Turning on your Baumatic BF373 FRIDGE-FREEZER: PLEASE FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE DISPLAY PANEL AT THE TOP OF THE UNIT (ILLUSTRATED BELOW).

ORANGE LAMP: When the freezer compartment is operating, this lamp will light until desired temperature reached.
USING your Baumatic BF373 FRIDGE-FREEZER: Your Fridge-Freezer’s thermostats automatically regulate the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating either knob from position 1 to position 5, colder temperatures can be obtained for the respective compartment. This is particularly important for food stored in the freezer. Refrigerator Thermostat setting : 1-2: Use this setting for shortterm storage of food in the fridge – mild coldness.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER Refrigerator Compartment: • To reduce humidity and the consequent increase of frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator. In time, the unit will need more frequent defrosting if too much humidity develops inside it. • NEVER place warm food inside the refrigerator. Warm food must be allowed to cool at room temperature.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER Freezer Compartment • Your freezer’s chief function is to allow you to store deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time, and to make ice cubes. • DO NOT put warm food into the freezer. • DO NOT put fresh or warmish food with frozen food side-by-side as the former can thaw the latter and cause spoilage. • While freezing fresh food (meat, fish, mincemeat, etc.), divide into bagged parts so you can access them separately.
NOTES ON USING YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER ALWAYS Cover and wrap foods, especially if they are PUNGENT. • MAKING ICE CUBES: DO NOT place paper or plastic on the shelves which would block the flow of air through the grids. • • Fill each of the ice cube container’s cells ¾ full with water. • Place the container in the ice tray compartment shelf.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE NOTE: Before attempting to clean your Fridge-Freezer, UNPLUG IT and make sure you do the following: 9 Remove the baskets and the ice-cube tray. 9 Leave the door open. 9 In order to collect the defrosted water, take out the bottom drawer and soak up the water using a sponge as shown in the figure pictured below. To accelerate the defrosting process, you can scrape off any frost that may have formed using the spatula included.
DEFROSTING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Defrosting occurs fully automatically in the refrigerator compartment during normal operation. The defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray evaporates automatically. NOTE: The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
DEFROSTING YOUR FREEZER **** Generally, you should defrost your FridgeFreezer at least twice a year, like this: NOTE: You must defrost your freezer when there is more than 5mm of frost covering the shelves. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape frost with (they could damage the fridge circuit irreparably). Use the plastic scraper provided. • Remove the food and wrap it in several layers of paper or newspaper and keep it in the refrigerator or in another cool place.
DRAINAGE Your appliance is fitted with a special drainage system. 1) Pull out the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment and open the water drain cover (A – illustrated below) which is at the back of the drawer (Figure 1). 2) Pull out the drain plug (B) placed under the freezer compartment (Figure 2). 3) Place the water drain cover (A) beneath the drain plug (B) [Figure 3]. 4) Remove & dispose of the water collected in the drawer.
