WHEN THE UNIT STARTS
COOLING.
We recommend that you
have the Freezer delivered
near to where you plan to
install it so that this fluid
can settle.

USING your Baumatic BV12.2A Freezer
i) CONTINUOUS
OPERATION – the yellow
light is on.
To make your freezer
operate in the continuous
operation mode, you need to
TURN THE DIAL ON THE
CONTROL PANEL TO ‘SUPER’
using a coin.
In continuous operation, the
cooling system will work
constantly to chill your
appliance. Select this mode
when you want to freeze large
amounts of fresh foods and in
case you want to deep freeze
foods that are already frozen.
ii) AUTOMATIC OPERATION –
the yellow light is off
Your freezer will operate on
NOTE
• The thermostat knob position
• How often you open the door.
• Ambient temperature.
The interior temperature is
controlled by the thermostat
which turns the cooling
system on and off.
‘Automatic Operation’ as
long as the dial on the
control panel is set between
‘min’ and ‘max’ and NOT
‘SUPER’.
: How often the appliance
switches its cooling system
on and off depends on:
(thermostat position)
.
THE RED SIGNAL LAMP
• The red light comes on only when there is
something wrong with your freezer. See the
Troubleshooting section for details on how to
deal with red light emergencies.
• Essentially, this is an LED alarm that activates
because the temperature inside the freezer has
risen errantly beyond the scope of the setting you
had selected (red signal lamp will be on).
