Description of the appliance 8
Description of the product features 1) 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 front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves. 2) Defrost water outlet o The interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that is on the rear wall.
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.
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat is located on the upper right hand side of the inside of the cabinet, next to the interior light. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge freezer, depending on what number you have turned the thermostat control knob to. o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However the light will still function.
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.
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 6 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
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.
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 refrigerator and freezer compartment 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.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. 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 FREEZER COMPARTMENT THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW. o Set the thermostat knob to position <0> and disconnect the appliance from your mains supply. o Remove the drawers 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.
Replacing the light bulb WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o There is an interior light next to the thermostat dial. o Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover and slide the cover off. o Change the present light bulb with a new one. The replacement bulb should not have a greater rating than 15 W. o Replace the light cover and after waiting five minutes, reconnect your plug to your mains supply.
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 refrigerator.
Positioning o It is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location where the ambient temperature of the room, corresponds with the climate classification that is stated on the rating plate of your appliance. Your appliance may not function correctly if the ambient temperature falls outside of the following ranges.
