Using your Baumatic fridge freezer

Before switching on

Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in
o
Baumatic's installation instructions.
After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any
o
refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a
o
solution of liquid detergent and water.
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate
o
dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried,
after the cleaning process has been completed.
There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the
o
appliance starts to cool.

During first use

You should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24 hours after switching on the appliance for
o
the first time.
When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or
o
until the fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food
o
within the appliance.
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal operating position.
