We recommend that you have the Fridge delivered near to where you plan to install it so that this fluid can settle.

Situating your freezer

CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE THE APPLIANCE NEAR HEAT SOURCES AND FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION ADVICE SHOWN ON PAGE 14.

FOR FULL INSTALLATION ADVICE, PLEASE SEE PAGE 14.

MAKE A NOTE OF THE LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW FRIDGE-FREEZER. MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL FIT PROPERLY SO THAT:

1) The doors can open freely and completely.
2) You can access your food conveniently.
3) There is sufficient space at the back for the cooling coils to give off heat safely & that they do not touch the plug (see SAFETY SECTION).

NOTE: You can reverse the swing of the door to customise the unit to your location. Please see pages 16 for details.

Using your Baumatic BV14A Freezer

You switch on your appliance

by PLUGGING IT IN & SETTING THE THERMOSTAT. This can be found on the control panel at the bottom of the front of the appliance.

THE CONTROL PANEL

The freezer is controlled with switches and the thermostat button.

It is shown below:

1 ON/OFF switch (green signal lamp)
2 Continuous operation button (yellow signal lamp)
3 Alarm off button (red signal lamp)

KEY:

1) ON/OFF SWITCH -

When the appliance is switched on, the green light comes on.

When it is off, the light goes off.

2) CONTINUOUS OPERATION BUTTON -

This switch is used to select one of the two automatic operation modes: continuous and automatic.

i) CONTINUOUS OPERATION –

the yellow light is on. 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.

the yellow light is off. The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off.

How often the appliance switches its cooling system on and off depends on:

• The thermostat knob position (thermostat position)
• How often you open the door.
- Ambient temperature.

3) Alarm off Button and the red signal lamp

- You turn the alarm off by pressing the Alarm off' button. It looks like this:

The alarm goes on because the temperature inside the freezer has risen errantly beyond the scope of the setting you had selected (red signal lamp will be on). It will also go off when the there is excessive dust collected at the back of the condenser (red signal lamp will be off).

Temperature Selection

Using Your Freezer Starting Your Freezer For The First Time (* After It Has Been Installed)

You control the freezer's interior temperature automatically by setting the thermostat. This can be found on the control panel at the bottom of the freezer.

• The most suitable position is in the middle between max. (7) & min. (1).
• We recommend setting the thermostat on a position approaching maximum (7) only to accelerate cooling (e.g., before loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the operation mode has risen to the ambient temperature).
• Thermostat settings towards min. (1) help you save energy, provided that the freezer is loaded with a smaller amount of frozen foods.
• Changes in the ambient temperature will affect the temperature in the interior of the appliance.
• Choose the correct setting using the thermostat knob (pictured below).
• Switch the freezer on.
• The sound alarm will come on because the temperature will be too high. It is designed to activate when exposed to this. THIS IS NORMAL. You switch the alarm off by pressing the alarm button:
• On the control panel, switch to the continuous operation position. All three signal lamps will light up. Place fresh food into the freezer several hours after the red signal lamp has gone off.

Proper Freezing Procedure

• 24 hours before you place fresh food in the freezer, switch the continuous operation button ('2' in Figure on page 7) on (i.e., so that the yellow lamp comes on). At the end of this period, load fresh food into the freezing compartment (the topmost compartment of the freezer).
• After 24 hours, move the frozen food to the storage compartment of the freezer and repeat the freezing procedure with a new load, if required.
• REMINDER - fresh food should not touch those packages that are already frozen.

USING YOUR FREEZER

- Approximately 24 hours after the last loading of fresh food into your freezer, press the continued operation button again ('2' in Figure on page 7) so that the freezer switches to its automatic operation (yellow light turns off).

Points To Bear In Mind When Using Your Freezer

• If you want to freeze small quantities of fresh food (1-2kg), you DON'T have to switch the appliance to the continuous operation mode.
• The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. For storing and use, consider the manufacturer's instructions.
• When shopping, be careful to choose only packages of foods which are adequately packed and provided with complete data. They should be stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C.
• Do not buy packages of food encased in frost or ice. This indicates that the package has thawed at least once previously.
• Take care that packages don't start to thaw. Temperature rise shortens the storage time of commercially frozen foods.

- Do NOT touch the cooled surfaces while your freezer is operating, especially not with wet hands or mouth. Skin might stick to the cold surfaces and become damaged.

- Do not freeze bottled drinks, especially not fi zzy ones such as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola, etc., because liquid expands during freezing and may make the container it is in explode.

- With the exception of ice cream, never try to eat frozen food. You may get frostbite or damage your teeth and mouth.

- Carefully check the food for colour or smell. If you are in doubt about the quality of the food stored, throw it away because it may be spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.

- Disconnect the appliance from the mains before repairing (only a qualified technician should repair it) and before cleaning / maintenance.

- Only use the tools enclosed with your appliance or those tools that have been recommended for use in this manual.

- The rating plate is in the interior or on the rear wall of the appliance.

- Storing time During Power Supply Interruption. Avoid opening the freezer in case of a blackout that lasts longer than 15 hours.

• To reduce humidity and possible frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the freezer.
  • Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can close completely.
• NOTE - Sometimes your freezer door may seem 'stuck' if you try to open it again right after closing it. This normal phenomenon is due to pressure shifts within the appliance and should clear in a few minutes. Please give it this time before re-opening.
• NEVER place warm food inside the freezer. Warm food must be allowed to cool to room temperature fi rst.
• Unpleasant odours within may mean your freezer needs to be cleaned or that food has spoiled and needs to be discarded.

• Pack food in freezer storage bags, noting the type of food, quantity, date prepared and inserted into the freezer. Write this information on the bags.

• Always be mindful of the storage life of foods you are going to be freezing for a long time. Although the temperature of the freezer can dip to a very low level, this does not mean that food can be stored indefinitely. Pay particular attention to the information printed on the packaging of the foods you are going to be placing in your freezer.

• Always store food with a view to how often it will be used. Food consumed daily should be placed in a more accessible place than food stored long-term so that you don't end up leaving the door open for extended periods while searching for food.
• Do not store excessive quantities or weights of food. Always try to leave gaps between your packages for better storage results.
• Do NOT place food too closely to the interior walls. Items placed too closely to walls may freeze to them!
• Do not load tepid packages alongside frozen ones in your freezer. The freshly introduced food may cause a slight and potentially detrimental thaw in the frozen article/s.
• Use correct packaging and wrap items correctly.
• The packaging should be airtight and shouldn't leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration from your food.
• Foil and bags should be applied carefully to articles of food so that they can be stored systematically & comfortably within the freezer.
• It is very important that the food is frozen as soon as possible. We recommended that the size of the package not be too large. It should also have been sufficiently cooled (at least to room temperature) before being loaded in your freezer.
• The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity).
• Food cut into small portions will be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is 2.5kg.
• The outside of a food packaging should be dry before being placed in the freezer. All packages should be odour-free and non-toxic.

A NOTE ON DEFROSTING

• Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be consumed as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy micro-organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting to make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
• Generally, you should NOT refreeze defrosted items.

Cleaning/Maintenance

LONG ABSENCES: In the case of long absences (extended holidays, sabbaticals, etc.), the appliance must be switched off, emptied out completely, dried and the doors left slightly open to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odours.

NOTE: Before attempting to clean your appliance, UNPLUG IT and make sure you do the following:

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR REFRIGERATOR ONCE A MONTH.

• Pay particular attention to the sealing rubber bars of the doors. These need to be kept clean for hygienic reasons as well as to allow the door to close properly.
• Leave the door open during cleaning.
• In order to collect the defrosted water, take out the bottom drawer and soak up the water using a sponge as shown in the figure pictured below.

Illustration of a server rack with heat sinks and a hand cleaning the rack (no text or symbols)

To accelerate the defrosting process, you can scrape off any frost that may have formed on the back coils using a plastic spatula. DO NOT USE A METAL ONE!!!!

- Clean the inside of your Freezer after using a solution of soda bicarbonate in warm water (1 tablespoon Bicarbonate to 2 litres of water).

- Clean the condenser (back of unit) with a broom once a year.

Never Use Solvents To Clean Your Freezer

MAINTENANCE FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL BULB. REMEMBER TO UNPLUG YOU APPLIANCE FIRST

Find the lamp housing in the top right of the refrigerator's interior.

Gently move the transparent lamp cover plate from the lamp cradle.

Unscrew the bulb and replace with a new one, maximum 10W.

HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER – the condenser consists of a coil structure at the back of your freezer.

To clean it, carefully follow the following instructions:

To optimize the operation of the appliance and to save energy you should periodically clean the dust from the condenser at the back of the appliance.

NOTE: You will be alerted to the presence of excessive amounts of dust on the condenser by a sound alarm.

Diagram of a device with an open panel and mechanical components, no visible text or symbols

Upon hearing this alarm, you should:

• Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings.
• If necessary, clean or vacuum the dust from the condenser. See the instructions below & on the next page.

To check if there is dust and clear dust away

1. If the air opening in the bottom rail of the fridge is dirty or dusty, you should clean or vacuum it (see the figure below).
2. Remove the bottom board of the unit cabinet.
3. Push a finger through the opening in the bottom rail and release the fastener.
4. Pull the rail towards you and remove it.
5. Pull the condenser dish out.
6. Use the vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from the condenser.
7. Replace the condenser dish & the bottom rail in the opposite order to taking them out.

Disconnect the freezer from the mains before you clean the condenser!

Defrosting

Tips for Energy Savings

PERIODIC CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER

1. Firstly, disconnect it from the mains.
2. Empty the contents of your freezer. You should take the necessary precautions to maintain any food items you wish to keep. Remember that it is a health hazard to allow frozen articles of food to thaw and then refreeze them. Wrap them in newspaper or some other insulation-giving wrapper and/or store them in another freezer.
3. Remove the appliance from the unit in which it is held.
4. Pull the appliance out so that you have access to the condenser at the rear of the freezer. NOTE - you must take care not to overbalance the appliance whilst moving it out - WARNING: - Tipping hazard.
5. Unscrew the screws that secure the bonnet at the back of the appliance. Remove the bonnet.
6. Clean the dust from and dirt from the condenser.
7. After replacing the bonnet, move the freezer back into the cabinet space.

When the frost and ice layer on the inside of the appliance has grown to 3-5 mm, you should defrost your freezer.

24 hours prior to defrosting, press the continuous operation mode button ('2' in diagram on page 7). This will provide an extra low temperature of food inside the freezer. After this period, take the food out & protect it from melting (eg. Moving it to another freezer &/or wrapping it in newspaper).

Disconnect the freezer from the mains power supply.

CAUTION!

• Avoid using defrosting sprays - these may damage the plastic parts in the fridge and could be hazardous to health.
• Water collected at the bottom of the interior of the freezer should be mopped with a sponge or a highly absorbent cloth.

Ensure that your freezer has adequate ventilation. See the cleaning and installation sections for the recommended openings you should observe.

Turn the thermostat from higher down to lower as soon as possible, depending on how full the freezer is and the ambient temperature.

Never use the continuous operation feature unnecessarily. Press the operation mode selection switch to the setting for automatic operation.

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, be sure to close it as soon as possible.

⚠️ Use higher thermostat settings only if essential and not for constant, long-term use.
Do not leave the appliance on Fast freeze indefinitely or for periods in excess of that recommended in this manual.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, ensure they are first cooled to the ambient temperature.
If the door seal (gasket) is damaged, the energy consumption will be much higher. To keep the sealing in good condition, be sure not to spill oils or fats on it. A damaged seal will need to be replaced. A crushed seal can be 'fl uffed' out using hot air from a hair dryer held at a safe distance.
The condenser at the bottom of the appliance must always be clean and free of dust.

NOTE - YOU NEED THE SPACES SHOWN AT LEFT TO INSTALL YOUR APPLIANCE.

Ensure there is sufficient space behind the cooling coils at the back of your Fridge

1) Ensure that you are going to be placing your fridge away from heat sources and in a well-ventilated position. This should be at least 3 cm away from electric stoves and 30 cm from oil or coal stoves. Do not place the appliance in the path of direct sunlight.
2) After removing the rear wall of the cabinet, push the appliance into the kitchen unit's space and allow at least 4mm free space on both sides between the appliance and the side walls of the kitchen unit (Fig.1, at right). Allow 38mm space between back of the fridge and the wall.
