Arranging and storing food in the fridge section
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 the fridge section, 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.
oMeat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on
the glass shelf above the vegetable 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 or in the chiller case.
oSalad and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed
in the salad/vegetable drawers.
oFruit should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in the fruit
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.

oMilk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelves that sit in the door.
oGarlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.
The freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
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 fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food
(in kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is listed on
the rating plate.
oWarm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment,
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.
Freezing fresh food
oTo freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified above, you should turn the SUPER
FREEZER function on 24 hours prior to attempting
freezing.
oTo freeze smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should turn on the SUPER FREEZER function a few
hours prior to attempting freezing.
oFresh food should be packed into airtight
containers or packaging. This will help to make
sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its
flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not
transfer from other foods.
17

oDo not allow fresh food to touch items that are
already frozen.
oAfter 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is
satisfactorily frozen. If it is then you should turn the SUPER
FREEZER function off again to return the appliance to normal
operation.
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.
18
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.
oDo not place bottles (glass or tin)
containing liquids (especially sparkling
liquids) into the freezer as this could
cause the bottle to burst during
freezing.
Activating the child lock
Your appliance is fitted with a lock that will prevent a child from
changing the temperature settings or any other settings that can be
activated from the control panel.
oPress the ice-maker lock button once and the child lock
will activate. The lock icon will light on the display.
oTo switch off the child lock, press and hold the lock
button for longer than three seconds. The lock icon on
the display will go out.

The dispenser
When your fridge/freezer is first connected to your mains supply, it will
automatically select chilled water mode and the water symbol will
light.
Before first use
You should not attempt to dispense ice for 24 hours after
the appliance is first connected to your mains supply.
oOnce the fridge and freezer sections have cooled sufficiently
place a cup against the PUSH pad in the dispenser and pour out
a couple of glasses of water.
oIMPORTANT: These first couple of glasses should not be drunk
and the water should be poured down the sink.
Using the dispenser
oThe dispenser can produce chilled water and cubed ice.
oPress the WATER or ICE dispensing button to select what you
want the dispenser to produce.
oPlace a cup against the pad in the dispenser and push it, after a
few seconds it will dispense water or cubed ice. What comes out
of the dispenser will depend on what option you selected before
pushing the pad.
oYou should place the glass directly underneath the water/ice
chute and not rest it on the base of the dispenser. Otherwise
water/ice can spill or splash.
oWhen the dispenser is producing ice, you should remove the
cup/glass from the dispenser chute when it is half full, otherwise
you may get ice overflowing or the dispenser outlet could
become blocked.
oShortly after ice has come out, you will hear a snapping sound
which is a shut off valve operating; this stops further ice from
being dispensed.
o1 hour after you have dispensed cubed or crushed ice, the
selection mode will return to chilled water automatically.
19

20
The ice maker
o14 - 15 times a day, the ice maker will automatically produce
approximately 10 ice cubes.
oThese ice cubes will be stored in the ice cube storage case.
oIf the ice storage case becomes full, then the automatic ice
making operation will stop.
oIt is normal for there to be banging sounds, whilst the ice is
being deposited into the ice cube storage case.
oIf you use the dispenser several times in quick succession, then
the ice cube storage case may empty. You will then need to wait
approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to refill it.
Dispenser and ice maker warnings
oAvoid using fragile cups or crystal glasses if you are dispensing
cubed or crushed ice, as damage could be caused to them.
oTo prevent a bad odour then you should regularly remove the ice
from the ice cube storage case.
oIf you have not dispensed ice for a period of time, then clear all
of the ice out of the ice cube storage case and let the appliance
produce fresh ice.
oDO NOT USE ICE THAT HAS BEEN STORED IN THE ICE
CUBE STORAGE CASE FOR A LONG TIME.
oIMPORTANT: If you find that either the cubed or crushed
ice is discoloured, do not use the ice.
oRemove all of the ice in the ice cube storage case.
oLet fresh ice form.
oIf the ice is still discoloured then change the water filter.
oIf the ice is STILL discoloured after changing the water
filter, then contact the Baumatic Customer Care
Department.
oIf there is a power cut you should remove all ice from the ice
cube storage case. If you leave the ice in the storage case, then
it will melt and water will flow into the main section of the
freezer.
oDO NOT insert your fingers or any tools into the dispenser
outlet.
