come into contact with food that is already frozen.
• Frozen food that you have bought can be placed into the freezer without having to adjust the thermostat.
• If the freezing date is not mentioned on the packing, please take into consideration a period of max. 3 months as a general guide.
• Food, even if partially defrosted, cannot be frozen again; it must be consumed immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
• Fizzy drinks will not be kept in the freezer.
• In case of a power failure, do not open the door of the appliance. The frozen food will not be affected if the failure lasts less than 36 hours.

Freezing with Superfrost

• Place the knob to the super frost position. The Superfrost lamp comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order to achieve fast freezing, food should be in contact with the interior walls when it is placed in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically switches the fast freezing procedure off after 50 hours.

Important

When you place the knob to Superfrost position, the compressor might not switch on for a few minutes. This is due to the integrated rise-delay switch which is designed to increase the life span of the refrigeration unit.

You should not switch on the Superfrost function:

• when placing frozen food in the freezer;
• when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.

Defrosting of the appliance

• We advise you to defrost the freezer at least twice a year or when the ice layer has an excessive thickness.
• The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
• The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-up depends on the ambient conditions and on the frequency of the door opening.
• We advise you to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
• Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat knob to a higher position so that the food stores more cold.

- Unplug the appliance.

- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or a cool place.

Take the separator panel and put it under the freezer in the direction of the dripping tube.

Take out the obstructing plug. The water which results will be collected in the special tray (separator panel). After the melting of the ice and the run-off of the water please wipe with a cloth or with a sponge, then dry well.

Put the obstruction plug back in its place. (Item 6)

For a fast thaw, please leave the door open. Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice.

Do not use hairdryers or other electric heating appliances for defrosting.

Inside cleaning

Before starting the cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains.

• It is advisable to clean the appliance when you defrost it.
• Wash the inside with lukewarm water to which you add some neutral detergent. Do not use soap, detergent, gasoline, or acetone, which can leave a strong odor.
• Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft cloth.

During this operation, avoid excess water to prevent its entrance into the thermal insulation of the appliance, which would cause unpleasant odors.

Do not forget to clean also the door gasket, especially the bellows ribs, with a clean cloth.

Outside cleaning

• Clean the outside of the freezer with a sponge soaked in soapy warm water, wipe with a soft cloth, and dry.
• The cleaning of the outside part of the refrigerating circuit (motor-compressor, condenser, connection tubes) will be done with a soft brush or with the vacuum cleaner. During this operation, take care not to distort the tubes or detach the cables.

Do not use scouring or abrasive materials!

After having finished the cleaning, replace the accessories in their places and plug in the appliance.

Replacing the interior light bulb

If the lamp burns out, disconnect the appliance from the mains. Take out the lamp trim. Make sure the lamp is screwed correctly. Plug in the appliance again. If the lamp still does not go on, replace it with another one model E14-15W. Mount back the lamp trim in its place.

The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.

The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C.

Noises during operation

In order to keep the temperature at the value you have adjusted, the compressor of the appliance starts periodically.

The noises which can be heard in such situation are normal.

They are reduced as soon as the appliance reaches the operation temperature.

The humming noise is made by the compressor. It can become a little stronger when the compressor starts.

The bubbling and gurgling noises coming from the refrigerant circulating in the pipes of the appliance are normal operating noises.

Warning!

Never try to repair yourself the appliance or its electric components. Any repair made by an unauthorized person is dangerous for the user and can result in the warranty cancellation.
