Description of the product features
1) Shelves oThe shelves may be placed in any of
the guide slots within the interior of
the appliance. They are protected from
sliding out.
oTo alter the shelf position: Lift the
shelf and pull it towards you until it
reaches the crack in the guide slot. At
the guide interruption point, the shelf
may be adjusted to the height of your
choice. Push the shelf all the way in to
the rear end of the guide slot.
oTo remove a shelf: Lift the shelf and pull it towards you (1) until
it reaches the crack in the guide slot. At the guide interruption
point, lift the left side of the shelf up (2) and pull it out from the
appliance in the inclined position (3). Reinsertion is carried out
in the opposite procedure.
2) Defrost water outlet
oThe interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that
is on the rear wall. Beneath this there is a channel and an outlet
for the defrost water.
oIt is important that this channel never becomes clogged (see
“Defrosting the refrigerator compartment” for a detailed
explanation of how to keep the channel clear).
3) Crisper drawer and cover
oThe crisper drawer is in the bottom of your refrigerator and there
is a cover that goes over it.
oThe cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from drying out
prematurely.
4) Butter compartment
oThe butter compartment should only be used for storing packs of
butter or margarine.

10
5) Bottle shelf
oThe lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized
bottles.
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE SHELVES
THAT SIT IN THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS THIS WILL
DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE.
Using your Baumatic larder fridge
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 refrigerator
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 in the appliance.
oIf the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance with the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.

11
Turning 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 dial is located on
the upper right hand side of the fridge interior. The control knob
should be rotated in a clockwise direction.
oThe thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside of
the fridge, 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 of the
fridge.
oPosition <7> will give you a lower temperature inside of the
fridge.
oIdeally the thermostat should be set to a position of between
<3> to <4>.
oYour refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6
degrees centigrade.
oIMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of the 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 <7>), your fridge 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 and you should return the
thermostat knob to position <3> or <4>.
oIMPORTANT: Do not run the appliance with the thermostat
above number 5 in normal usage otherwise the defrost drainage
hole will freeze.

12
Arranging and storing food in your refrigerator
oWarm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your
refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the
appliance.
oAll 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. Liquids
should be stored in covered containers or bottles.
oTo maximise the space inside of your refrigerator, any excessive
packaging on the food should be removed.
oQuickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the
refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance.
oNo food items should be allowed to come into contact with the
back wall of the refrigerator.
oMake sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can
close completely. Particular attention should be given to bottles
that may protrude when placed on shelves inside the main
section of the refrigerator.
oSome organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel
and acid in butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts
contained inside of the refrigerator.
oDo not open the refrigerator 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.
oMeat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on
the glass shelf above the salad drawer.
(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two
days at the most).
oCold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed
on any shelf.
oFruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed
in the salad drawer.
oCheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or
they can be wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As
much air as possible should be removed from the bags.

13
oMilk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelf that sits in the door.
oGarlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.

Arranging and storing food in your **** freezer
compartment
Freezing fresh foods
oCarefully select the food you intend to freeze. It should be of
adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
oUse the correct packaging and wrap it right. The packaging
should be air tight and should not leak as this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods. Foils and bags
should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
oClearly mark packages with the kind and amount of foods and
the date of freezing.
oIt is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as
possible. Therefore it is recommended that the size of the
package is not too large and the food is cooled before loading it
into the freezer.
oThe amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer
within 24 hours is 2 kg. If the loaded amount is too large, the
quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of the
frozen foods.

14
oWarm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then
the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
Defrosting frozen food
oPartially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make
foods perishable.
oPartial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods,
especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
Storing frozen foods
oThe storage time and recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. You
should always consult the manufacturer’s instructions.
oWhen shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed
foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where
the temperature is not higher than 18°C.
oDo not buy packages of food covered with a frost layer. This
indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be
careful that packages don’t start to thaw as the temperature rise
reduces the quality of the foods.

How to make ice-cubes
oThe recommended thermostat position for making ice-cubes is
on the middle setting.
oFill 2/3 of an ice-tray with cold water. Insert the ice-tray into the
guides or on the cooling plate of the freezer compartment.
oThe time required for the ice to form largely depends on the
ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on how often the
door is opened. It usually takes 2-6 hours.
oThe easiest way to empty the ice-tray is to turn the tray around
and pour it with cold water and slightly twist and bend it.
Saving energy when using your fridge-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%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
oOccasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
oDefrost the freezer compartment 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.

16
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 compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees
Celsius. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 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 compartment, 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 fridge, 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.

17
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
oDo not clean the appliance by pouring water onto
it or spraying water over it.
oThe refrigerator compartment 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 refrigerator compartment
oDefrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray
and evaporates automatically.
oThe evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be
cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. This will prevent
water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
oYou can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole
to clean inside of it.

18
oYou should be careful to make sure that food packages do not
touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the
automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of
your refrigerator.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
oWhen the frost and ice layer in the freezing compartment is 3-5
mm thick, you should clean the freezer.
oTurn the thermostat control knob to the STOP (0) position and
disconnect the power supply. Empty the compartment and take
care that the packages remain frozen.
oAny melted water that collects at the bottom of the appliance
should be mopped with an absorbing cloth.
oAvoid using defrosting sprays as they may cause damage to the
plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
Cleaning of the condenser
IMPORTANT: Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before carrying out any cleaning procedure.
oExcessive dust upon the condenser is signalled by the sound of
an alarm, which is audible when the door is opened until the
fault is removed. To remove the dust you should:
oPush your finger through the opening in the bottom rail and
release the fastener. Pull the rail towards you and remove it.
oRemove the bottom board of the kitchen cabinet and pull the
condenser dish out. Use the vacuum cleaner to clean the dust
from the condenser.
oReplace the condenser dish and the bottom rail in the opposite
order.

19
Periodical cleaning of the condenser
IMPORTANT: Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before carrying out any cleaning procedure.
oIn order to optimise the operation of the appliance and save
energy, it is recommended to periodically clean the dust from
the condenser at the back of the appliance.
oEmpty the contents of the appliance.
oRemove the supporting panel from the bottom of the kitchen
cabinet.
oRemove the screws fixing the appliance to the kitchen worktop.
oPull the appliance out and expose the condenser at the back of
the appliance.
oUnscrew the screws from the condenser bonnet and remove the
bonnet.
oClean the dust and dirt from the condenser. After cleaning,
return the appliance to its place and plug in the mains power
cord.
