Question 2

What are the two white water tanks located at the back of the VALBERG CNF 270 F W625C refrigerator for?

Accepted Answer

These two white tanks located at the back of your VALBERG CNF 270 F W625C / W625C2 refrigerator are condensation tanks. They collect the water naturally produced during the operation of the appliance.

Where does this water come from?
Your refrigerator operates with a No-Frost ventilated cooling system. This system naturally produces condensation (from the internal humidity) that the two tanks collect. This is completely normal operation.

How does it work?
The water gradually accumulates in these tanks and then evaporates or flows automatically through the drainage ducts located under the compressor. You shouldn't have to do anything: the system manages everything by itself.

Note:
If you observe excessive water accumulation under the appliance, it may indicate that one of the tanks is not properly leveled or that a drainage outlet is blocked. In this case, check that the appliance is level and that the drainage duct is not obstructed.

Question 8

How to improve food freezing in the freezer?

Accepted Answer

If your freezer is not freezing your food enough, here’s how to improve its performance:

Set the thermostat to maximum

The selector knob located in the refrigerator compartment has 8 positions (0 to 7). For better freezing, set it to position 7 (lowest temperature). Then let the appliance run for 4-5 hours before checking for improvement.

Check the target temperature

Your freezer should maintain a temperature of -18°C minimum to properly preserve your food. If you have a freezer thermometer, check that this temperature is reached with the setting at position 7.

Key points to check

Ambient temperature: your appliance works optimally between 16 and 32°C. If your kitchen is warmer (especially in summer), the appliance will struggle to cool and will have difficulty maintaining -18°C.
Frequent openings: every time you open the freezer, the temperature rises quickly. Limit openings and close the door without delay.
Filling: a well-filled freezer retains cold better than a partially empty one. The food itself helps maintain the temperature.
Cleanliness of the freezer: since defrosting is manual on this appliance, frost can accumulate and hinder air circulation. Regular cleaning (at least every 15 days in a humid environment) improves performance.

If the temperature remains insufficient even at position 7 and following these tips, the cooling system may be faulty. Contact a certified repair technician.

Question 9

How do I set the temperature of the VALBERG CNF 270 F W625C or CNF 270 F W625C2 freezer?

Accepted Answer

To set the temperature of your VALBERG CNF 270 F W625C or CNF 270 F W625C2 freezer, you have an electronic thermostat controlled by a button located inside the appliance, along with a SET button that allows you to modify the settings.

How to proceed: Press the SET button to access the settings. The appliance will automatically revert to the indicated mode if you do not press any buttons for 15 seconds. The freezer has three main positions:

NORMAL Position: this is the position generally used for most situations. It offers an appropriate freezing temperature for optimal food preservation (around -18 °C).
COOLER Position: this position makes the freezer colder. Use it when the ambient temperature is low, especially in winter or if it is below 10 °C, to maintain effective freezing.
COOL Position: this position makes the freezer less cold. Use it when the ambient temperature is high, especially in summer or if it exceeds 35 °C, to optimize energy consumption.

Important points to follow: After each adjustment of the thermostat setting, wait for the temperature inside the appliance to stabilize before making a new adjustment. Allow the freezer to run for at least 12 hours after each change for the temperature to stabilize properly. Change the thermostat position gradually only, altering one position at a time if necessary.

By following these recommendations, you will ensure optimal preservation of your frozen foods while managing the energy consumption of your appliance.
