H8-420-03-01Ä General NO FROST appliances The need to supply consumer appliances which fulfil the requirements of the most modern criteria in food storage and which make optimum use of the available space has led to the development of the NO FROST refrigeration and freezing technology.
H8-420-03-01Ä Methods of refrigeration At Küppersbusch we distinguish between 3 types of refrigeration: Static refrigeration Refrigeration by means of an evaporator, where the air flow factor is not increased by the auxiliary device. With static refrigeration we depend on the normal circulation of air inside the appliance. Dynamic refrigeration The air is moved around the refrigeration cavity by means of a ventilator.
H8-420-03-01Ä NO FROST fridge-freezers With NO FROST appliances we distinguish between models with only one compressor and models with separate cooling circuits which have two compressors. All NO FROST appliances with a refrigeration unit belonging to the Küppersbusch family of domestic appliances are characterised by the same thermo-dynamic design.
Page 8
H8-420-03-01Ä In addition to the NO FROST fridge-freezer appliances with one cooling unit, KÜPPERSBUSCH also manufactures models with two compressors. These are appliances with a capacity of 300 l and with 3 or 5 doors. These models have two different cooling circuits. The refrigerator section operates by means of cyclical cooling with one cooling unit and separate temperature adjustment.
H8-420-03-01Ä Installation and connection Dry, well ventilated rooms present the best conditions for installing the fridge-freezers. In order to keep electricity consumption low, the appliances should not be installed next to a cooker or a radiator. Avoid direct sunlight. When installed in a kitchen, fridge-freezers are arranged to fit in with normal work routines. It must be ensured that the direction in which the door opens is the right one for the type of work carried out in the kitchen.

H8-420-03-01Ä Multi-zone appliances enable the customer to make use of 3 refrigeration zones for optimum storage of all types of food. The refrigeration sections in detail: Refrigeration section A: Here an ideal environment is created for the storage of fresh food. This section employs an evaporator made of an integrated aluminium sheet and the temperature is controlled by means of an adjustable thermostat on the operation panel.

H8-420-03-01Ä Air circulation Freezer section: the air produced by the battery-driven evaporator is put into circulation by the fan, which is located above the battery. The air flows into the right-hand compartment of the freezer and flows out again through two slits. The temperature is controlled by the thermostat bulb which can be seen installed right above the battery.

H8-420-03-01Ä Defroster resistor - Battery evaporator Unscrew the screws fastening the evaporator to the rear wall of the freezer section. If it should be necessary to push the battery evaporator towards the front, press on the suction pipe from the back. The heating resistor is inserted into the hollow grooves of the battery blades.
H8-420-03-01Ä Accessibility of the component parts (IK 458-4-4T) 3.9.1 Freezer section Proceed as follows in order to access the freezer section component parts: Turn the fastening devices as shown in the illustration and remove the baskets from the holders. Remove the three screws of the back panel and remove it sideways. For internal use only...
H8-420-03-01Ä 3.9.2 Removing the control panel Proceed as follows in order to access the control panel component parts: Secure the switches of the interior lighting lamps in the lower and upper parts of the control panel. To do so, press the switches and turn them 45°. Remove the 5 screws with which the control panel cover is fastened.
H8-420-03-01Ä 3.9.5 Timer The timer is located in the casing on the right bottom corner of the appliance (under the lower hinge of the right-hand door of the freezer). Use a screw driver to turn the camshaft (clockwise only) in order to switch over the switch for contacts 3-4 and 3-2.
H8-420-03-01Ä If the timer shaft is turned clockwise with a screwdriver, two engaging sounds will be heard. These indicate that the contacts have been closed. As seen in the illustration (the position indicated in which the engaging sounds can be heard is not an exact position), there is a minimal distance between the first engaging sound and the second sound, while the distance between the second and the first engaging is longer: Please note:...
H8-420-03-01Ä 3.10 Installation 3.10.1 Adjusting the height The appliance can be adapted to the height of the other kitchen units since the height can be set at 820 mm or at 870 mm. Prior to installing the appliance, set the height of the rear wheels and feet. The initial height is set at 820 mm.

H8-420-03-01Ä Tighten the screws and remove those in the vertical long hole. Check the vertical positioning of the front panels and adjust if necessary. Ensure that the front panels are level by loosening the screws of the inserts and using the compensation devices provided for this purpose.
H8-420-03-01Ä 3.10.3 Installing the appliance Position the appliance as intended. Fasten it to the wall with an angle provided especially for this purpose. Do not cover the top of the appliance in order to enable the air to circulate better. Should a kitchen unit be installed above the appliance, it is to be fastened 50 mm from the wall and the distance to the ceiling must be at least 50 mm.
H8-420-03-01Ä 3.10.4 Attaching the base Height adjustment H = 820 For a base of 140 to 170 mm, make an opening as shown.
