(This feature is optional)

• If the water pressure is below 1 bar then a
separate pump may need to be used.

• Water system of the refrigerator must be
connected to the cold water line. It must not
be connected to hot water line.

• No water may be obtained in the initial start-

up of the refrigerator. Because there is air in

the system. To discharge air from the system,
press dispenser latch for 1-2 minutes until
water comes from the dispenser. Water flow
may be irregular at the beginning. After the
air in the system is discharged, water flow will
return to normal.

• During initial use, you will have to wait

approximately 12 hours for the water to cool

down.

• It will take around 1-2 days for the system to
produce the full amount of ice.

• Water pressure must be between 1-8 bars for
the operation of ice/water dispenser smoothly.

For this, check that 1 glass of water (100 cc)

can be filled in 10 seconds.

• The first 10 glasses of water should not be
consumed.

• You must wait approximately 12 hours to

obtain ice from the ice dispenser for the first

period of time, first 1-2 glasses of water can
be not so cold.

• If a power outage or a temporary failure occurs
while the refrigerator is operating, ice can melt
down a little bit and then get frozen again. In
such a case, ice cubes can stick to each other.
If the outage or failure prolongs, ice can melt

down causing water leakage. If you experience

such a problem, empty and clean the ice
container.

• Ice cubes can stick to each other if they are left
in the container for a long time.

• If the product is to be connected to the water
mains, make sure that you use potable water.

• Water system of the product is designed to
operate only with water. Do not use beverage
such as soft drinks and/or juices in the water

5.2. NeoFrost Cooling System

Thanks to the two separate cooling systems,
cooling speed is much faster than traditional
refrigerators. Air in the fridge is kept with optimal
humidity which is essential for fruit and vegetables
and the freezer maintains a dry environment.
Odours are also not transferred from the fridge to
freezer and vice versa.

5.3. Freezing fresh food

• Wrap the food or place them in a covered

container before putting in the freezer.

• Hot food and beverages must cool down to the

room temperature before putting them in the
freezer.

• The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be

fresh and in good quality.

• Divide the food into portions according to your

family's daily or meal based consumption needs.

• Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent

them from drying even if they are going to be
stored for a short time.

• Materials to be used for packaging must be

tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity,
oils and acids and they must also be airtight.

Moreover, they must be made from easy-to-use

materials that are suitable for deep-freezers.

• Frozen food must be used immediately after

they are thawed and they should never be re­frozen.

• Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one

time. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.

• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment

causes the cooling system to operate
continuously until the food is frozen solid.

5.7. Chiller compartment

*optional

The chiller compartment maintains a lower

temperature then the rest of the fridge, ideal for

storing fresh meat fish and deli items.
You can increase the inner volume of your
refrigerator by removing any of the chiller
compartments:

1. Pull the compartment towards yourself until it
stops.

2. Lift the compartment about 1 cm up and pull
towards yourself to remove it from its seating.

intensified around the crisper in general. Remove

the door shelves that stand against the crisper
before removing the crispers.

5.11. Odour filter

prevent the overspill. If you slightly press the lever,
the water will drip; this is quite normal and not a

5.13. Filling the water
dispenser’s tank

Water tank filling reservoir is located inside the
door rack. Open the reservoir cover and pour in
clean drinking water. And then, close the lid.

Do not fill the water reservoir with any

other liquid except for water such as fruit

juices, carbonated beverages or alcoholic
drinks which are not suitable to use in
the water dispenser. Water dispenser will
be irreparably damaged if these kinds of

A

liquids are used. Warranty does not cover
such usages. Some chemical substances
and additives contained in these kinds
of drinks/liquids may damage the water
tank.

5.14. Humidity controlled crisper

(FreSHelf)

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept
under control with the feature of humidity-controlled
crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh for
longer.

We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables
such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables which
are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal manner
as much as possible inside the crisper, not on their
roots in a vertical position.

While the vegetables are being placed, specific
gravity of the vegetables should be taken into
consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables should be
put at the bottom of the crisper and the lightweight
and soft vegetables should be placed over.

Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in
their bags. If the vegetables are left inside their bags,
this will cause them to decompose in a short period
of time. In case contacting with other vegetables is
not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated
paper and other similar packaging materials instead
of a bag.

Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach,
etc. and apple in particular which have a high level
of generation of ethylene gas in the same crisper
with the other vegetables and fruit. The ethylene gas
which is emitted by these fruit may cause the other
fruit to ripen faster and decompose in a shorter time.

retailer and will be void if the product is resold.

8. This guarantee does not apply to graded sales (where the product is purchased as a “second”).

Does Blomberg offer replacements?

This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your

product with a new product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would
normally be an identical model but when this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be

provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the delivery of the new product and

for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and installing the

replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The

original guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with
a new guarantee.

When will the repair take place?

Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these hours may be

possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will

endeavour to minimize inconvenience and to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this cannot
be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to carry out a repair because a convenient
appointment cannot be arranged.
