Using your Baumatic larder fridge
Before switching on
o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s
installation instructions.
o After 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, are allowed to settle.
o The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
o The 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.
o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the refrigerator
reaches a cool enough temperature.
o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
o If 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.
10
Page 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 is located on the upper
right hand side of the inside of the cabinet, next to the interior light.
o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the refrigerator, depending on what number you have turned the
thermostat control knob to.
o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However
the light will still function.
o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the
refrigerator.
o Position <5> will give you a lower temperature inside the
refrigerator.
o Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position between <3>
to <4>.
o Your larder fridge can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6
degrees centigrade.
oIMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the refrigerator and how often the
door is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o On the maximum setting (position <5>), your refrigerator 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. Unless you are freezing fresh food,
you should have the thermostat set to position <3> or <4>.
11
Page 12
Arranging and storing food in your refrigerator
o Warm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your
refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the
appliance.
o All 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.
o To maximise the space inside of your refrigerator, any excessive
packaging on the food should be removed.
o Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the
refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance.
o No food items should be allowed to come into contact with the
back wall of the refrigerator.
o Make 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.
o Some 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.
o Do 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 drawers.
(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 drawers.
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.
12
Page 13
oMilk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelf that sits in the door.
o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.
Saving energy when using your refrigerator
Installing:
o Install 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.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Clean 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:
o Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you
have to.
o Do 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.
o The refrigerator should operate at around 3 – 4 degrees Celsius.
o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the
appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
o If 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.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto
it or spraying water over it.
o The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned
periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and lukewarm water.
o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water.
Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have
cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect
the plug to your mains supply.
14
Page 15
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray
and evaporates automatically.
o The 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.
o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole
to clean inside of it.
o You 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.
Replacing the light bulb
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT
BULB.
o Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover and slide the
cover off.
15
Page 16
o Change the present light bulb with a new one. The replacement
bulb should not have a greater rating than 15 W.
o Replace the light cover and after waiting five minutes, reconnect
your plug to your mains supply.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage,
read all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on
the rating plate are exactly the same as the
voltage and frequency in your home. The rating
plate can be found on the front left edge of the
