3.0 Description of the appliance

The CN(es) ..03 is a combined refrigerator-freezer with a NoFrost freezer compartment. The appliance has a
compressor. The refrigerator and freezer compartment evaporator is activated via a bi-stable solenoid valve.
Both evaporators are connected in series (see 3.3 Schematic diagram: Refrigerating circuit).
Therefore the refrigerator compartment can be operated only in conjunction with the freezer compartment.
However, it is possible to operate the freezer compartment on its own.

3.1 Refrigerator compartment:

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a foamed-in evaporator and an evaporator sensor. The sensor is
separately replaceable.
The evaporator sensor is responsible for switching off the refrigeration, sees to the defrosting of the refrigerator
compartment evaporator and switches the refrigeration on.
A fan is optionally activatable for even temperature distribution.

Only CN(es)

Fig. 3.1 Schematic diagram

refrigerator compartment

3.2 NoFrost freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is equipped with a NoFrost rear wall evaporator module, fan module, air sensor and
evaporator sensor. Both sensors are separately replaceable. The defrosting phases are initiated by way of the
electronic control system, taking compressor running time and door openings into account.

Defrosting: The defrosting phase is started:

- During start-up after 6 hours cumulative compressor running time.
- After a cumulative compressor running time of 12 to a maximum of
60 hours, depending on the number/duration of the door openings.
When the defrosting phase begins, the compressor and the fan are switched off
and the defrosting heater is switched on.
The defrosting heater remains switched on until:
- the evaporator has reached +5C or
- 50 minutes have elapsed.
After the end of the heating phase, the compressor is switched on with a
10 minute delay.
If the SuperFrost function is activated during the defrosting phase, this will not
interrupt defrosting.

Foamed in water drain, water drain valve can be drawn off for cleaning
purposes
(see 7.2.4 Assembly instructions water drain valve).

SuperFrost: Cooling of freezer compartment to -37C (65 hours).

6.0 Special features

6.1 Solenoid valve
6.1.1 Electrical actuation of the solenoid valve
With this model a bi-stable solenoid valve is used. This means that after actuation the solenoid valve maintains
the respective switching state.

To sum up:
To check actuation of the solenoid valve, we recommend using the service menu (see 9.3 Service mode "L" ).
Here the switching of the solenoid valve can be clearly heard.
