Positioning 
 
o It is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location 
where the ambient temperature of  the room, corresponds with 
the climate classification that is st ated on the rating plate of your 
appliance. Your appliance may not function correctly if the 
ambient temperature falls outs ide of the following ranges. 
 
Climate classification Appropriate ambient temperature 
SN +10 to +32 degrees centigrade 
N +16 to +32 degrees centigrade 
ST +18 to +38 degrees centigrade 
T +18 to +43 degrees centigrade 
 
o Positioning the appliance requires  two people in order to avoid 
injuries or damage to the appliance. 
 
o  Your appliance should not be located in direct sunlight or 
exposed to continuous heat or extremes of temperature (e.g. 
next to a radiator or boiler). If  this is not feasible, then you 
should install an insulation pl ate between the appliance and the 
adjacent heat source. 
 
o  You should check whether there is  an electrical socket available, 
which will be accessible after your appliance is installed. 
 
o  Place the appliance flatly and  firmly on a solid base. The 
appliance is fitted with adjustable  feet on the front side, which 
can be used to level the appliance. 
 
o  Anything positioned above the a ppliance must be at least 15 cm 
away to allow sufficient cooling of the condenser. You must allow 
a 5 cm gap to the rear and either side of the appliance. 
 
o  If you are placing another cooling appliance next door to this 
product, then there must be a gap of at least 2cm between the 
appliances. This will help to prev ent condensation from forming. 
 
o Be sure to leave enough space  for the opening of the door, to 
avoid damage to the appliance or personal injury.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
						

							
Reversing the doors 
 
 
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have enough room    
to lay the appliance on its back, without 
damaging or breaking the condenser coils on the 
rear of the fridge freezer.  
 
You should also ensure that ther e are no sharp or hard objects 
on the floor in this area.  
 
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER 
SUPPLY BEFORE COMMENCING THE DOOR REVERSAL PROCESS. 
 
CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THIS PROCESS WILL REQUIRE TWO 
PEOPLE TO COMPLETE IT.   
 
You must disassemble the lowe r door first (freezer) and 
then the upper door (fridge).
 Any parts that you remove 
from the appliance whilst reversing the door, should be 
retained for later use. 
 
 
1) Lay the appliance on its back.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2) Remove the plinth 
beneath the bottom door 
by gently pulling it away 
from the fridge freezer 
cabinet. 
 
3) Using a star-headed 
screwdriver, unscrew the 
lower hinge assemblies 
(left and right) and lift 
them out of their sockets. 
 
 
 
 
  22
 
						

							
4) Move the pin and washer that connect to the right hand hinge,  
from the right hand hole to the left hand hole. 
 
5) Remove the lower door by gently 
sliding it downwards, away from the main 
body of the fridge freezer. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
6) Using a star-headed screwdriver, unscrew 
the middle hinge and lift it out of its socket.

7) Carefully slide the u
door from the upper hinge 
pin  (K) and then using a
star head screwdriv
unscrew the top hinge 
cover  (A) and sensor 
cover  (B). 
 
8) Using a star-headed 
screwdriver, unscrew the 
upper hinge and screw it 
onto the opposite side of 
the cabinet from its 
original position. 
 
9) Screw the top hinge cover and 
sensor cover back to the opposite 
side of the cabinet from their original 
positions.  IMPORTANT:  You should 
make sure that the position of the 
upper pin hinge lines up exactly with 
the hinge hole in the top of the upper 
door. 
 
 
 
 
 
						

							
10) Reattach the upper door to the hinge pin. IMPORTANT: The door 
must be supported from the underneath until step 15 has been 
completed. The upper door MUST NO T be allowed to hang loose whilst 
steps 10-15 are being followed. We recommend that one person 
supports the door, whilst the othe r person completes the steps 
outlined below. 
 
11) Using a small flat-headed screwdriver, prise 
the covering caps from the hole in the middle of 
the cabinet. Place them in the holes that have 
been left by the removal of the middle hinge. 
 
12) Invert the middle hinge and carefully place the 
hinge pin into the bottom hole of the upper door. 
 
13) Firmly secure the middle hinge assembly to the cabinet using the 
screws that you removed previously.  The holes contain insulation foam 
which can be easily bored into. 
 
14) Ensure that the upper door is  level, and make sure that it can 
open and shut easily, without fouling against the cabinet. 
 
15) Reconnect the lower door, taking  care to ensure that the top pin 
fits securely into its socket. 
 
16) Reattach the bottom hinges, maki ng sure that lower hinge pin and 
washers are located on the opposite si de of the cabinet to their original 
position. Take care to ensure that  the lower hinge pin fits into the 
socket properly. 
 
17) Ensure that all hole co vering caps are replaced. 
 
IMPORTANT: Check that bo th the upper and lower 
doors open and shut correctly, without fouling, after 
you have completed the door reversal process.

Troubleshooting 
 
IMPORTANT: If your fridge freezer appears not to be 
operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic 
Service Department, please refer to the checklist 
below.
 
 
My fridge freezer does not appear to be working/there 
is no power to my appliance. 
 
o  Check that the plug is fully in serted into the power socket. 
o Check that there is power to yo ur mains supply (e.g. that there 
hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown). 
o  Check that the thermostat insi de the appliance has not been 
turned to the COOL ING OFF position. 
o Check that your mains supply  voltage, corresponds to the 
voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance. 
 
My fridge freezer appears to be performing poorly 
 
 
o  Check that the appliance isn’t ov erloaded and that food hasn’t 
been packed too tightly into it. 
o  The thermostat setting is t oo low; you should turn the 
thermostat up higher. 
o  Ensure that the door is closing  properly and that the door has 
not been left open for a prolonged period in error. 
o  Ensure that there is adequate  ventilation for your appliance. 
 
My fridge freezer is noisy 
 
 
o The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance 
may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running. 
o If the noise worsens or the app liance gets louder than normal; 
check that it is leveled off correc tly, that nothing is touching the 
rear of the fridge freezer and that nothing placed inside the 
appliance is rattling. 
 
Ice has formed on the inner back wall of the fridge, or 
there is water in the  base of the fridge.  
 
 
o Check that food has not been pu shed too far back inside the 
appliance, so that it is in contact with  the inner back wall.
