Important Technical Specifications

Dimensions and Installation: The refrigerator's dimensions are crucial for proper installation. The manual specifies clearances required around the appliance: at least 50-70mm from the back wall, 100mm from the top, and 100mm from the sides. For optimal performance and energy efficiency, it's recommended to maintain these clearances to allow for proper heat dissipation. The appliance is designed to operate within specific climate classes (SN, N, ST, T), indicating the ambient temperature ranges for which it is suitable. For example, SN is +10°C to +32°C, N is +16°C to +32°C, ST is +16°C to +38°C, and T is +16°C to +43°C.

Refrigerant: The refrigerator uses isobutene (R600a) as a refrigerant. R600a is a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility and is non-flammable under normal operating conditions. However, users are warned about the flammability of the refrigerant and gases, emphasizing the importance of professional handling during maintenance or disposal to prevent eye injuries or ignition. Any damage to the refrigerant circuit tubing could lead to fire hazards.

Electrical Safety: The appliance operates on a single-phase alternating current of 220-240V/50Hz. Users are advised to ensure the power cord is not damaged or crushed and to avoid using multi-portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance. The power plug must be securely inserted into the main socket.

Storage Capacity: While specific volume capacities are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the manual implies ample storage with multiple shelves, drawers, and door racks in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The water storage box for the ice maker/dispenser has a suggested volume of 4.5L.

Freezer: Allows temperature adjustment for the freezer compartment. Continuous pressing cycles through temperatures from -14°C to -24°C. A "Super Freeze" mode can be activated by pressing and holding the "Freezer" button for 3 seconds, setting the freezer to -24°C for 6 hours to rapidly freeze food.
Fridge: Allows temperature adjustment for the refrigerator compartment. Continuous pressing cycles through temperatures from 8°C to 2°C. A "Super Cool" mode can be activated by pressing and holding the "Fridge" button for 3 seconds, setting the refrigerator to 2°C for 3 hours to rapidly cool food.
Eco: Activates an energy-saving mode. When active, the " " icon illuminates.
Holiday: Activates a "Holiday" mode for extended absences. When active, the " " icon illuminates, and the refrigerator automatically sets to 15°C and the freezer to -18°C to minimize energy consumption. The ice maker is automatically turned off in this mode. Users are warned not to store food in the refrigerator during "Holiday" mode.

Water and Ice Dispenser: The appliance includes a water and ice dispenser. Users can choose between "Cubed" or "Crushed" ice by touching the respective buttons. The dispenser is designed to prevent spills. If the water storage box is not installed correctly or if there's insufficient water, the dispenser may not function properly.

Door Adjustment: The manual provides detailed instructions for adjusting the refrigerator and freezer doors to ensure proper alignment and sealing. This involves loosening and tightening bolts and nuts on the hinges.

Ice Bucket Removal and Installation: Instructions are provided for removing and installing the ice bucket, which is essential for cleaning or if the ice maker is not functioning correctly.
