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. The control panel is located on the inside wall of the fridge compartment. 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 7 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, 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. o The diagram above should be viewed as an indication only and may not necessarily match the interior of your appliance.
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 The freezer section is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 3 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period. o Any of the drawers can be used for freezing various foods.
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 Flat packages freeze more easily. o If you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the container to the brim.
Defrosting frozen food o Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. o Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy the micro organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. o Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals. Making ice cubes o Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the upper freezer drawers.
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. Saving energy when using your fridge-freezer Installing: o Install the appliance in a cool position.
o In the freezer compartment, 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 If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored with the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
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 Hold and gently lift up the light bulb cover to allow access to the bulb. o Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it in an anti-clockwise direction. o Replace with a new bulb of the same type (15W) by screwing it in a clockwise direction.
o IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice droplets does not indicate an appliance fault. Defrosting the freezer compartment o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used within a relatively short period of time.
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.
