However it is a flammable substance, therefore care should be
taken:
During the transportation and installation of the

does not get damaged.
If it does become damaged then sources of ignition

IMPORTANT: When you install your appliance it is important to bear
in mind its climatic rating.
In order to find out the climatic rating of your appliance, you should
check the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the front left edge
of the inside of the fridge section. You will need to open the door of
your appliance to be able to find it. The rating plate will indicate the
ambient temperature range that your appliance will function correctly
within.

Using your Baumatic combi fridge freezer
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 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.
10
During first use
o You should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24
hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.
o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge
freezer 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 You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal
operating position.
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.
Switching 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 dial is located on the
control panel, which can be found at the top of the fridge freezer.
o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the fridge freezer, depending on which setting you have turned
the thermostat dial to.
o You should turn the thermostat dial clockwise.
o If the arrow is positioned to the smaller dots, then you will get a
higher temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections.
o If the arrow is positioned to the larger dots, then you will get a
lower temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections.
11
o Ideally the arrow should be set to the midway
position (as shown in the diagram opposite).
o Your refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6
degrees centigrade.
o The freezer section can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and
lower.
o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of 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.
o If the thermostat dial is set to a higher setting
(shown opposite), your fridge and freezer sections
will work harder to maintain a lower temperature.
There is no need to run your appliance on a higher
setting and the dial should be set in the position
shown above.
o IMPORTANT: If you run the appliance with the thermostat dial
on its higher setting for prolonged periods, the defrost drainage
hole will freeze.
Arranging and storing food in the fridge section
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 the fridge section, 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.
