FAQs
What is the total capacity of this fridge freezer?
The Beko GN14790PX Fridge Freezer offers a generous 443 litres of total storage capacity, providing ample space for your weekly groceries.
Do I need to manually defrost this appliance?
No, this model features frost-free technology in both the fridge and freezer compartments, so you will never need to manually defrost it.
Can I install this fridge freezer in my garage or shed?
No, it is specifically stated that this refrigerator is not designed to be used in unheated outbuildings or any unheated area. Doing so can damage the appliance and your food.
How does the Quick Cool setting work?
The Quick Cool setting rapidly drops the temperature in the fridge compartment. It's ideal for quickly chilling newly added groceries after a shopping trip, helping to preserve their nutrients and freshness by minimizing temperature fluctuations.
Are the shelves adjustable?
Yes, the Beko GN14790PX comes with adjustable glass shelves, allowing you to customize the internal layout to accommodate taller items or specific storage needs.
What is the purpose of the door open alarm?
The door open alarm alerts you if the fridge door has been left open for too long. This helps prevent energy waste, maintains optimal internal temperatures, and protects your food from spoiling.
How should I clean the interior of the fridge freezer?
For cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Ensure you dry the interior thoroughly afterwards. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Troubleshooting
Appliance is not cooling or freezing
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the temperature settings are correctly adjusted. Confirm the door is sealing properly and hasn't been left open for extended periods. Avoid placing the unit in unheated areas as per the warning.
Excessive noise or vibrations
Verify that the appliance is level; adjust the feet if necessary. Ensure there's adequate space around the unit for ventilation and that it's not touching walls or other appliances. Check if any items inside are vibrating against the shelves or walls.
Water pooling inside the fridge or freezer
This could indicate a blocked drain hole. Locate the drain hole (usually at the back, near the bottom shelf in the fridge) and carefully clear any obstructions with a small, soft tool (e.g., a pipe cleaner). Ensure food packaging isn't blocking the air vents.
Door open alarm sounds frequently
Make sure the door is fully closed and the door seals are clean and intact. If the alarm persists despite a closed door, check for obstructions preventing complete closure or if the appliance is unlevel, causing the door to sag.
Food in the crisper drawer is not staying fresh
Ensure the crisper drawer is not overfilled, allowing air to circulate. Check if the humidity control (if present) is set appropriately for the type of produce. Avoid storing items that emit ethylene gas (like apples) with sensitive produce, as this can accelerate ripening.
