THERE CAN BE AN ODOUR WHEN YOU FIRST SWITCH ON THE APPLIANCE. IT WILL VANISH 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE THE APPLIANCE NEAR HEAT SOURCES AND FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION ADVICE SHOWN ON PAGE 20.
FOR FULL INSTALLATION ADVICE, PLEASE SEE PAGE 20
MAKE A NOTE OF THE LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW 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 page 23-24 for details.
USING your Baumatic BV12.2A Freezer
YOU SWITCH ON YOUR APPLIANCE by PLUGGING IT IN & SETTING THE THERMOSTAT DIAL. This can be found on the control panel at the top left of the front of the interior of the appliance. NOTE: You adjust settings by turning a coin in the dial's groove.
THE CONTROL PANEL
The freezer is controlled with switches and the thermostat button. It is shown below:
1 Red control light
2 Yellow control light
3 Thermostat knob
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. The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off.
Your freezer will operate on 'Automatic Operation' as long as the dial on the control panel is set between 'min' and 'max' and NOT 'SUPER'.
NOTE: 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.
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).
USING YOUR FREEZER
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
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. & min.
We recommend setting the thermostat on a position approaching maximum only to accelerate cooling (e.g., before loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the operation mode has risen to the ambient temperature; for example, the first time you use your appliance).
○ Thermostat settings towards minimum help you save energy, provided that the freezer is loaded with a smaller amount of frozen foods.
- ‘Super’ is a fast freeze function only and should not be used as a long-term setting.
○ Changes in the ambient temperature will affect the temperature in the interior of the appliance.
○ Choose the correct setting using the thermostat dial (pictured below).
USING YOUR FREEZER
STARTING YOUR FREEZER FOR THE FIRST TIME (\* after it has been installed)
▶ Switch the freezer on.
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, move the thermostat dial to ‘super’ (the continuous operation mode - see page 7). The yellow lamp will come 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, turn the dial down from the ‘super’ setting. This will deactivate the continued operation mode so that the freezer switches to its automatic operation (yellow light turns off).
- If you want to freeze small quantities of fresh food (1-2kg), you DON'T have to switch the appliance to 'super' - 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.
POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN USING YOUR FREEZER
- 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 fizzy 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 shorter 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.
USING YOUR FREEZER
- NEVER place warm food inside the freezer. Warm food must be allowed to cool to room temperature first.
- 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.
USING YOUR FREEZER
- 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 recommend 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 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:
√ Pay particular attention to the sealing rubber bars of the doors. This is known as the seal. 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.
√ Clean the inside of your Freezer after using a solution of soda bicarbonate in warm water (1 tablespoon Bicarbonate to 2 litres of water) or warm water and some vinegar.
√ Clean the exterior surfaces of the freezer with water and liquid detergent. NOTE: Varnished surfaces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and an alcohol-based cleaning agent (for example, glass cleaners). You may use alcohol (ethanol or isophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive and especially aggressive cleaners, such as stainless steel cleaners is not appropriate for cleaning plastic and coated parts.
√ Clean the condenser (back of unit) with a broom once a year.
NEVER USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
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.
CAUTION: You will need to move your freezer forward from its cabinet housing to gain access to the condenser at the rear of your appliance.
natural_image
Illustration of a hand cleaning a metal rack with a circular object (no text or symbols)After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the mains supply and put the food packages back to their place.
1) Carefully move the freezer forward from its cabinet housing until the condenser coil structure at the rear of the appliance is visible.
2) Use a soft non-metal brush, broom or vacuum cleaner to clear dust away from the condenser.
3) Replace the freezer properly in its cabinet housing when finished and make sure that the décor door has been properly reattached.
REMINDER: Disconnect the freezer from the mains before you clean the condenser!
DEFROSTING
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, turn the thermostat dial to 'Super'. This will activate the continuous operation mode and will provide an extra low temperature for 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 thermal insulating material that is safe for foods).
natural_image
Simple line drawing of a mechanical device with a rotating shaft and base plate, connected to diagonal lines (no text or symbols)Disconnect the freezer from the mains power supply.
Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove at the bottom of the appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect defrosted water (see figure at left).
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.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
√ 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. Unless you intend to 'fast freeze' something, keep the dial off 'super'.
√ 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 'fluffed' 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.
Mounting Dimensions and Required Air Circulation
The rear wall of the appliance is getting warm during the operation of the appliance (and water is evaporating from the drain pan on the compressor). You must therefore provide for adequate air circulation on the rear of the appliance.
- At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should be at least 200~cm^2 free space, for adequate air circulation.
- On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover the opening for the outflow air.
