Description of the appliance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Description of the product features 1) Shelves o The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out. o To remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves. 2) Defrost water outlet o The interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that is on the rear wall.
Using your Baumatic combi fridge freezer Before switching on o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s installation instructions. o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance, depending on what number you have turned the thermostat control knob to. o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However the light will still function. o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the fridge freezer.
Arranging and storing food in the fridge section o Warm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the appliance. o All foods should be wrapped or covered, this is particularly important if the food has a strong flavour. You should use polythene bags or sheets, aluminium foil, wax paper. Liquids should be stored in covered containers or bottles.
o Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the bottle shelf that sits in the door. o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight containers. The freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food. o The freezer compartment temperature must have already reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help to make sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not transfer from other foods. o The food should be placed on the freezer compartment’s base. Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen. o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the thermostat can be returned to its normal temperature setting.
Saving energy when using your fridge-freezer There are some simple things you can do to save energy when installing or using your fridge-freezer: Installing: o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase substantially. o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption by 15%.
o The freezer compartment should operate at around -18 degrees Celsius. The refrigerator compartment should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but do not let it sit at room temperature for too long). o In the freezer compartment, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely frozen.
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting the refrigerator compartment o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
o The day before you defrost, the thermostat should be turned to its maximum temperature setting. This will make sure that the food contained in the compartment is frozen properly. o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used within a relatively short period of time.
o Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of the freezer compartment should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in immediate ice build when the appliance is turned back on. o With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the thermostat knob back to its maximum position for a 24 hour period, before switching it to its normal position of <3> or <4>.
o Re-fit the cover and plug in the appliance. Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage, read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the refrigerator.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured black. The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal marked “E” (earth), or by the earth symbol, or coloured green and yellow. o When the connection is completed, no stray strands or cut wire should be present. The cord clamp must be secured over the outer sheath.
Reversing the doors of your appliance The doors of your fridge freezer can be set to open from the left or the right. If you want the doors to be hinged on the left hand side and opening from the right hand side, you will need to follow the door reversal process. IMPORTANT: If required, the doors should be reversed PRIOR to installing the appliance into the housing unit. Caution! After unscrewing any of the fixing hinges, hold the door to prevent it from falling and causing damage.
o Remove the pin of the bottom right-hand hinge and remount it on the bottom left-hand hinge. o Invert the plate cover of the cabinet mounted on the plate. o Reassemble the hinges and doors working from the bottom to the top 1 Æ 2 Æ 3.
