Technical description
The device is a mini fridge with absorption cooling. Ammonia is used as the refriger-
ant. All materials used are compatible for use with foodstuffs. The refrigerant circuit
is maintenance-free.
The mini fridge is available as freestanding version (FS) and as built-in version (BI).
The freestanding version is intended for freestanding use. The cooling unit cover
protects the warm parts of the cooling units. The foot frame with ventilation openings
ensure sufficient ventilation. By removing the foot frame and cooling unit cover the
mini fridge can be used as a built-in version.
The built-in version is intended to be mounted into furniture. It does not have a
foot frame or cooling unit cover.
The temperature is set using the thermostatic control on the inside of the mini fridge.
The electronics checks the mini fridge's function after every defrosting phase by
measuring the evaporator temperature drop. If it registers a problem it shuts down
the mini fridge and the interior light flashes continuously.
The mini fridge is equipped with an automatic defrosting function. Each defrosting
phase lasts 2 hours. 39 hours after switching on the cooling device, the first defrost-
ing phase starts. After that, every 22 hours a defrosting phase is performed.
The defrost water is run through a drain tube from the drip channel to an evaporator
vessel at the mini fridge's bottom rear. The defrost water evaporates automatically
into the circulating air so that the vessel does not need to be emptied.
Two door sensors check whether the door is open.
