How to reactivate the ice making on the BEKO GN162330X refrigerator?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/16/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To reactivate the ice making:

Press the ice on/off button on the control panel to switch from "Off" to "On". The indicator light should turn on.

The first batch takes about 12 hours. The system needs to purge air at startup. Once activated, ice cubes will start to appear after this delay.

Important: The first 30 ice cubes produced (about 3-4 liters) should be discarded before use.

To use the dispenser: Select the type of ice on the display (regular or crushed ice), push the dispenser lever, and collect your ice cubes.

If nothing appears after 12 hours, check that the water supply is open and that the water filter is not clogged.

5.2. Humidity controlled crisper (FreSHelf)

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humidity-controlled crispers and the food is ensured to stay fresh for longer.

We recommend placing leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach, as well as other vegetables sensitive to moisture loss, as horizontally as possible inside the crisper, rather than standing upright on their roots.

When placing vegetables, consider their specific gravity. Heavy and hard vegetables should be placed at the bottom of the crisper, while light and soft vegetables should be placed on top.

Never leave vegetables in the crisper inside their bags. If left in bags, they will decompose quickly. If you prefer to avoid contact with other vegetables for hygiene reasons, use perforated paper or similar packaging materials instead of a bag.

Do not store pears, apricots, peaches, and especially apples, which produce high levels of ethylene gas, together with other vegetables and fruits in the same crisper. The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits can cause other fruits to ripen faster and spoil sooner.

Using the product

5.17. Freezing fresh food

  • To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible; use the rapid freezing function for this.
  • Freezing food items while they are fresh will extend their storage time in the freezer compartment.
  • Pack the food items in airtight packs and seal them tightly.
  • Make sure the food items are packed before putting them in the freezer. Use freezer containers, aluminum foil, damp-proof paper, plastic bags, or similar packaging materials instead of traditional wrapping paper.
  • Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.
  • Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be refrozen.
  • Do not freeze large quantities of food at once.

5.18. Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18°C.

  1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
  2. Before freezing, check the "Expiry Date" on the package to make sure it is not expired.
  3. Make sure the food's packaging is not damaged.

5.19. Deep freezer details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 liters of freezer compartment volume. Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below a temperature of -18°C. You can keep the foods fresh for months (in a deep freezer at or below temperatures of -18°C).

The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.

Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. Freezing these food items will simply reduce the nutritional value and food quality, as well as possible spoiling which is harmful to health.
