ELECTRICAL SAFETY                
• 
NOTE - This appliance must be grounded.  In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, 
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance of 
electrical current.  You will be able to tell if it is because a non-grounded appliance will give off 
an electrical discharge.    Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-
grounding of appliance. 
• DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD ONLY BAUMATIC SERVICE ENGINEERS OR AN AUTHORISED AGENT OF 
BAUMATIC SHOULD CARRY OUT REPAIRS ON THIS UNIT. 
• DO NOT USE IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED.  NEVER TAKE RISKS WITH FIRE!  
ƒ ENSURE YOU CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A SUPPLY RATED AT 220-240V (or 200-230V) and 50HZ. 
ƒ NOTE: the supporting structure is constructed in panels of treated sheet steel, electrostatically 
enamelled to resist ill-treatment and to give long-lasting beauty and shine.  
 
: Do not attempt to alter the specifications of 
this appliance.  Doing so could damage the 
machine, cause injury & invalidate your 
warranty. DO NOT USE ADAPTERS/SHUNTS. 
: Do not allow children to play with, near or 
inside this appliance.  
: Do not pull on the power supply cable to 
free the plug from the wall! 
: Do not attempt to use your appliance 
outdoors or any place where it is likely to 
come into contact with the elements.  
: Do not pull out or insert the plug with wet 
hands. 
: Before any cleaning or maintenance work, 
ensure that the appliance has been 
disconnected from the power supply. 
 
 
  
: Never allow the back coils of the Appliance to 
come into contact with any wall surface.  
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE SPACE INTO 
WHICH YOU ARE PLACING YOUR APPLIANCE IS 
FREE OF STORED ITEMS SUCH AS PAPERS OR 
OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. 
: NEVER block the VENTILATION OPENINGS OF THE 
APPLIANCE EITHER INSIDE OR ON ITS EXTERIOR.  
IT IS VITAL TO KEEP YOUR APPLIANCE WELL 
VENTILATED SO THAT THERE IS PROPER AIR FLOW 
BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT AND THE 
PLINTH / KICK PLATE ON WHICH IT IS SITTING. 
: WARNING – DO NOT DAMAGE THE REFRIGERANT 
CIRCUIT.  AT THE END OF THE FUNCTIONAL LIFE 
OF THE EQUIPMENT (WHICH USES COOLING GAS 
R600o [ISOBUTANE]) AND INFLAMMABLE GAS 
INSIDE THE INSULATING FOAM, IT MUST BE 
PLACED IN SAFETY BEFORE SENDING IT FOR 
PROPER WASTE DISPOSAL. 
 
PLEASE OBSERVE ALL INSTALLATION ADVICE IN THIS MANUAL FOR 
SAFE USAGE OF YOUR APPLIANCE. 
 
 
 Note:  Before discarding an old refrigerator/freezer, switch off and disconnect it 
from the power supply.  Cut off and render any plug useless.  Ensure that the door 
cannot jam (removing it is best), regardless of whether or not it can be pushed open 
from inside. AN OLD FRIDGE/FREEZER CAN BE A DEADLY PLAYTHING FOR CHILDREN!

Your BR11.2A Built-under 
Fridge with Icebox: 
 
 
  KEY 
  
 
A 
 1 SHELF: The shelves may be 
placed in any of the guide slots 
within the interior of the 
appliance.  They are protected 
from sliding out. 
To remove a shelf
, simply lift the 
front of the shelf and carefully 
pull it out of the grooves. 
Quickly perishable food should be 
stored at the back (the coldest 
part of your refrigerator). 
 
2 DEFROST WATER OUTLET 
The interior of the fridge is cooled 
with the cooling plate at the rear 
wall.  Beneath this, there is a 
channel and an outlet for 
defrosted water.  It is important that this channel is never clogged.  
Use a plastic straw to clear away 
any dirt. 
 
3 CRISPER TRAY & SERVING TRAY 
The crisper tray at the bottom of 
your refrigerator is covered by the 
serving tray.  This cover protects 
fruit and vegetables stored within 
from drying out. 
 
Note that the door liner holds various 
shelves containing holders for storing 
eggs, cheese, butter and yoghourt, as 
well as smaller packages, tubes, cans, 
etc.  The lower door shelf is used for 
storing bottles.

UPON DELIVERY:  
  
When your Fridge has been delivered, you will need to 
wait approximately 2 hours
 before turning it on.  The fluid 
of the compressor installed in the appliance will need 
time to settle.  PLEASE DO NOT PLUG IN ANY EARLIER 
THAN THIS! 
 
 
NOTE: 
 THERE CAN BE AN ODOUR WHEN 
YOU FIRST SWITCH ON THE 
APPLIANCE.  IT WILL VANISH 
WHEN THE UNIT STARTS 
COOLING. 
 
 
We recommend that you 
have the Fridge delivered 
near to where you plan to 
install it so that this fluid 
can settle.  
  
 
 
 
 
SITUATING YOUR FRIDGE 
 
 
CAUTION:  DO NOT PLACE THE APPLIANCE NEAR HEAT SOURCES 
AND FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION ADVICE SHOWN ON PAGE 16. 
 
 
 
FOR FULL INSTALLATION ADVICE, PLEASE SEE PAGE 16    
MAKE A NOTE OF THE LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW FRIDGE.  MAKE SURE THAT 
IT WILL FIT PROPERLY SO THAT: 
 
1) The doors can open freely and completely. 
2) You can access your food conveniently. 
3) There is sufficient space at the back for the cooling coils to 
give off heat safely & that they do not touch the plug (see SAFETY 
SECTION). 
 
 
NOTE:  You can reverse the swing of the door to customise the unit to 
your location. Please see page 19 for details. 
NOTE:  BEFORE Using your BR11.2A FRIDGE:

YOU SWITCH ON YOUR APPLIANCE by 
PLUGGING IT IN & 
SETTING THE 
THERMOSTAT 
inside the Fridge at 
the upper right-
hand side: 
  
 Your Fridge’s thermostat automatically regulates the inside 
temperature of the compartments.  By rotating the thermostat knob 
from a low to a higher number position, colder temperatures can be 
obtained.   
 
 
 Refrigerator Thermostat setting    
 
Note:  Turning the knob setting towards 7 will make all 
the compartments of your fridge colder.  Because the 
interior temperature may dip below 0
°C, you should not 
leave your fridge on this setting for long periods.   
 
Settings 3-5:  Use these mid-settings for longer storage 
of food in the fridge = mid-coldness.  Settings below this 
will give a milder coldness to the interior of the fridge.   
 
0:  This setting will make the fridge STOP (the cool 
system is deactivated), although the light will still 
function.   
 
 
 
REMINDER: On the maximum setting, your 
fridge will work harder to maintain this low 
temperature.  So, after you reach this 
temperature, you should turn the knob to a 
milder setting (depending on long or short-
term storage intentions).

Reminder:  Allow the unit time to settle after 
delivery.  If your plug and power socket are now 
behind the fridge and you still need to move the 
unit into place, be especially careful.  Remember 
to leave a safe distance between the back of the 
fridge and the wall or rear of the unit cabinet. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
o You switch your fridge OFF by turning the 
thermostat knob to position ‘0’. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE: When you first switch on the appliance, 
 allow 24 hours for it to cool down to the desired 
temperature.  During this time, DO NOT open the 
door often or place a lot of food inside the unit. 
 
 
 
 
 
WARNING!  If the appliance is switched off 
then switched back on again after a short 
period, the compressor will start up again 
after approximately half-an-hour.  This is 
part of the normal operation of the appliance.

• 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. 
 
• Make sure that you arrange food 
in such a way that the door can 
close completely.  Be especially 
wary of protruding items 
between shelves and the inside 
of the door, such as bottles. 
 
 
• NEVER place warm food inside 
the refrigerator.  Warm food 
must be allowed to cool at room 
temperature.  It should then be 
arranged to ensure adequate air 
circulation in the refrigerator 
compartment. 
 
• DO NOT ALLOW anything to 
touch the refrigerator’s back 
wall as it will cause frost.  Also, 
packaging, especially paper, can 
stick to it and spoil.   
 
• Crispy / delicate foods should be 
stored in the coldest parts of 
the fridge. 
 
 
 
• DO NOT open the 
refrigerator door too often 
or leave it open for long 
spells of time. 
 
• ARRANGE meat and cleaned 
fish (wrapped in packages or 
sheets of plastic) which you 
will then use within 1-2 
days. 
 
 
• You can put fruits and 
vegetables into the crisper 
without packing them. 
 
• Use the egg holders provided 
in the door space to store 
your eggs. 
 
 
• Unpleasant odours within 
may mean your fridge needs 
cleaning or that food has 
spoiled.  
 
• If you are planning on being 
away from your refrigerator 
for a few days (such as going 
on holiday), make sure that 
you remove quickly 
perishable articles of food 
from your fridge before you 
go and dispose of them. 
 
• Be careful when buying 
frozen food that the 
packaging is not sodden or 
covered in snow.
