Using your Baumatic fridge with freezer compartment 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, are allowed 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. The thermostat 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 refrigerator, 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.
Arranging and storing food in your refrigerator 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.
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 The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 2 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
Freezing fresh food o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified above, you should turn the thermostat up to the highest setting 24 hours prior to attempting freezing. o For smaller quantities of fresh food, the thermostat should be turned up to its highest setting approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing. 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.
Freezer compartment door open indicator There is a door indicator on the lock of the freezer compartment door, which will advise you whether the door of the icebox is shut properly or not. o If the red indicator is visible, then the freezer compartment door is still open and should be closed properly. o If the red indicator is not visible, then the freezer compartment door is shut properly. IMPORTANT: Keeping the door of the freezer compartment shut properly will prevent foods from defrosting.
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 and freezer 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.
o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
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.
