To remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the back
of the shelf and carefully pull it out of
the grooves.
Salad crisper drawers and cover o
The crisper drawers are suitable for storing fruits, salad and vegetables. They are designed to keep the contents fresh for as long as possible. o
The crisper cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from drying out prematurely, and can also be used as a shelf. o
Care should be taken when storing tomatoes and tropical fruit such as bananas and pineapples, etc, as these types of items can easily deteriorate at a lower temperature. o
To remove the safety glass crisper cover, remove the salad crisper drawers, lift up the front of the shelf and then pull it towards you.
The dairy compartment o
The top rack on the fridge door should be used to store eggs, butter, cheese, yogurts etc.
IMPORTANT: You should take care not to trap your fingers when opening and shutting the cover of the dairy compartment.
General door racks o
The door liners hold various racks, which are suitable for storing eggs, cheese, butter, yogurt, smaller packages, tubes, cans etc.
9
Bottle rack o
The lower door rack should be used for storing reasonably sized bottles. o
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE
SHELVES THAT SIT IN THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS
THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE.
Door rack height adjustment
It is possible to adjust the height of the door racks o
Remove all items from the rack that you want to adjust the height of. o
Hold both sides of the rack then lift it upwards and pull it towards you. o
Place the rack back into the door at the height that you require and then push it downwards until it
locates into position.

Description of the product features (freezer)
The freezer section consists of a tray drawer (top), a fast freeze drawer (second from top) and two normal drawers (bottom). o
The top of the freezer compartment contains a shallow storage tray which can be used to store smaller items or items which are more regularly used for ease of access. o
The top freezer drawer is labelled as ‘Fast Freeze’. This drawer can be used to quickly freeze fresh food. Please see the Fast
Freeze section for full details o
Should you be storing something for a longer period of time we would recommend using the normal freezer drawers, located below the Fast Freeze drawer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pull the drawers out with too much force, or overload them as this may cause food to fall out when you are opening the drawer.
10
Using your Baumatic fridge freezer
Before switching on o
Remove all packaging materials before using the fridge freezer.
This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories in place both inside and outside the appliance. 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 six 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
The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water. o
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed. o
There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. o
When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor may run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature. o
During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance. o
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before reconnecting it to your mains supply. o
If there is a power cut, the appliance will remember the temperature settings that were set previously.
11
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. o
The thermostat is located at the top of the fridge compartment, behind the door. It regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and 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. o
Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the fridge freezer. o
Position <7> will give you a lower temperature inside the fridge freezer. o
Ideally the thermostat should be set to position <3> or <4>. o
Your refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6 degrees centigrade. o
The freezer section can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and lower. o
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of food and the amount of food that has been placed in the appliance and how often the door is opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained by the appliance. o
On the maximum setting (position <7>), your fridge freezer will work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase the energy usage. There is no need to run your appliance on this setting for prolonged periods and you should return the thermostat knob to position <3> or <4>.
12
Using the Fast Freeze freezer drawer
This facility should be used before and whilst you are freezing fresh food. It will ensure that a powerful supply of cold air enters the top freezer drawer. o
Set the thermostat to setting <7> a few hours prior to freezing the fresh food. o
Put your fresh food into the Fast Freeze drawer and leave to cool for 24 hours. o
After 24 hours check that the food has frozen satisfactorily. If you are not satisfied then you should leave the products to cool for a few more hours and then check again. o
When you are satisfied that your food is satisfactorily frozen you should return the thermostat dial to its normal position of <3> or <4>, and place the frozen food into one of the general freezer drawers.
IMPORTANT: This mode should only be used prior to and when freezing fresh food. You should not run the appliance in fast freeze mode for prolonged periods.
Arranging and storing food in the fridge section
o
Warm food or 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. o
To maximise the space inside of the fridge section, any excessive packaging on the food should be removed. o
Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance. 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.
13
o
Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel and acid in butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts contained inside of the refrigerator. o
Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the door open for long periods of time, as this will increase the temperature inside of the appliance. o
Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on the glass shelf above the salad crisper drawers. o
Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed on any shelf. o
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in the salad crisper drawes. o
Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As much air as possible should be removed from the bags. o
Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the bottle rack 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.
The **** freezer section
The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food. 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 fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is 12 kg. o
Preferably the top drawer should be used when freezing fresh food.
Once the food is frozen, you can then transfer the food to the lower drawers. o
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
14
o
The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in regard to the maximum storage time. o
Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
Freezing fresh food o
To freeze fresh food you should set the thermostat to <7> a few hours prior to attempting freezing. o
Once you have added the food, you should continue to set the thermostat to <7> for 24 hours. 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. If it is then you should allow the appliance to return to normal temperature settings. If it is not, then continue to run fast freeze mode (setting <7>) for another 6 hours or until you
are satisfied.
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. Liquids will expand when being frozen. o
Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids
(especially sparkling liquids) into the freezer as this could cause the bottle to burst during freezing.
15
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. This could indicate that the package has thawed at least once before. o
Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw before you place them in your freezer. This will shorten the length of time that you can safely store the food for.
Defrosting frozen food o
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. o
Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy the micro organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. o
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.
In the event of a power cut o
If there is a power cut, then food inside of the appliance will remain at a safe temperature for approximately 20 hours. o
If the power cut is short, then the best place to leave the frozen food is inside of the freezer compartment. o
If there is a prolonged power cut, then you may need to remove food from the freezer section and store it in a cold place. To preserve the temperature, you should wrap the food in layers of newspaper. o
Once power is restored, if the food has not started to defrost, then it should be returned to the freezer section.
16
o
If any of the food has started to defrost, then you should not return it into the freezer section, it should be consumed within a short period of time.
Making ice cubes o
Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the upper freezer drawers. o
After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to dispense the ice.
Normal operating noises
Ice cracking noise o
Can be heard during the automatic defrosting process.
Short cracking noise o
Can be heard when the thermostat turns the compressor on and off.
Compressor noise o
There will be an operating noise when the compressor is running. o
After installation, the compressor may be noisier for a short period of time.
Bubbling and burbling sound o
This noise is emitted as the coolant flows through the pipework within the fridge.
Water flowing sound o
This is caused by water flowing into the evaporating tray during the defrosting process and can be heard whilst the fridge is defrosting.
17
Important user information
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the airflow duct vents on the rear interior wall of the fridge and freezer sections are not blocked.
IMPORTANT: If your mains power supply fails, then the food inside of the freezer section will be preserved for a 20 hour period. After 20 hours the food should be removed from the freezer section and consumed as quickly as possible.
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%.
Cleaning and Maintenance: o
Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of the appliance to maintain a high performance level. o
Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your appliance.
Usage: o
Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to. o
Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to check the temperature. o
The freezer compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees
Celsius. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees
Celsius.
18
o
Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long). o
In the freezer compartment, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely frozen. o
If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar. o
If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored with the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
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. o
The refrigerator and freezer section 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. o
After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
19
o
When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any of the cleaning steps shown below, you should remove all items from the shelves and sections that you are cleaning.
Fridge and freezer sections
Door rack o
To remove a door rack: Take off all of the items that are stored on the shelf that you want to remove. Pull the shelf upwards (1) and then carefully pull it away from the inside of the door (2).
Fridge shelves 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 back of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves.
Salad crisper drawers o
To remove the drawers, lift up a little and pull forward.
Freezer drawers o
To remove a freezer drawer: Take out all of the items that are stored in the drawer container that you want to remove. Grip the top edge of the drawer and carefully pull it upwards and out.
Interior parts o

20
Door seal o
Use a cloth that has been wetted with water and mild (neutral) detergent and wipe around the door seal.
Rear grill o
You should periodically clean the air vents and condenser at the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or brush. o
When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.
The defrost drain hole
DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF ASOLINE
(PETROL) OR BENZENE (BENZOL)
THINNERS ON ANY AREA OF THE
APPLIANCE. AS THESE CHEMICALS CAN
DAMAGE THE SURFACES. o
Defrosting occurs automatically in the fridge 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.
21
o
IMPORTANT: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be left in position permanently. Otherwise this may prevent the defrost water from entering the drain hole. o
You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean the defrost drainage channel. o
You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your refrigerator. o
Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to clean the evaporating tray. 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.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment should be manually defrosted around twice a year or when a layer of ice builds up thicker than 5 mm. If for example a door has been left open the freezer could quickly develop a build up of ice.
IMPORTANT: The number of times that you need to defrost it will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the compartment. 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. 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 COMPARTMENT
THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW. o
Turn the freezer off and disconnect the appliance from your mains supply. o
Remove the thaw water drainage channel, turn it 180° and place it in front of the freezer compartment, as shown in the diagram opposite. Place a bowl under the thaw water drainage channel to collect the water.
22
o
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
It is recommended to line the floor in front of the freezer with old towels to absorb the defrost water and prevent any damage to the floor surface or surrounding furniture. o
Once all the ice that has built up has melted, the inside of the freezer compartment should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in immediate ice build when the appliance is turned back on. o
Remove the thaw water drainage channel, turn it 180° and place it back in its original place. o
With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the thermostat knob to position <7> for a 24 hour period, before returning the appliance to the usual setting of <3-4>. o
You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer compartment until this 24 hour time period has elapsed. o
Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices
(e.g. hair dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the refrigerant system.
The light bulb
WARNING: This product is fitted with durable LED lights which last for approximately 10,000 hours. Therefore, there is no need to change the light unless it is faulty or damaged. If the lights do need replacing, do not change the fuse or LED lamp on your own. Please call the Baumatic Customer Care Department to arrange an engineer visit.
23
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 inside the refrigerator on the bottom left edge.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force, which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the electric system.
Electrical connection
YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER 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. o
The refrigerator should not share a multi-purpose socket with other electrical appliances. o
The wiring in the mains lead is coloured as follows:
Brown
Blue
Green and yellow
Live
Neutral
Earth 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.
24
o
When the connection is completed, no stray strands or cut wire should be present. The cord clamp must be secured over the outer sheath.
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.
Climate classification Appropriate ambient temperature
SN +10 to +32 degrees centigrade
N
ST
T
+16 to +32 degrees centigrade
+18 to +38 degrees centigrade
+18 to +43 degrees centigrade o
Positioning the appliance requires two persons in order to avoid injuries or damage to the appliance. o
Your appliance should not be located in direct sunlight or exposed to continuous heat or extremes of temperature (e.g. next to a radiator or boiler). If this is not feasible, then you should install an insulation plate between the appliance and the adjacent heat source. o
You should check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after your appliance is installed. o
Place the appliance flatly and firmly on a solid base. The appliance is fitted with adjustable feet on the front side, which can be used to level the appliance. o
The rear side of the appliance is fitted with wheels which facilitate the positioning of the appliance into its final location. o
Anything positioned above the appliance must be at least 10 cm away to allow sufficient cooling of the condenser. You must allow a 2 cm gap either side of the appliance and a 5 cm gap to the rear. o
If you are placing another cooling appliance next to this product, then there must be a gap of at least 10 cm between the appliances. This will help to prevent condensation from forming.
25
o
Be sure to leave enough space for the opening of the door, to avoid damage to the appliance or personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Before locating your appliance into position you should attach the buffer supports (supplied) (1) into the guide slots (2) on the top rear of your appliance. The buffer supports will prevent your appliance from being pushed too far back against a wall which could damage the appliance and reduce airflow.
26
Reversing the doors of your appliance
The doors of your fridge freezer can be set to open from the left or the right. If you want the doors to be hinged on the left hand side and opening from the right hand side, you will need to follow the door reversal process on the following pages.
Caution! After unscrewing any of the fixing hinges, hold the door to prevent it from falling and causing d amage.
Any parts that you remove from the appliance reversing the door, should be retained for later use. whilst
We would recommend a m inimum of two people assist in the door reversal process.

(4). o
While supporting the upper door, reassemble the top hinge (6) into the top left of the top door and then secure the door to the appliance using the two screws. Ensure the door is level and can open/close properly. o

After the door has been reversed, you should check the door seal of the fridge and freezer door. Neither seal should be creased or crushed; otherwise there will be a gap between it and the inside of the door. o
The seal must adhere properly all the way around the door. o
If either seal is not adhering to the cabinet properly, then you should either:-
1. Use a warm damp cloth and manipulate the seal until it does adhere to the cabinet properly, all the way around the door.
or
2. Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of the door seal that are not adhering correctly. The heat will make the seal more pliable and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the correct position.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT HEAT THE DOOR SEAL ON ANYTHING BUT THE
LOWEST HEAT SETTING, OR HEAT THE SEAL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF
TIME. OTHERWISE DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED TO THE DOOR SEAL,
WHICH WOULD NOT BE RECTIFIED UNDER THE GUARANTEE FREE OF
CHARGE.
IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU HAVE REVERSED THE DOORS OF THE
APPLIANCE; AS YOU HAVE PLACED THE APPLIANCE ON ITS SIDE,
YOU MUST WAIT FOR 8 HOURS BEFORE SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE
BACK ON.
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your fridge freezer appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic
Customer Care Department, please refer to the checklist below.
My fridge freezer 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). o
Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance.
30
My fridge freezer appears to be performing poorly. o
Check that the appliance isn’t overloaded and that food hasn’t been packed too tightly into it. o
Either the fridge or freezer temperature is not set to a low enough temperature. You should set the fridge and/or freezer temperature to a lower temperature. o
Ensure that the doors are closing properly and that the doors have not been opened for a prolonged period in error. o
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your appliance.
My fridge freezer is noisy. o
The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipe-work of the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running. o
If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder than normal; check that it is levelled off correctly, that nothing is touching the rear of the fridge freezer and that nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling.
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.
The interior light is not working. o
The interior light of the fridge is made up of LED lights and should be long lasting. Please contact the Customer Service
Department.
