Electrical safety ENSURE YOU CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A SUPPLY RATED AT 220-240V (or 200-230V) and 50HZ. NOTE: the supporting structure is constructed in panels of treated sheet steel, electrostatically enamelled to resist ill-treatment and to give longlasting beauty and shine. Do not attempt to alter the specifications of this appliance. Doing so could damage the machine, cause injury & invalidate your warranty. DO NOT USE ADAPTERS/SHUNTS.
PLEASE OBSERVE ALL INSTALLATION ADVICE IN THIS MANUAL FOR SAFE USAGE OF YOUR APPLIANCE. Note: Before discarding an old refrigerator/freezer, switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Ensure that the door cannot jam (removing it is best), regardless of whether or not it can be pushed open from inside.
Using your Baumatic BV14A FREEZER Your BV14A Built-under Freezer FREEZING COMPARTMENT (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. STORING BASKET (2) is used for storing packages of frozen foods.
Note: Before Using your BV14A Freezer Upon delivery When your Freezer has been delivered, you will need to wait approximately 2 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. We recommend that you have the Fridge delivered near to where you plan to install it so that this fluid can settle.
THE CONTROL PANEL The freezer is controlled with switches and the thermostat button. It is shown below: 1 ON/OFF switch (green signal lamp) 2 Continuous operation button (yellow signal lamp) 3 Alarm off button (red signal lamp) KEY: 1) ON /OFF SWITCH When the appliance is switched on, the green light comes on. When it is off, the light goes off. 2) CONTINUOUS OPERATION BUTTON This switch is used to select one of the two automatic operation modes: continuous and automatic.
Temperature Selection You control the freezer’s interior temperature automatically by setting the thermostat. This can be found on the control panel at the bottom of the freezer. • The most suitable position is in the middle between max. (7) & min. (1). • We recommend setting the thermostat on a position approaching maximum (7) only to accelerate cooling (e.g., before loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the operation mode has risen to the ambient temperature). • Thermostat settings towards min.
• If you want to freeze small quantities of fresh food (1-2kg), you DON’T have to switch the appliance to the continuous operation mode. • The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. For storing and use, consider the manufacturer’s instructions. • When shopping, be careful to choose only packages of foods which are adequately packed and provided with complete data.
Arranging Food in your Freezer The chart below shows the range within which you will be able to store food in your freezer. Food Storage time (in month) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Vegetable 8 9 10 + + + Fruit Bread, pastries + Milk + Ready-made meals + Meat: Beef Veal Pork + + + Minced meat Offal + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Fish: lean fat + + + + • To reduce humidity and possible frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the freezer.
• Always be mindful of the storage life of foods you are going to be freezing for a long time. Although the temperature of the freezer can dip to a very low level, this does not mean that food can be stored indefinitely. Pay particular attention to the information printed on the packaging of the foods you are going to be placing in your freezer. • Always store food with a view to how often it will be used.
A NOTE ON DEFROSTING • Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be consumed as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy micro-organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting to make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals. • Generally, you should NOT refreeze defrosted items.
Never Use Solvents To Clean Your Freezer MAINTENANCE FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL BULB. REMEMBER TO UNPLUG YOU APPLIANCE FIRST Find the lamp housing in the top right of the refrigerator’s interior. Gently move the transparent lamp cover plate from the lamp cradle. Unscrew the bulb and replace with a new one, maximum 10W. HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER – the condenser consists of a coil structure at the back of your freezer.
PERIODIC CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER 1. Firstly, disconnect it from the mains. 2. Empty the contents of your freezer. You should take the necessary precautions to maintain any food items you wish to keep. Remember that it is a health hazard to allow frozen articles of food to thaw and then refreeze them. Wrap them in newspaper or some other insulation-giving wrapper and/or store them in another freezer. 3. Remove the appliance from the unit in which it is held. 4.
Use higher thermostat settings only if essential and not for constant, long-term use. Do not leave the appliance on Fast freeze indefinitely or for periods in excess of that recommended in this manual. Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, ensure they are first cooled to the ambient temperature. If the door seal (gasket) is damaged, the energy consumption will be much higher. To keep the sealing in good condition, be sure not to spill oils or fats on it.
Installing your BV14A Freezer NOTE - YOU NEED THE SPACES SHOWN AT LEFT TO INSTALL YOUR APPLIANCE. Ensure there is sufficient space behind the cooling coils at the back of your Fridge 162579 1) Ensure that you are going to be placing your fridge away from heat sources and in a well-ventilated position. This should be at least 3 cm away from electric stoves and 30 cm from oil or coal stoves. Do not place the appliance in the path of direct sunlight.

Drill two holes and attach your fridge to the underside of your worktop as shown in figure at left. Adjust the feet to level your Appliance Adjust the feet (see picture below) until your Fridge sits levelly on your floor. You can level your unit using these adjustable feet to compensate for dips and rises in your floor surface. NOTE: You can adjust the height from 82 to 90 cm. The height MUST be adjusted before the appliance is built into the unit space designated for it.
Reversing the swing of the Door NOTE: All numbered references apply to both pictures for your convenience. 1) On the hinge-less side of the fridge’s door, remove the caps (1) that cover the hinge bracket holes.
