User manual SEVERIN KS 9798

[. . . ] Dear Customer, Before using the appliance, read the following instructions carefully and keep this manual for future reference. The appliance must only be used by persons familiar with these instructions. Transporting the appliance To prevent damage to the unit during transport, ensure That all accessories and components inside and around the appliance are securely fastened. The unit must only be transported in its vertical position; do not tilt any more than 30°. [. . . ] If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be in installed between the heat source and the unit. If the cabinet freezer is installed with its side against a wall, ensure a minimum clearance of 60 mm with the wall; this is to ensure that the freezer door can open sufficiently wide to slide out the drawers. Temperature control The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. it Is only switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall socket. In position `0', the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the mains. The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it. We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as necessary. Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, it may take around 5 minutes before it switches on again. Mains connection indicator (green) With the unit connected to the mains, the green light is permanently on. High-temperature alarm indicator (red) This light comes on if the internal temperature rises above 9 °C. Storing and freezing food The temperature inside the unit depends mainly on the Ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored. It should also be noted that the interior temperature may increase every time the door is opened. The unit is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes. To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as quickly as possible. For this reason, prepared food should be put in the quick-freeze compartment, spaced out in one or two rows. The quick-freeze area inside the freezer compartment is marked Fast Freeze, where we recommend you first put the food to be frozen for quick-freezing, before moving it to other compartments (as appropriate) after 24 hours. Caution: To ensure sufficient distribution of cold air, keep a minimum distance of 2. 5 cm between the vapouriser assembly and the tray containing the food to be frozen. Do not allow unfrozen food to come into contact with food that is already frozen. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back to its original position. [. . . ] Take out the cover 10 from the lower panel 1 and replace it on the opposite side. Fit the handle on the opposite side, using the fixing screws to secure it. Push the sealing plugs into the now empty openings in the door and replace the covering caps on the screw heads. Disposal Appliances that are marked with this symbol have to be disposed of separately from household rubbish. [. . . ]
