Using your Baumatic 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.
Switching 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 control knob is located at the top of the appliance. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer, 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.
Control panel o Fast freeze light (Orange) - will light up when the fast freeze switch has been activated. o Temperature rise warning light (Red) - will light up when the appliance detects a rise in temperature that could affect the contents of your freezer. o Power light (Green) - will light up as soon as the appliance is connected to your mains supply. The freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
Freezing fresh food o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified above, you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, 24 hours prior to attempting freezing. o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing. o Alternatively you can use the fast freeze option (see the “Freezing with fast freeze” section of this booklet). o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging.
o Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids (especially sparkling liquids) into the freezer as they could cause the bottle to burst during freezing. Making ice cubes o Fill an ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment. o After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to dispense the ice.
o The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will get to its lowest temperature. o Place the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer. o Once the food is frozen, you should switch off the fast freeze setting. DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE FAST FREEZE SETTING UNTIL THE FOOD IS FULLY FROZEN. o The orange fast freeze light will go out and your appliance will return to normal operation. o IMPORTANT: DO NOT LEAVE THE APPLIANCE RUNNING IN FAST FREEZE MODE FOR LONGER THAN 24 HOURS AT A TIME.
o The freezer should operate at -15 to -18 degrees Celsius. o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long). o In the freezer, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely frozen. o If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
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 freezer compartment The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that builds. o IMPORTANT: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice a year.
o With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the thermostat knob to position <4> for a 24 hour period, before returning it to the normal setting of between <2> and <3>. o You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer until this 24 hour time period has elapsed. o Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the refrigerant system.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red. 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.

Tools required:o Phillips screwdriver o Flat bladed screwdriver o Slacken the retaining screws (1) on the appliance and then carefully remove the appliance door. o Place the appliance door on a cushioned surface, so that damage does not occur to it. o Lever off the cover caps (3).
o Insert the retaining screws (1) into the opposite side of the appliance from their original position.

Aperture dimensions a) The diagram opposite shows the aperture size that you will need to be able to install your appliance. o The appliance must be stood on a level floor. You can use the levelling feet to take into account any minor unevenness in the floor. Adjusting the plinth/kickboard When the appliance has been placed underneath the worktop, you may decide to attach a plinth or kickboard to match your existing kitchen units.
o Use a spanner to adjust the height of the adjustable feet. o If your aperture has a height of 820 mm, then the adjustable feet should be set at a height of 30 mm. o If your aperture has a height of 870 mm, then the adjustable feet should be set at a height of 50 mm. o The appliance should be flush with the underside of the worktop and be level. IMPORTANT: If the appliance is not level, then the door and door seal may be affected.
a) Undo the screws from the two adjusting bolts that are located on the top of the appliance door and then remove the mounting bracket (1). b) Measure the width of the furniture door, at the halfway point mark a line vertically down the inner surface of the furniture door. You should draw the line from the top of the furniture door to approximately halfway down. o Place the mounting bracket (1) on the reverse of the furniture door.
c) Hang the furniture door onto the appliance door, making sure that the brackets on the mounting bracket locate over the adjusting bolts. c) Use a screwdriver to adjust the gap on the lower section of the adjusting bolts. The gap should be set to approximately 9 mm (as shown in the above drawing).
d) Fix the lower bracket to the bottom of the furniture door and the underneath of the appliance door (as shown in the drawing on the previous page). o It is possible to make minor adjustments to the position of the furniture door using the screws on the top and the bottom of the appliance door. You should make these adjustments so that the furniture door is level. e) Insert the cover plate to the top of the appliance; this will just clip into place. f) Open the appliance door.
