SEVERIN KS 9784 Instrucciones De Uso página 14

Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials
completely, including the adhesive strips.
∙ The packaging materials must be properly disposed of.
∙ Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be
thoroughly checked for transport damage, including its
power cord.
∙ Clean the unit as described in the section De-frosting and
cleaning.
∙ When the unit is fi rst switched on, a slight 'new' smell may
be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling
process has begun.
Installation
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room.
∙ It should be operated in conditions where the relative
humidity is no more than 70 %.
∙ The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains
details of the ambient temperature range suitable for this
appliance.
∙ Do not use the appliance outdoors.
∙ Ensure that the plug is accessible and can be removed from
the wall socket at any time.
∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not
position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers etc). If
this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be in
installed between the heat source and the unit.
∙ The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly
below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar object.
∙ In the case of uneven fl oors, the adjustable front feet on the
unit can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.
∙ Ensure that the door can swing open to an angle of 160°.

Ventilation
Ensure that there is enough space
around the unit so that the air
circulation round and behind it is
not obstructed. (Rear, sides and top
100 mm.)
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.
∙ The medium settings are usually most suitable for home
use.
∙ 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 3 to 5 minutes before it
switches on again.
Interior lighting
Caution: Do not remove the cover of the interior LED light. If
there should be any malfunction, please contact the customer
service for assistance.
Storing and freezing food
The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer
compartment depend 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.
Main cabinet
∙ Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected
differently by the cooling effect. The warmest area is around
the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the coldest around
the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet.
∙ The food should therefore be stored as follows:
∙ On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery items,
ready meals, dairy products, meat, fi sh and cold meats/
sausages.
∙ In the vegetable compartment: vegetables, salad and fruit.
∙ In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes
(eg mustard), small bottles, large bottles, milk and fruit-juice
tetra-packs.
∙ Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to
absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, fi sh, butter), should be
stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
∙ Warm food should be left to cool down to room
