Adjustable 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 back

of the shelf and carefully pull it out of

the grooves.

Salad crisper drawer and cover o

The crisper drawer is 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 tropical fruit (bananas and pineapples etc) and tomatoes. As these types of items can easily deteriorate at a lower temperature. o

To remove the safety glass crisper cover, remove the salad crisper drawer, lift up the front of the shelf and then pull it towards you.

Salad crisper with UV-light technology o

The salad crisper drawer contains a unique UV light which helps to keep fruit and vegetables fresh for longer. o

The UV light works by promoting photosynthesis and assists in locking in vitamins and nutrients by stimulating growth and slowing decay.

Chiller drawer o

The chiller drawer has its own temperature regulation with a range from -2°C to 3°C enabling you to carefully chill foods to your required preference. o

For the storage of fresh meat and fish, we would recommend that they are stored in a foil cover or a vinyl wrap at a temperature of approximately 0°C. o

If used for chilling drinks, we would recommend that they are stored at approximately 2°C to 3°C o

Care should be taken when storing tropical fruit (bananas and pineapples etc) and tomatoes. As these types of items can easily deteriorate in a lower temperature.

IMPORTANT: You should only chill similar types of food in the chiller drawer at a time because different food types should be stored at different temperatures. This will help to avoid freezing liquid or inadvertent frost damage, etc.

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.

Bottle rack* o

The lower middle 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 upper general door rack or the bottle rack. 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.

*NOTE: By adjusting the position of the door racks you will increase / decrease the storage height of adjacent racks.

Please adjust to your preference.

Description of the product features (freezer)

The freezer section consists of an upper and lower drawer. o

The top freezer drawer contains an internal shallow storage tray which can be used to store smaller items or items which are more regularly used for ease of access. o

Opening the top drawer will pull out both the drawer and the shallow tray. If you wish to retrieve or store something in the main compartment of the top freezer drawer then simply push the shallow tray back into the freezer allowing access to the main drawer. o

Should you be storing something for a longer period of time or a larger item then we would recommend using the main drawer compartment, located below the top drawer tray or in the larger lower freezer 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.

Arranging and storing food in the fridge section

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. 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. 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. 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 drawer or in the chiller drawer.

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 drawer. o

Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or they can be 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 (in kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is 12 kg. 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. 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 freezer to super freeze mode (see page 16) 6 hours prior to

attempting freezing. o

Once you have added the food, you should then run the super freeze mode again for another 6 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.

Tips on freezing o

After 6 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 run super freeze mode for another 6 hours. 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.

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 13 hours. o

If the power cut is short, then the best place to leave the frozen food is inside of the freezer compartment. Particularly if there are ice cubes inside the of the upper freezer drawer, as this will help to maintain the temperature. 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.

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. o

The appliance will return to normal operation and will remember the previously set modes/temperatures for each chamber. Please check that any operational modes are displayed on the control panel.

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.

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 13 hour period. After 13 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. 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.

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.

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

+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 30 cm away to allow sufficient cooling of the condenser. You must allow a 10 cm gap either side of the appliance and a 15 cm gap to the rear. o

If you are placing another cooling appliance next door 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. o

Be sure to leave enough space for the opening of the door, to avoid damage to the appliance or personal injury.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains supply and then contact

Baumatic Customer Care on telephone number

(0118) 933 6911.

YOURSELF.

If there is a power cut, food inside of the appliance will remain at a safe temperature for approximately 13 hours. If the power cut is short, then the best place to leave the frozen food is inside of the freezer compartment. 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.
