Using your Baumatic BR22/8 FRIDGE-FREEZER Your BR22/8 Built-in Combi Fridge / Freezer: A 1 SHELF: The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots in 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) but not touching the back wall.
NOTE: BEFORE Using your BR22/8 FRIDGE-FREEZER: UPON DELIVERY: When your Fridge-Freezer has been delivered, you will need to wait approximately 3 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.
NOTES ON USING your Baumatic BR22/8 FRIDGE-FREEZER YOU SWITCH ON YOUR APPLIANCE by PLUGGING IT IN & SETTING THE THERMOSTAT inside the Fridge at the upper righthand side: Your Fridge-Freezer’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.
NOTES ON USING your Baumatic BR22/8 FRIDGE-FREEZER 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 behind it. YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE BACK WALL OF THE UNIT CABINET INTO WHICH THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE INSTALLED. o You switch your fridge OFF by turning the thermostat knob to position ‘0’.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER MAKING ICE CUBES Pour water into the Ice cube tray. Fill to ¾ full in each cell of the tray then place the tray in the topmost shelf of the freezer compartment. Do not use a knife or other metal tools to take ice out of the tray once ice has been made. Ice can easily be removed by hand after the tray has been placed in warm water for a short time. • To reduce humidity inside your fridge-freezer, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER • ARRANGE meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will then use within 1-2 days. • You can put fruits and vegetables into the crisper without leaving them in their packaging. • Unpleasant odours within may mean your fridge needs cleaning or that food has spoiled.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER for long periods while you search for food. • Do NOT store excess quantities or weights of food. Always try to leave gaps between your packages for better • storage results. • Do not place food too closely to the interior walls – items put too close to the walls may freeze to them! • If you place vegetables with their stalks or roots facing towards the cold source, you will be able to store them for longer. • The leaves on carrots, turnips, etc.
NOTES ON USING YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER • Ripe squashes, melon, pawpaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Colder temperatures accelerate the ripening process. 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.
STORAGE GUIDE FOR YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER The charts below are approximate guidelines only. STORING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR Remember to store food properly, observing advice on the packaging.
STORING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER Fresh foods – Foods to be stored in the freezer should be in good edible condition and suitable for freezing BEFORE they are put into the freezer. NOTE: When buying commercially available frozen food, make sure that the packaging is neither sodden nor covered with frost (snow) before you place it in the freezer at home. ¾ Use correct packaging and wrap items correctly.
APPROXIMATE STORAGE TIME FOR FROZEN FOODS (Always read the information printed on the packaging of the foods you are about to store in your freezer). NOTE: For fast, intensive freezing, press the Fast Freeze switch. After 24 hours, turn this off as long-term use is not recommended.
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 CLEANING//MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER – NOTE: You will be alerted to the presence of excessive amounts of dust on the condenser by a sound alarm. NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO MOVE THE APPLIANCE FROM ITS POSITION IN THE UNIT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE CONDENSER. DO SO WITH CAUTION! Upon hearing this alarm, you should: • Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings. Your fridge-freezer needs good ventilation at the plinth level at the bottom.
DEFROSTING 1. REFRIGERATOR There is no need to defrost the refrigerator – ice forming on the inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall while the compressor operates. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, ice defrosts and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates. 2.
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and clean them with water & liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in the washing machine. d) Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you have added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. e) Every now and then clean the condenser on the rear wall. Use a soft duster or vacuum cleaner to do this. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS 9 Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot.
