Description of the product features Shelf o The shelf 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. Then lift the front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves. Crisper drawer and cover o The crisper drawer is in the bottom of your refrigerator and there is a cover that goes over it.
Using your Baumatic fridge 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 a minimum of 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.
Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat o You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat dial is located on the upper right hand side of the inside of the cabinet, next to the interior light. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge. The temperature is affected by the number that the thermostat dial is set to. o The OFF position means that the appliance will not cool.
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 kept in airtight containers. The **** star freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for storing food that is already frozen. o When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the packaging.
defrost the compartment more frequently and increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Normal operating noises Ice cracking noise o Can be heard during the automatic defrosting process. o Can be caused by expansion and contraction within the freezer compartment. Short cracking noise o Can be heard when the thermostat turns the compressor on and off. Compressor noise o There will be an operating noise when the compressor is running.
Saving energy when using your fridge 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%.
Cleaning and maintenance WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT. o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it. o The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
The defrost drain hole o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the drain hole cleaner. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. o IMPORTANT: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be left in position permanently.
Defrosting the **** freezer compartment After a period of time frost will build up in the freezer compartment. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. Complete defrosting will however become necessary approximately twice per year, or if the frost layer exceeds 5 cm (2”). This will maintain the efficiency of the refrigerator. It should also be carried out if the frost build up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the storage of ice.
Replacing the light bulb WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o There is an interior light next to the thermostat dial. o Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screw at the far end of the light cover and slide the cover off. o Change the present light bulb with a new one. The replacement bulb should not have a greater rating than 15 W.
Electrical connection YOUR FRIDGE IS INTENDED PERMANENT INSTALLATION. FOR FITTED AND We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations. o Your refrigerator comes supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. If in future you need to change the fuse in this plug, then a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
o Positioning the appliance requires two people in order to avoid injuries or damage to the appliance. o Your appliance should not be located in direct sunlight or exposed to continuous heat or extremes of temperature (e.g. next to a radiator or boiler). If this is not feasible, then you should install an insulation plate between the appliance and the adjacent heat source. o You should check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after your appliance is installed.
Reversing the door IMPORTANT: BEFORE COMMENCING THE DOOR REVERSAL PROCESS THE APPLIANCE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. o We suggest that two people complete the door reversal process. o We recommend that the door reversal process is done before the appliance is placed in its final position. o If food is already stored inside of it, then this must all be removed before beginning the door reversal process. o Retain all screws, caps and accessories that you remove for later use.
4) Pull the door downwards towards the bottom of the appliance, releasing the top of the door from the top hinge-pin. Place the door somewhere safe from damage. 5) Unscrew the two screws on the top hinge and remove it. Re-attach the hinge to the opposite side of the appliance. 6) Remove the hinge-pin hole cap from the top of the door and insert it into the existing hinge-pin hole in the opposite side, thus exposing the new hinge-pin hole and covering the old hole.
2. Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of the door seal that are not adhering correctly. The heat will make the seal more pliable and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the correct position. IMPORTANT: DO NOT HEAT THE DOOR SEAL ON ANYTHING BUT THE LOWEST HEAT SETTING, OR HEAT THE SEAL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. OTHERWISE DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED TO THE DOOR SEAL, WHICH WOULD NOT BE RECTIFIED UNDER THE GUARANTEE FREE OF CHARGE.
Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: If your fridge appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic Customer Care Department, please refer to the checklist below. My fridge does not appear to be working/there is no power to my appliance. o Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket. o Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown).
There is water in the base of the fridge or leaking out of my fridge. o Follow “The defrost drain hole” section. IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains supply and then contact the Customer Care Department on telephone number (0118) 933 6911. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
