OVERLOADED, AS THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE. 6) Freezer section freezer section, with a gross capacity of 65 litres. 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 Baumatic’s installation instructions.
During first use You should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24 hours after switching on the appliance for the first time. 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.
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. 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.
Fast freeze function Your appliance is fitted with a fast freeze setting, which you should use when freezing fresh food. Turn the thermostat dial (14) to the SF position. To turn off the fast freeze function, turn the thermostat dial (14) back to the Eco. position. If the fast freeze function is not switched off, then it will do so automatically after approximately 2 days.
IMPORTANT: The fast freeze function should not be switched on for prolonged periods of time; otherwise it may cause the appliance to overwork. It could also cause the fridge and freezer section to freeze over. Tips on freezing Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen goods in.
Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
At least three hours prior to defrosting, the fast freeze setting should be switched on; this will make sure that the food contained in the freezer section is frozen properly. Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the freezer section and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place.
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 on the front left edge of the inside of the refr igerator.
