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 o You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat dial is located by opening the door of the freezer and looking behind the freezer drawers. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge. The temperature is affected by the number that the thermostat dial is set to. o The black dot position means that the appliance will not cool.
The **** freezer The freezer is suitable for storing and freezing food. o The freezer 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 fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food (in kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is 4 kg. o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it.
Storing commercially frozen food o The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. o Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen food. o When shopping, be careful to choose food which is adequately packed and is provided with complete storage instructions. It should have been stored in a freezer where the temperature does not rise above -18°C. o Do not buy packages of food that are covered with frost.
Normal operating noises Ice cracking noise o Can be caused by expansion and contraction within the freezer. Short cracking noise o Can be heard when the thermostat turns the compressor on and off. 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 freezer.
Defrosting the freezer The frost in the freezer should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that builds. IMPORTANT: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the compartment.
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. Prolonged OFF periods If the freezer is not in use for a long period of time, you should: o Disconnect the freezer from the mains supply. o Clean and dry the inside as instructed on page 13.
Brown Blue Green and yellow Live Neutral Earth o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed as follows: 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.
o Place the appliance flatly and firmly on a solid base. The appliance is fitted with adjustable feet on the front side, which can be used to level the appliance. o To ensure proper ventilation for your freezer, there should be a gap of at least 2 cm on each side between walls, 2 cm between the back of the freezer and the wall and 3 cm between the top and the roof or ceiling.
2. Unscrew the two screws on the top cover to remove it. 3. Unscrew the three screws on the top hinge. 4. Move the top hinge to the opposite side to its original position. Move the top hinge pin, shaft sheath and block piece to the opposite side to their original positions also. 5. Carefully remove the appliance door, placing it gently on a cushioned surface, so that it doesn’t get damaged. 6. Carefully tilt the appliance to a 60° angle.
7. Move the adjustable foot to the opposite side from its original positions. 8. Reattach the door on the bottom hinge, making sure that it is correctly aligned, before re-fixing the top hinge and reinstalling the top cover. IMPORTANT: Check that the door opens and shuts correctly, without fouling, after you have completed the door reversal process. After the door has been reversed, you should check the door seal of the appliance.

My freezer does not appear to be working/there is no power to my appliance. o Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket. o Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown).
