Frequently Asked Questions - VS 7329 IX BOMANN

How do I reverse the door opening on the Bomann VS 7329 IX?

Disconnect the appliance from power. Remove the cable cover strip, hinge cover, and upper hinge. Lift off the door. Move the lower hinge and door stopper to the opposite side. Reattach the door and handle, ensuring the door seal fits properly. See manual for detailed steps.

What do the error codes (flashing LED) mean?

When the door is open, the interior light flashes: 1 flash = temperature sensor failure; 2 flashes = defrost sensor failure; 5 flashes = display communication failure. Contact an authorized technician if problems persist.

How should I clean the refrigerator?

Always unplug first. Clean interior, exterior, door seal, and accessories with warm water and mild detergent or a damp microfiber cloth. Do not use steam cleaners, abrasive tools, or acidic detergents. Dry thoroughly before restarting.

How do I activate Super Cooling mode?

Press the SUPER button on the control panel. The appliance will cool to approx. +2°C for about 3 hours, then automatically return to the preset temperature. You can deactivate it early by pressing SUPER again.

What is Vacation mode and how do I use it?

Vacation mode keeps the fridge at +17°C to save energy during long absences. Do not store perishable food. Press and hold the VACATION button for 3 seconds to activate/deactivate. The vacation icon will light up.

Why is the alarm sounding?

The alarm sounds if the door is left open for more than 90 seconds. Press the ALARM button or close the door to stop it. If the door remains open for 10 minutes, the interior light turns off.

Does this refrigerator need manual defrosting?

No, the Bomann VS 7329 IX features a NoFrost system that automatically prevents ice buildup. No manual defrosting is necessary.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Press the FRIDGE button on the control panel repeatedly to cycle through temperatures from +2°C to +8°C. The display shows the set temperature. Wait a few hours for stabilization.

How can I save energy with this refrigerator?

Install away from heat sources, ensure 50-70 mm space at back and 100 mm on sides/top, keep doors closed, allow hot food to cool before storing, and do not set colder than necessary. The appliance has a vacation mode for longer absences.

What should I do with the appliance at the end of its life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. Remove or disable locks (to prevent child entrapment) and take it to a designated collection point for electrical equipment. The refrigerant R600a is flammable; proper disposal is required.

Function description

Super cooling

When the super cooling function is activated, the device operates at maximum power (approx. +2°C) to speed up the cooling process.

The super cooling function switches off automatically after about 3 hours. The internal temperature adapts to the preset temperature.

The function can be ended at any time before the switch-off time has expired.

Vacation mode

CAUTION:

Do not store any fresh or perishable food in the appliance during this time.

Cause of longer absence you can put the appliance into holiday mode.

During this period, the fridge is cooled down to only +17°C. It does not only save energy, but also prevents unpleasant odors and mold, as the appliance is not completely switched off.

Alarm function

As soon as the appliance door remains open for more than 90 seconds. Press the ALARM button or close the appliance door to stop the acoustic signal.

If the appliance door remains open for more than 10 minutes, the interior light goes out.

Starting the appliance

• Connect the appliance to the power supply.
• Set the operating conditions. See also the following section "Settings".

Settings

Note that the temperature will change depending on the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and the amount of food in the appliance.

During initial operation, adjust the lowest possible temperature (= highest power level), or select the super cooling function first, until the appliance has reached the desired operating temperature. Afterwards it is recommended to turn the control back to a medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later point would then be easier.

i NOTE:

In generally a medium power level works best for an optimized food storage. A high power level also increases the energy consumption.

Interior light

When opening the appliance door, the interior light will turn on automatically.

Storing food

NOTE: Recommendation!

To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial loading foods.

CAUTION:

Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging.

Always store food covered or packed to prevent drying-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food items. You may pack the food with e.g.

• Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
- Plastic bowl with lid
- Special plastic cover with elastic strip
- Aluminum foil

To avoid contamination of food, respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems (see "Cleaning and Maintenance").
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the appliance is out of use for long period, follow the instructions under "Switching off".

Storage space

Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (partially and depending on model) can be adjusted in height or removed to optimize the storage space.

NOTE:

For the most efficient use of energy, place all shelves/drawers in their original position.

Temperature zones and storage recommendations The optimal cooling temperature is around 5\~7 degrees for the central area of the cooling.

Different cooling zones are created by the air circulation. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.

- The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages at around 2-3 degrees.

• About that it becomes less cold. For dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center of the cooling is just the right temperature at around 5 degrees.
• Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less cooling. The upper cooling part at around 6-8 degrees could be the right place.
• The cooling door is one of the warmest locations. The upper racks are good location for food that needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs. There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.
• The vegetable box (depending on the model) is suitable for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling temperature. To ensure that delicate fruits and vegetables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids the falling cold.

Fruit/Vegetable box with slider

The right humidity is crucial for long-lasting fresh fruits and vegetables. With the help of a slider you can regulate the humidity inside the vegetable box.

Slider position:

→ open: low humidity, recommended for fruits
→ closed: high humidity, recommended for vegetables

This allows ideal storage conditions for fruits and vegetables.

Fresh box

Suitable for fresh food such as fish, meat and seafood at a temperature 1\~2°C lower than in the fridge compartment.

Operating noise

Type of sound	Cause
Mumbling	Compressor during its operation
Liquid sounds	Circulation of the refrigerant
Click sounds	The temperature control turns the compressor on or off
