Switching On The Appliance And Setting The Thermostat - Baumatic BR180SS Instruction Manual

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 dial is located on the right
hand side of the fridge section.
o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the fridge freezer, depending on what number you have turned
the thermostat dial to.
o If you set the thermostat dial below position <1>, then the
appliance will not cool, but the internal light will still function.
o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the fridge
freezer.
o Position <5> will give you a lower temperature inside the fridge
freezer.
o Ideally the thermostat should be set to position <3>.
o The fridge section can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6
degrees centigrade.
o The freezer section can cool down to -18°C and lower.
o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the fridge freezer and how often the
door is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o On the maximum setting (position <5>), your fridge freezer will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no need
to run your appliance at this setting for prolonged periods.
Unless you are freezing fresh food, you should have the
thermostat knob set to <3>.
o IMPORTANT: Do not run the thermostat above position <4>,
otherwise the defrost drainage hole will freeze.
o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
reconnecting it to your mains supply.
