  • Page 9 USING your Baumatic BF344 FRIDGE-FREEZER: Your Fridge-Freezer’s thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments.

  • Page 10: Refrigerator Compartment

    ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER Refrigerator Compartment • To reduce humidity and the consequent increase of frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator. In time, the unit will need more frequent defrosting if too much humidity develops inside it.

    CLEANING / MAINTENANCE NOTE: Before attempting to clean your Fridge-Freezer, UNPLUG IT and make sure you do the following: Remove the baskets and the ice-cube tray. Leave the door open.
