5 Technical description
5.1 Function description
All materials used in the refrigerator are compatible for use with mother milk.
The refrigerant circuit is maintenance-free.
The refrigerator is available as freestanding version (FS) and as built-in version (BIU).
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
refrigerator can be used as a built-in version.
The built-in version is intended to be mounted into furniture. It doesn‘t have a foot
frame or cooling unit cover.
During operation at an ambient temperature of +10 °C to +35 °C, the refrigerator
can maintain an inner temperature of +1 °C to +4 °C.
The digital thermometer shows and stores the minimum and maximum inner
temperatures from the last reset so that you can check whether the mother milk has
been stored at the appropriate temperatures.

5.3 Safety thermostat
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety thermostat. This thermostat switches off the
compressor as soon as the inside temperature falls below +1 °C preventing the
mother milk from being harmed by freezing.
5.4 Rechargeable battery
In case the power supply is interrupted, the monitoring functions of the electronics
are maintained by an integrated rechargeable battery for at least 12 hours.
The battery is automatically charged if the refrigerator is connected to the mains and
switched on.
At the first starting up of the refrigerator the error message “E3” may appear. The
message will disappear as soon as the battery is charged.
If the capacity of the battery is no longer sufficient to take over the monitoring
functions the error message “E3” appears on the display.
