Regulations, Standards, Guidelines

This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured

in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures

in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), acci-

dent prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20) and

the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE)

were observed in the manufacture of this appliance.

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.

;

This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines:

– 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines.

– 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989

(including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline

• Refrigerant

Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as

refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low,

that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can

cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.

• Refrigerant Circuit

Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refri-

gerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a

condenser and pipe work.

• Evaporator

The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other

liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed

from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled.

The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in

foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.

• Compressor

The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in elec-

tric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear.

The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from

the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.

• Condenser

The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant com-

pressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this

process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the

condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
