3.0 Description of appliance

The CBNes 6256 is a combined refrigerator-BioFresh-freezer with a NoFrost freezer compartment. The
appliance has two compressors.

The refrigerator compartment and BioFresh compartment are cooled using a freely suspended rear wall
evaporator. A DC fan is used for temperature balance between refrigerator compartment and BioFresh
compartment. The fan is sited on the back of the evaporator cover.

If the refrigerator compartment has to be cooled (detection by refrigerator compartment air sensor), the fan
switches ON. The fan takes in the warm air from the front and blows it down past the evaporator. Some of the air
that is now cold is conducted directly into the refrigerator compartment, i.e. past the BioFresh compartments up
into the refrigerator compartment.

As soon as it is sufficiently cold in the refrigerator compartment, the fan switches OFF. The compressor continues
running and the BioFresh drawers are statically cooled by the falling coldness. The compressor operates until
such time as the air in the BioFresh compartment is cold enough (detection by BioFresh air sensor).

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

Connectors: - When connecting, pay attention that the hose ends are not mixed up (inlet and
outlet have red and blue marking). The direction of water flow through the filter
has to be correct.
- The hose ends have to be pushed into each connector to a depth of 17 mm (mark if necessary).
- Check for a firm fit and attach a circlip at either end (this prevents unlocking).
- Stow away the hoses and check for tightness (feed water using the IceMaker test program).

5.2.9 Fitting the evaporator cover

Fitting: - In order for the cover to rest against the compartment liner it is necessary to stow away especially
the fan cables and air sensor cables in the recesses provided for the purpose.
It is therefore advisable to draw extra cable length into the appliance and to push it
out again through the rear wall when fitting the cover.
- The two retaining lugs on the top of the cover have to be pushed into the grooves of
the compartment liner.

5.3.7 Fitting the cover

Cover: - Air ducts must be free from cables.

- Therefore stow away the air sensor cables and reed PCB cables in the space above the
evaporator.
- The cover has to rest fully against the compartment liner to ensure correct air conduction.
- Pay attention that the cover also makes contact with the ceiling of the compartment to permit
the lower drawer to travel to its limit position when being closed.

Horizontal adjustment: - When fitting the drawers, pay attention that the small plastic plates underneath
the front screws are re-fitted properly.
- They enable the drawers to be horizontally adjusted so that the outer edges
are in alignment with the outer side edges of the refrigerator compartment doors.
- Starting from the basic position (0) the two drawers can moved by 1 or 2 cm to the
left or right. The numbers and directional arrow are embossed on the small plates
for assistance.
