appliance is free of stored items such as papers and other

flammable materials.

check the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the front left edge

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 remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on

the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the front of the shelf

and carefully pull it out of the grooves.

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) Salad crisper drawers and cover

oThe salad crisper drawers are in the bottom of your refrigerator

and there is a cover that goes over them.

prematurely.

storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt. As well as smaller

packages, tubes, cans etc.

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 fridge

freezer 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 within the appliance.

oIf the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5

minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
