natural_image Cartoon illustration of a smiling cube character giving thumbs up and making medicine from a mortar (no text or symbols)

- There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.

During first use

- You should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24 hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.

- When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.

During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.

- You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal operating position.

- 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

1 2 0 4 3

You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat control knob is located at the top of the appliance.

- The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer, depending on what number you have turned the thermostat control knob to:-

○ Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However, the light will still function.

○ Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the freezer.

- Position <4> will give you a lower temperature inside the freezer.

- Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position between <2> to <3>.

- The freezer can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and lower.

○ 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.

BAUMATIC BR508 - Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat - 2

On the maximum setting (position <4>), your freezer will work harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no need to run your appliance on this setting for prolonged periods and you should return the thermostat knob to between <2> to <3>.

Control panel

Fast freeze switch Orange Red Green

  • Fast freeze light (Orange) - will light up when the fast freeze switch has been activated.
  • Temperature rise warning light (Red) - will light up when the appliance detects a rise in temperature that could affect the contents of your freezer.
  • Power light (Green) - will light up as soon as the appliance is connected to your mains supply.

The freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.

  • The 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.
    The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 9 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
    ○ Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer, then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
  • The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in regard to the maximum storage time.
  • Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.

Freezing fresh food

BAUMATIC BR508 - Freezing fresh food - 1

natural_image Illustration of a person heating a thermometer with steam rising (no text or symbols)

To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified above, you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, 24 hours prior to attempting freezing.

- For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing.

○ Alternatively you can use the fast freeze option (see the "Freezing with fast freeze" section of this booklet).

Fresh 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.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that builds.

○ IMPORTANT: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the freezer.
- The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position <4>, this will make sure that the food contained in the freezer is frozen properly.
- Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the freezer and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used within a relatively short period of time.
- DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER ONCE IT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
- Set the thermostat knob to position <0> and disconnect the appliance from your mains supply.
Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl of warm water inside the freezer to speed up the defrost process.
- You can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into the bottom of the freezer.
o IMPORTANT: You should place some old towels on the flooring that is immediately in front of the appliance. In case any defrost water comes out of the freezer and onto the floor.
Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of the freezer should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in immediate ice build when the appliance is switched back on.
With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the thermostat knob to position <4> for a 24 hour period, before returning it to the normal setting of between <2> and <3>.

  • You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer until this 24 hour time period has elapsed.
    Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the refrigerant system.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.

Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.

The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a repair.

This includes situations where appliances have been tiled in, sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in front of the appliance, like plinths. Or any installation other than the one specified by Baumatic Ltd. has been completed.

Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on the warranty card that you receive with the appliance.
