o
Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw before you place them in your freezer. This will
shorten the length of time that you can safely store the food for.
Defrosting frozen food
o
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible.
o
Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy the micro organisms which rapidly activate themselves
after defrosting and make foods perishable.
o
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.
Making ice cubes
o
Remove the cap from the ice cube tray (15) and fill it to the indicating
mark with cold water or some other liquid, suitable for freezing.
o
o
Close it and place it in the freezer door shelf (14). The ice tray can produce 8 cubes.
o
The period required for ice to form is 2-6 hours. It is recommended to make a quantity of ice, prior to the
time that you require it.
o
Ice cubes are discharged from the tray by turning the tray upside down and placing it under cold running
water.
o
Shake the tray, open the cover and pour the ice out.
Freezer alarm
o
If the appliance senses an excessive rise in temperature in the freezer section, the warning alarm neon (17)
will flash and an audible signal will sound.
o
If the warning alarm neon lights and the audible signal sounds, then you should check that the temperature
for the freezer section is set to an appropriate level (i.e. at least -18°C).
o
If the temperature for the freezer section IS set appropriately, then you should contact the Baumatic Service
Department.
o
The audible alarm can be cancelled by pressing the warning alarm off button (16).
o
The alarm will sound every 24 hours, if the temperature in the freezer is still not low enough to safely store
food.
o
The light goes off automatically when the freezer cools to a temperature where there is no longer a danger to
the food being stored in the appliance.
o
When the appliance is first switched on, there is an inbuilt 24 hour delay to the freezer alarm switching on.
This will prevent the alarm triggering unnecessarily whilst the appliance is getting down to working
temperature.
