Frequently Asked Questions - BF413W Tricity Bendix

How do I set the temperature on my Tricity Bendix BF413W freezer?

The temperature is adjusted using the dial inside the freezer compartment. Turn it to a higher number for colder temperatures. The recommended setting is typically 3-4 for normal operation.

What should I do if the freezer is not cold enough?

Check that the temperature dial is set correctly, the door is sealing properly, and the condenser coils at the back are clean. Also ensure the freezer is not overfilled, blocking air circulation.

How often should I defrost the BF413W freezer?

This model features a manual defrost system (frost free). You should defrost when ice build-up exceeds 5 mm, typically every 6-12 months, or when you notice reduced cooling efficiency.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. You will need a screwdriver and follow the instructions in the manual. Note that it may require two people to safely handle the door.

What is the correct way to clean my freezer?

Unplug the freezer, remove all food, and defrost if necessary. Use a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. Wipe dry before reconnecting.

Why is my freezer making unusual noises?

Normal operating sounds include refrigerant flow, compressor hum, and occasional clicks. Loud or persistent noises may indicate the freezer is not level, or parts are loose. Check the manual for troubleshooting.

How long should I wait after plugging in the freezer before adding food?

Allow the freezer to run for at least 2-4 hours to reach the optimal temperature before placing food inside. This ensures proper freezing from the start.

Is it normal for the outside of the freezer to feel warm?

Yes, it is normal for the sides or back to feel warm during operation as the heat from inside is dissipated. This is not a fault.

What should I do during a power outage?

Keep the door closed. A full freezer can stay cold for about 24 hours if unopened. Do not refreeze thawed food unless it still has ice crystals.

Where can I find spare parts or service for my BF413W?

Contact Tricity Bendix customer service or an authorized service centre. Many common parts like shelves and door seals are available from the manufacturer for up to 10 years after production.

Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (D-Fig. 11) will light up to show that the appliance is on.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet (A-Fig. 11).

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «O» position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting, between 2 and 4. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

The internal temperature of the freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food storage. However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as poor ventilation, high temperature and frequent door openings, it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control to the higher numbers; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.

Warning light (red)

If the temperature warning light (E) lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where the safe food storage is no longer ensured.

When the freezer is first switched on, the warning light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, slide the fast-freeze switch (B-Fig. 11) to the left (fast freeze position) 2-3 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (C) lights up).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch should be activated about 24 hours before freezing fresh food. This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the top compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the «OFF» position; the yellow light (C) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used for a further freezing operation.

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.

Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we strongly recommend that you ensure any commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.

It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer of the food.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions on "frost/freezer burns".

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time (see page 13).

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Ice making

Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer compartment. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length.

Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice tray.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever.

The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.

• Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your freezer as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
• Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible. Remember that warm air is flowing in as you are deciding what to have for tea!
  ■ Do not push food together too much, try to allow air circulate around each item.
• Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as possible in order that it can then be placed in the freezer as soon as possible).
  ■ Do not store food uncovered.

■ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly.
- Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
- It is important that food is used before its "best before" date.
■ Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
- Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between.
■ Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning up food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it frequently.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

Turn the thermostat control (A-Fig. 11) to the «O» setting.

Leave the door open.

To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot water inside the freezer (with a piece of cardboard underneath as a protection). The defrost water should be collected in a basin placed under the gutter in the central part between base and door. A small flexible hose (supplied with the freezer and fixed inside the plastic scraper handle), to be used as a gutter extension, will make it easier to collect the defrost water.

Fig. 12

When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting between 2 and 4 and, after letting the appliance run for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode. Replace the previously removed food into the compartment and return the «fast freeze» switch to the off position.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.

Warning

"In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re--freeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you."

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?

Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service Force Centre, check the following points:

The appliance does not work...

Check that:

■ There is power at the socket.
■ Ensure that there is not a power cut by checking the household lights.
■ The fuse has not blown.
■ The air circulation passages are not covered.

Vibration or abnormal noises...

- You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils of tubing, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves. When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint "click" when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Other points to check...

Check that:

■ Have you turned the thermostat to the correct setting?
■ Has the door been left open causing the temperature to rise?
- Sometimes the freezer door will be difficult to open shortly after you have closed it. Don't worry this is due to pressure difference which will quickly equalise and allow the door to open normally.

If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre, whose address can be found in the accompanying Complete Care leaflet, and can also be found in your local telephone directory under «T».

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.

Please note that proof of purchase is required for any in-guarantee service calls.

Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre, make a note of the model and serial number. This information can be found on the rating plate situated inside the cabinet behind the bottom freezer drawer.
