Important Safety Information: Please Read this before installing & using. ELECTRICAL SAFETY • • • NOTE - This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance of electrical current. You will be able to tell if it is because a non-grounded appliance will give off an electrical discharge. Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to nongrounding of appliance.
Using your Baumatic BR11.2A Built-under Fridge: Your BR11.2A Built-under Fridge with Icebox: KEY A 1 SHELF: The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out. To remove a shelf, simply lift the front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves. Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back (the coldest part of your refrigerator).
NOTE: BEFORE Using your BR11.2A FRIDGE: UPON DELIVERY: When your Fridge has been delivered, you will need to wait approximately 12 hours before turning it on. The fluid of the compressor installed in the appliance will need time to settle. PLEASE DO NOT PLUG IN ANY EARLIER THAN THIS! NOTE: THERE CAN BE AN ODOUR WHEN YOU FIRST SWITCH ON THE APPLIANCE. IT WILL VANISH WHEN THE UNIT STARTS COOLING.
USING your Baumatic BR11.2A FRIDGE YOU SWITCH ON YOUR APPLIANCE by PLUGGING IT IN & SETTING THE THERMOSTAT inside the Fridge at the upper righthand side: Your Fridge’s thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the thermostat knob from a low to a higher number position, colder temperatures can be obtained. Refrigerator Thermostat setting Note: Turning the knob setting towards 7 will make all the compartments of your fridge colder.
USING your Baumatic BR11.2A FRIDGE Reminder: Allow the unit time to settle after delivery. If your plug and power socket are now behind the fridge and you still need to move the unit into place, be especially careful. Remember to leave a safe distance between the back of the fridge and the wall or rear of the unit cabinet. o You switch your fridge OFF by turning the thermostat knob to position ‘0’.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE • To reduce humidity and the consequent increase of frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator. In time, the unit will need more frequent defrosting if too much humidity develops inside it. • DO NOT open the refrigerator door too often or leave it open for long spells of time. • Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can close completely.
NOTES ON USING YOUR FRIDGE ALWAYS Cover and wrap foods, especially if they are PUNGENT. • DO NOT place paper or plastic on the shelves which would block the flow of air through the grids. NOTE: At the maximum cold setting, with a high outside (ambient) temperature and well-stocked (full or nearly full) compartments, the Fridge’s operation may be continuous, leading to the formation of some frost on the evaporator.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE NOTE: Before attempting to clean your appliance, UNPLUG IT and make sure you do the following: WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR REFRIGERATOR ONCE A MONTH. 9 Pay particular attention to the sealing rubber bars of the doors. These need to be kept clean for hygienic reasons as well as to allow the door to close properly. 9 Leave the door open during cleaning.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE Your appliance is equipped with a sound alarm which will sound to indicate that it is time to clear this dust from the condenser structure at the back of your appliance. • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. • If the air opening in the bottom rail of the fridge is obstructed, remove the items responsible. • It dirty or dusty, you should clean or vacuum it (see the figure below). To remove Dust from the Condenser 1. 2. 3. Remove the bottom board of the unit cabinet.
DEFROSTING Defrosting occurs fully automatically in the refrigerator compartment during normal operation. The defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray evaporates automatically. However, you will have to manually defrost the freezing compartment (icebox) when the frost and ice layer coating its interior is 3-5mm. You do this by: 1) Turning the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnecting the power supply.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS 9 Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, be sure to close it as soon as possible. 9 Use higher thermostat settings only if essential and not for constant, long-term use. 9 Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, ensure they are cooled to an ambient temperature (except in the case of soup).
