Description of the product features 1) Adjustable fridge shelves o The shelves 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 that you want to remove. Then lift the rear of the shelf slightly and carefully pull it forward, out of the grooves.
Using your Baumatic fridge 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 o You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge depending on what you have the control panel set to. o The marks on the control dial indicate temperature grades, NOT the degrees of temperature. 0 is OFF and 5 represents the lowest temperature setting.
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 or 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 **** freezer section The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food. o The freezer section 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 Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen. o Chill fresh food in the fridge before freezing if possible. Tips on freezing o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen goods in. o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings. o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the air out of it, as this will help the food to freeze more easily.
o Do not buy packages of food that are covered with frost. This could indicate that the package has thawed at least once before. o Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw before you place them in your freezer. This will shorten the length of time that you can safely store the food for. Defrosting frozen food o Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible.
Compressor noise o There will be an operating noise when the compressor is running. o After installation, the compressor may be noisier for a short period of time. Bubbling and burbling sound o This noise is emitted as the coolant flows through the pipework within the fridge freezer. Water flowing sound o This is caused by water flowing into the evaporating tray during the defrosting process and can be heard whilst the fridge freezer is defrosting.
o The freezer compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees Celsius. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 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 compartment, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely frozen.
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. 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. Replacing the light bulb WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o Remove all adjustable shelves for your safety before changing the light bulb.
o Refit the light bulb cover and reconnect your appliance to the mains supply and turn on. 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 a 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 DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE COMPARTMENT THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW. FREEZER o Turn the appliance off by turning off the power supply to the fridge freezer. o Remove the drawers and shelves from the freezer section and leave the door to the freezer compartment open. You can place a bowl of warm water inside the freezer compartment to speed up the defrost process. o You can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into the bottom of the freezer section.
Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the fridge section.
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. Reversing the door swing o You can choose whether you want the doors of your appliance to open from the left or the right according to your kitchen design or personal preference. o It is important that this procedure is carried out before the fridge-freezer is positioned in the desired location. The appliance should not be connected to the mains supply.
9) Replace the fridge door and the middle hinge. 10) Replace the freezer door and the lower hinge. 11) Check that the doors are properly aligned and both door seals make contact with the appliance at all points before tightening up all the screws and bolts. 12) Return the fridge freezer to its upright position. If necessary, the hinge positions can be adjusted to ensure the doors are level and efficiently sealed.
o If the front of the appliance is positioned slightly higher than the rear, the door can be opened and closed more easily. o If your refrigerator tilts down to the left, turn the left adjusting leg until the appliance is level. o If your refrigerator tilts down to the right, turn the right adjusting leg until the appliance is level. o Be sure to leave enough space for the opening of the door, to avoid damage to the appliance or personal injury.
o Ensure that the doors are closing properly and that the doors have not been opened for a prolonged period in error. o Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your appliance. My fridge freezer is noisy. o The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running.
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.
