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
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.
oWith dry hands, connect your appliance to your mains supply. Set
the thermostat dial to the highest position <MAX> for a 24 hour
period, before placing food in the freezer drawers.
oDuring this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
oIt is strongly recommended that you use a freezer thermostat to
check that the temperature in the freezer is below -18°C before
loading any food into it.
oIf the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
reconnecting it to your mains supply.
