Using your Baumatic combi 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 will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process 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.


10

During first use

o

You should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24 hours after switching on the appliance for the first time. o

When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will 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

You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal operating position. 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 dial is located on the control panel, which can be found at the top of the fridge freezer.

o

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge freezer, depending on which setting you have turned the thermostat dial to. o

You should turn the thermostat dial clockwise. o

If the arrow is positioned to the smaller dots, then you will get a higher temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections. o

If the arrow is positioned to the larger dots, then you will get a lower temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections.

11


o

Ideally the arrow should be set to the midway position (as shown in the diagram opposite). 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

If the thermostat dial is set to a higher setting

(shown opposite), your fridge and freezer sections will work harder to maintain a lower temperature.

There is no need to run your appliance on the higher settings and the dial should be set in the position shown above. o

IMPORTANT: If you run the appliance with the thermostat dial on a higher setting for prolonged periods, the defrost drain hole will freeze. It may also cause the appliance to overwork and the fridge and freezer sections to freeze over.

Arranging and storing food in the fridge section

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. 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.


12

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 drawers.

(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two days at the most).

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 drawers. 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 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.

The

freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food. o

The freezer compartment 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 compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period is indicated on the rating plate of your appliance. You should not attempt to freeze more than this amount of fresh food within a 24 hour period.

13


o

Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment, 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. o

If power is cut to the appliance, then the food inside of it will be safe for a maximum of 12 hours. You should minimise the number of times that you open the doors of the appliance during this period of time.

Freezing fresh food

o

To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified on the rating plate, you should turn the thermostat dial to its maximum position (shown opposite), a few hours prior to attempting freezing. o

For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the thermostat dial to its maximum position, 1 hour prior to freezing. 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

After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the thermostat dial should be turned back to its normal operating position. o

IMPORTANT: If you run the appliance with the thermostat dial on a higher setting for prolonged periods, the defrost drain hole will freeze. It may also cause the appliance to overwork and the fridge and freezer sections to freeze over.

14


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 they could cause the bottle to burst during freezing.

Making ice cubes

o

Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment. 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.

15


Warning alarm

Your appliance is equipped with temperature sensors in the fridge and freezer sections. o

The sensors assess the temperatures being achieved by the fridge and freezer sections. o

If the recorded temperature in either section goes above the temperature that you have set on the thermostat dial, the warning alarm neon (red) will light. o

There will also be an audible warning signal, to make you aware that the sensors have sensed a temperature rise. o

The warning alarm neon will stay switched on until the recorded temperature has fallen to the level set on the thermostat dial. o

To silence the audible alarm, press the warning alarm off button. o

Please note, the warning alarm neon will switch on if either of the doors have been open for a period of time. Or if the thermostat dial has been turned clockwise to a colder setting. o

If the warning alarm neon (red) stays lit for a prolonged period, then you should contact the Baumatic Service Department.

16


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 compartment 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. o

When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.


17

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. 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.

18


Defrosting the

freezer compartment

Your appliance is frost free, so you will not need to manually defrost the freezer section.

However 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 and perform a manual defrost. o

The day before you defrost, you should turn the thermostat dial to its maximum setting. This will make sure that the food contained in the freezer section is frozen properly. 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

After ensuring that your hands are dry, disconnect your fridge freezer from your mains supply o

Remove the drawers from the freezer section and leave the door to the freezer compartment open. You can place a bowl of warm water inside of the freezer compartment to speed up the defrost process. o

You can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into the bottom of the freezer section. o

IMPORTANT: You should place some old towels on the flooring that is immediately in front of the appliance; in case any defrost water comes out of the freezer section and onto the floor. o

Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of the freezer compartment should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in immediate ice build when the appliance is switched back on. o

With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply.

You should turn the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for

24 hours. o

You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer compartment until this 24 hour time period has elapsed.

19


o

Once the 24 hour period has elapsed, you should return the thermostat dial to its normal operating position. 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.

Replacing the light bulb

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR

APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM

YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT

BULB.

o

There is an interior light in the top of the refrigerator section. o

Remove the bulb housing cover, by gently pulling the clip away from its slot. Then slide the cover off, removing the lugs on the cover from the bulb housing. 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.


20
