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
oWith dry hands, connect your appliance to your mains supply.
Set the thermostat control knob to position <4> for a 24 - 48
hour period, before positioning it to the normal setting of
between <2> and <3>.
oWhen you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
more frequently for approximately 24 - 48 hours.
oDuring this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
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.

10
Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat
oYou switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains
supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat dial is located
by opening the door of the freezer and looking behind the
freezer drawers.
oThe thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the fridge. The temperature is affected by the number that the
thermostat dial is set to.
oThe black dot position means that the appliance will not cool.
oPosition <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the
freezer.
oPosition <4> will give you a lower temperature inside the
freezer.
oIdeally the thermostat dial should be set to a position between
<2> and <3>.
oThe freezer can maintain a temperature of - 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 freezer and how often the door is
opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained
by the appliance.
oOn the maximum setting (position <4>), 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 setting
<4> for prolonged periods.
