Description of the product features Safety glass 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. Fridge section door storage compartments o The door liner holds various shelves, which are suitable for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt.
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 means that any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process are allowed to settle.
o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or reconnecting it to your mains supply. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge freezer, depending on what number you have turned the thermostat dial to. o If you set the thermostat dial below position <1>, then the appliance will not cool, but the internal light will still function.
Arranging and storing food in the fridge section A = Cooked food B = Fruit and vegetables C = Fish, meat and frozen foods D = Bottles / jars E = Butter and cheese 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 Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance. o No food items should be allowed to come into contact with the back wall of the refrigerator. o Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can close completely. Particular attention should be given to bottles that may protrude when placed on shelves inside the main section of the refrigerator.
The freezer compartment The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food. The table below shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. o The freezer section 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 section is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 6.
Freezing fresh food o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help to make sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not transfer from other foods. o Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen. o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen.
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.
o The twist ice maker has to be manually filled with water. To do this, pull out the section with the 3 dials on it (shown in the picture above) and then fill it with cold, drinkable water. o Once the water has formed into ice cubes, you should then turn any of the 3 dials to deposit ice into the ice cube storage section below. o Once ice has been deposited, you can then refill the twist ice maker with water. o You should clean the ice cube storage case regularly using warm water.
Saving energy when using your fridge-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 fridge, 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.
The defrost drain hole o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section 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.
Defrosting the freezer compartment Over a period of time or if for example the door is left open for a prolonged period of time or the door gasket is not sealing correctly, then you could get ice building in the freezer section. If this occurs, then you should follow the steps below. o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place.
Replacing the light bulb WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o Squeeze the tabs on the sides of the lamp cover to remove it. 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.
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. The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal marked “E” (earth), or by the earth symbol, or coloured green and yellow.
o Anything positioned above the appliance must be at least 5 cm away to allow sufficient cooling of the condenser. You must also allow a 5 cm gap to the rear and sides of the appliance. o If you are placing another cooling appliance next door to this product, then there must be a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliances. This will help to prevent condensation from forming. o Be sure to leave enough space for the opening of the door, to avoid damage to the appliance or personal injury.
o The internal parts of the appliance can shrink and expand due to temperature change, which may result in cracking sounds. Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my fridge or there is water in the base of the 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.
Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge. The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a repair.
