IMPORTANT: If your freezer appears not to be
operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic
Service Department, please refer to the checklist
below.
What to do
Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket.
Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there
hasn't been a power cut or that the fuse hasn't blown).
Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has not been turned
to the off position.
Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the voltage
stated on the rating plate of your appliance.
Check that the appliance isn't overloaded and that food hasn't been
packed too tightly into it.
The thermostat setting is too low; you should turn the thermostat up
higher.
Ensure that the door is closing properly and that the door has not
been opened for a prolonged period in error.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your appliance.
The ambient temperature is too high.
Frequent opening of the door/door is open for too long.
Door not closed properly
An excessive quantity of fresh food has been inserted at once.
Check that there is suffi cient ventilation around the appliance.
The refrigerator sensor (A) has fresh food crammed around it. Free
the sensor and allow air to circulate around it.
The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance
may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running.
If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder than normal;
check that it is leveled off correctly, that nothing is touching the rear
of the fridge and that nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling.
Check that food has not been pushed too far back inside the
appliance, so that it is in contact with the inner back wall.
Frequent opening of the door/door is open for too long.
Door not closed properly, check the door gasket is sealing correctly.
Hot food has been placed inside the refrigerator.
Follow the "Defrosting the refrigerator compartment" section on
page 20-21.
