This document provides a comprehensive guide for the SABA CB373NFDK refrigerator, covering its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The SABA CB373NFDK is a freestanding refrigerator designed for household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. It is not intended for catering or retail applications. The appliance features separate compartments for refrigeration and freezing, allowing for optimal food storage. It includes a display panel with temperature indicators for both compartments, quick cool and quick freeze icons, a vacation icon, and a lock icon. The refrigerator compartment has a temperature setting range of 2-8°C, while the freezer compartment ranges from -16°C to -24°C. The device is equipped with an automatic defrosting system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. A vacation mode is available, which turns off refrigeration and sets the freezer to -18°C, ideal for energy saving during prolonged absences.

Usage Features:
- Installation: The appliance should be placed on a flat, horizontal surface, ensuring at least 10cm clearance on the sides, back, and top for proper ventilation. It should not be installed near heat sources or in direct sunlight. After positioning, wait two to three hours before turning it on to allow the compressor system to settle.
- Temperature Control: The display panel allows users to adjust the temperature for both the refrigerating and freezing chambers. The refrigerating chamber temperature can be set between 2°C and 8°C, and the freezing chamber between -16°C and -24°C.
- Lock/Unlock Function: The display panel can be locked or unlocked by pressing and holding the super-cool/super-freezer button for 3 seconds. The appliance automatically locks after 30 seconds of inactivity.
- Vacation Mode: This mode can be activated or canceled by long-pressing the refrigeration temperature adjustment button for 3 seconds. In vacation mode, refrigeration is turned off, and the freezer is automatically set to -18°C.
- Food Storage:
- Refrigerator: Store fruits, vegetables, raw meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs in designated compartments. Cooked dishes should be cooled before placing them in the refrigerator.
- Freezer: This is a 4-star freezer suitable for freezing fresh food and storing pre-frozen food. Food should be wrapped tightly to prevent dehydration and odor transfer. Avoid putting hot or warm food directly into the freezer. Do not refreeze thawed food; consume it within 24 hours or cook it first.
- Energy Saving Tips:
- Avoid frequent or prolonged door openings.
- Ensure the door seals are clean and in good condition.
- Do not overfill the refrigerator or freezer; allow about 20% free space for air circulation.
- Cool cooked dishes before placing them inside.
- Defrost the freezer regularly if ice accumulation exceeds 5mm, as this increases energy consumption.
- Door Reversal: The door can be reversed from right-hand to left-hand opening. This process requires careful handling and is recommended to be performed by qualified personnel due to the risk of damaging the coolant system or losing small parts. Detailed steps are provided, including disconnecting signal cables and reattaching hinges and decorative covers.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning:
- Regular Cleaning: Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Remove all food, shelves, and drawers.
- Interior: Clean with a soft cloth or sponge using warm water and a mixture of bicarbonate of soda (1 teaspoon per 1.2 liters of water). Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Pay attention to difficult-to-clean areas like narrow gaps and corners.
- Exterior: Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or detergent, then dry.
- Door Gasket: Clean regularly with mild soap and water to ensure no debris affects its sealing properties.
- Avoid: Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasive cleaners, organic solvents (alcohol, acetone, banana oil), boiling water, or acidic/alkaline items, as these can damage surfaces and plastic parts. Do not rinse with water directly or use steam cleaners.
- Defrosting: The appliance features automatic defrosting, so manual defrosting is not required.
- Prolonged Off Periods: If the appliance will not be used for an extended time, unplug it, clean and dry the interior, and leave the door open to prevent odors and mold.
- LED Light Replacement: The LED light should not be replaced by the user. If damaged, contact an authorized service representative.
- Troubleshooting: Before calling for service, check common issues such as power supply, proper plug insertion, appliance levelness, door closure, and adequate airflow.
- Disposal: The appliance contains R600a refrigerant, which is flammable. Contact your local waste disposal department for proper disposal methods. Old appliances should not be discarded with municipal waste but collected separately for recycling, in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE).
