Using your Baumatic freezer
Before switching on
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s
installation instructions.
oAfter 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.
oThe outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
oThe 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.
oThere can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
oYou should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24
hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.
oWhen you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the freezer
reaches a cool enough temperature.
oDuring this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
oYou should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal
operating position.
oIf 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 control knob is located at
the top of the appliance.
oThe thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the
freezer, depending on what number you have turned the
thermostat control knob to:-
oPosition <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However the
light will still function.
oPosition <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the freezer.
oPosition <5> will give you a lower temperature inside the freezer.
oIdeally the thermostat should be set to position between <3>.
oThe freezer can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and lower.
oIMPORTANT: 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.
oOn the maximum setting (position <5>), your 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.

switch has been activated.
oTemperature rise warning light (Red) - will light up when the
appliance detects a rise in temperature that could affect the
contents of your freezer.
The freezer compartment
oThe 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.
oThe freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of
food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 4.5
kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
oWarm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to
freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer, then the increased
humidity will cause quicker ice formation and increase the amount
of power that the appliance uses.
oThe guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
oThawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
11
oDo not open the freezer door too often or leave the door open for
long periods of time, as this will increase the temperature inside of
the appliance and will increase the energy usage.

Tips on freezing
oFreezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
oTape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and
wrappings.
oBefore sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the
air out of it, as this will help the food to freeze more
easily.
oFlat packages freeze more easily.
oIf you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the container to the brim.
Liquids will expand when being frozen.
12
oDo 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
oFill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer
compartment.
oAfter 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.

Freezing with fast freeze
This function should be used whilst you are freezing fresh food, it will
ensure that a powerful supply of cold air enters the freezer
compartment.
13
oPress the fast freeze switch (2) and the freezer will start to run
continuously at its maximum setting.
oThe yellow fast freeze light (5) will come on when the fast freeze
setting has been switched on.
oThere is no need to adjust the thermostat knob.
oThe freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will get to
its lowest temperature.
oPlace the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer.
oOnce the food is frozen, you should switch off the fast freeze
setting. DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE FAST FREEZE SETTING
UNTIL THE FOOD IS FULLY FROZEN.
oThe orange fast freeze light will go out and your appliance will
return to normal operation.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LEAVE THE APPLIANCE RUNNING IN FAST
FREEZE MODE FOR LONGER THAN 24 HOURS AT A TIME.
Saving energy when using your freezer
Installing:
oInstall 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.
oEnsure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.

14
Cleaning and Maintenance:
oOccasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
oDefrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice decreases
the efficiency of the appliance. You should defrost whenever the
frost reaches 5 mm thickness.
oClean 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:
oDo not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you
have to.
oDo 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.
oThe freezer should operate at -15 to -18 degrees Celsius.
oAllow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long).
oIn the freezer, food packages should be scattered and never
grouped or stacked together until they are completely frozen.
oIf you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the
appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
oIf 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:
oIf you're going to throw out your old freezer, 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.
15
oDo not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it
or spraying water over it.
oThe freezer should be cleaned periodically, using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
oClean the accessories separately with soap and water.
Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
oDo not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
oAfter washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have
cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
oWhen cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect
the plug to your mains supply.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically.
You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that
builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice a
year. 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 freezer.
oThe day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position
<5>, this will make sure that the food contained in the freezer is
frozen properly.

16
oWhilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from
the freezer 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.
oDO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER ONCE IT HAS
STARTED TO THAW.
oSet the thermostat knob to position <0> and disconnect the
appliance from your mains supply.
oLeave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl of warm
water inside the freezer to speed up the defrost process.
oYou can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into
the bottom of the freezer.
oIMPORTANT: 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 and onto the floor.
oOnce all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of the
freezer should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in
immediate ice build when the appliance is switched back on.
oWith dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set
the thermostat knob to position <5> for a 24 hour period, before
returning it to the normal setting of <3>.
oYou should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer until
this 24 hour time period has elapsed.
oDo 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.
