SPECIFICATIONS OF YOUR LARDER FRIDGE
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
NOTE:
Image is for reference only and may differ from your product.
The most energy-saving configuration requires drawers, food box and
shelves to be positioned in the product, please refer to the above pictures
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT FEATURES
1) Shelves
o
The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the
interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out.
o
To 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
o
The 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.
o
It is important that this channel never becomes clogged (see "The
defrost drain hole" section for a detailed explanation of how to keep
the channel clear).
3) Crisper (salad) drawers and cover
o
The crisper drawers are in the bottom of your refrigerator and
there is a cover that goes over them.
o
The cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from
drying out prematurely.
4) Dairy shelf (door rack)
o
The dairy shelf is suitable for storing eggs, cheese and yogurt. As
well as smaller packages, tubes, cans etc.
5) Bottle shelf (bottle door rack)
o The lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized bottles.
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE SHELVES THAT SIT IN
THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR
WORKING LIFE.
USING YOUR LARDER FRIDGE
Before switching on
o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per
the information contained in Baumatic's installation instructions.
o
After 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.
o
The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
o
The 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.
o
There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
o
You should set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24
hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.
o
When 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.
o
During this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
o
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal
operating position.
o
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
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply
and setting the thermostat. The thermostat control knob is located on
the right hand side of the fridge.
o
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
of the fridge, depending on what number you have turned the
thermostat control knob to:-
o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However the
light will still function.
o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside of the fridge.
o Position <6> will give you a lower temperature inside of the fridge.
o Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position of between <3> to <4>.
o
Your refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between 4 –
6 degrees centigrade.
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of
the 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.
o
On the maximum setting (position <6>), your fridge will work
harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase the energy
usage. There is no need to run your appliance on this setting for
prolonged periods and you should return the thermostat knob to
between <3> to <4>.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the appliance with the thermostat above
number 5 in normal usage otherwise the defrost drain hole will freeze.
