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.
5) Bottle shelf o The lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized bottles. IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE SHELVES THAT SIT IN THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE. Using your Baumatic larder fridge 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 If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or connecting it to your mains supply. Switching 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 control knob is located on the right hand side of the fridge.
o IMPORTANT: Do not run the appliance with the thermostat above number 5 in normal usage otherwise the defrost drain hole will freeze. Arranging and storing food in your refrigerator 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.
o Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the bottle shelf that sits in the door. o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight containers. 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.
The defrost drain hole o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the drain hole cleaner. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. o IMPORTANT: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be left in position permanently.
Replacing the light bulb WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o Press the rear end of the bulb cover until the sides release and then lift the bulb cover clear of the bulb. o Change the present light bulb with a new one. The replacement bulb should not have a greater rating than 10 W; (an E14 10 W bulb should be used). o Replace the light cover and after waiting five minutes, reconnect your plug to your mains supply.
Electrical connection YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT INSTALLATION. We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations. o Your refrigerator comes supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. If in future you need to change the fuse in this plug, then a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
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.
o Slacken the retaining screws (1) on the appliance and then carefully remove the appliance door. o Place the appliance door on a cushioned surface, so that damage does not occur to it. o Lever off the cover caps (3). 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 Reattach the appliance door and then fully re-tighten the retaining screws (1) and the door retaining screws (2). o Insert the cover caps (3) into the holes that are now exposed on the right hand side of the cabinet. 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.
Aperture dimensions a) The diagram opposite 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 set at a height of 30 mm. 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. IMPORTANT: If the appliance is not level, then the door and door seal may be affected.
a) Undo the screws from the two adjusting bolts that are located on the top of the appliance door and then remove the mounting bracket (1). b) Measure the width of the furniture door, at the halfway point mark a line vertically down the inner surface of the furniture door. You should draw the line from the top of the furniture door to approximately halfway down. o Place the mounting bracket (1) on the reverse of the furniture door.
c) Hang the furniture door onto the appliance door, making sure that the brackets on the mounting bracket locate over the adjusting bolts. c) Use a screwdriver to adjust the gap on the lower section of the adjusting bolts. 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. You should make these adjustments so that the furniture door is level. e) Insert the cover plate to the top of the appliance, this will just clip into place. f) Open the appliance door.
Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: If your refrigerator appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Customer Care Department, please refer to the checklist below. My fridge 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).
Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my fridge o Check that food has not been pushed too far back inside the appliance, so that it is in contact with the inner back wall. o IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice droplets does not indicate an appliance fault. There is water in the base of the fridge or leaking out of my fridge. o Follow the “The defrost drain hole” section on page 14.
