Specifications of your freezer Congratulations on purchasing a Baumatic freezer.
Description of the appliance 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.
During first use o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the freezer reaches a cool enough temperature. o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance. o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or connecting it to your mains supply.
o The freezer can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and lower. o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of food and the amount of food that has been placed in the appliance and how often the door is opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained by the appliance. o On the maximum setting (position <7>), your freezer will work harder to maintain a lower temperature.
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 5 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
o Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen. o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the thermostat should be turned down to its normal setting (between <3> and <4>). 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.
Freezing with Super Freeze o Slide the Super Freeze switch to the left and the freezer will start to run continuously at its maximum setting. o The orange Super Freeze light will come on when the Super Freeze setting has been switched on. o There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob. 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.
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 freezer 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 day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position <7>, this will make sure that the food contained in the freezer is frozen properly. o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the freezer 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. o DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER ONCE IT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
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.
