IMPORTANT: When you install your appliance it is important to bear in mind its climatic rating. In order to find out the climatic rating of your appliance, you should check the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the front left edge of the inside of the fridge. You will need to open the door of your appliance to be able to find it. The rating plate will indicate the ambient temperature range that your appliance will function correctly within.
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.

The thermostat control knob is located at the top of the appliance. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer, depending on what number you have turned the thermostat control knob to:o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool.

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. o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the air out of it, as this will help the food to freeze more easily. o Flat packages freeze more easily. o If you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the container to the brim.
Freezing with fast freeze This function should be used whilst you are freezing fresh food, it will ensure that a powerful supply of cold air enters the freezer compartment. o Press the fast freeze button (2) and the freezer will start to run continuously at its maximum setting. o The yellow fast freeze light (5) will come on when the fast freeze setting has been switched on. o There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob.
Saving energy when using your freezer Installing: o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase substantially. o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption by 15%.
Disposing: o If you're going to throw out your old freezer, see if there's a chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) recycler in your area. The government department which looks after the environment in your area may be able to help you. 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 day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position <5>, 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. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the freezer.
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.
Reversing the door of your appliance This procedure MUST be completed before the furniture door is attached. Any parts that you remove from the appliance whilst reversing the door, should be retained for later use. WARNING- Take care when opening the hinges, they are sprung loaded and there is the risk of injury if they close on your hand. Tools required:o Phillips screwdriver o Flat bladed screwdriver o Slacken the retaining screws (1) on the appliance and then carefully remove the appliance door.
o Insert the retaining screws (1) into the opposite side of the appliance from their original position. These screws should be partially tightened but not fully tightened. o Remove the door retaining screws (2) and then reverse the position of the top and bottom hinge (as shown in the diagram on page 18). o Reattach the appliance door and then fully re-tighten the retaining screws (1) and the door retaining screws (2).
The diagram below shows the aperture size that you will need to be able to install your appliance. o The appliance must be stood on a level floor. You can use the levelling feet to take into account any minor unevenness in the floor. Adjusting the plinth/kickboard When the appliance has been placed underneath the worktop, you may decide to attach a plinth or kickboard to match your existing kitchen units.
o Use a spanner to adjust the height of the adjustable feet. o If your aperture has a height of 820 mm, then the adjustable feet should be fully tightened. o If your aperture has a height of 870 mm, then the adjustable feet should be set at a height of 50 mm. o The appliance should be flush with the underside of the worktop and be level.

The gap should be set to approximately 9 mm (as shown in the above drawing). d) Fix the lower bracket to the bottom of the furniture door and the underneath of the appliance door (as shown in the drawing on the previous page). o It is possible to make minor adjustments to the position of the furniture door using the screws on the top and the bottom of the appliance door.
o Use a suitably sized drill bit to drill through the holes in the bracket, into the work top. IMPORTANT: The drill bit should be appropriate for the material that your work top is made from. o Secure the bracket to the underside of the worktop, using the screws provided. IMPORTANT: These screws should be fully tightened. o If the appliance is being installed under a granite worktop, use the L shaped brackets provided to secure the fridge to the side of the cabinet.
