Troubleshooting - SEVERIN KS 9780 Instrucciones De Uso

∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that
the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet are free of
any blockage.
Energy saving tips
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry
room.
∙ 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
installed between the heat source and the unit.
∙ Do not cover the ventilation openings and grilles, and ensure
suffi cient air circulation behind the unit.
∙ The compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned at regular
intervals. Accumulated dust causes an increase in energy
consumption.
∙ Warm food should be allowed to cool down before it is
stored inside.
∙ To prevent an increased build-up of ice, do not leave the
doors of the unit open for too long when loading or taking
out food.
∙ Frequent de-frosting helps to save energy. For detailed
information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the
Problem
The appliance is not working at all.
The temperature inside the freezer
compartment is not low enough.
The normal operating sound changes or
becomes louder.
Water is collecting on the bottom of the unit.
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°.
Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes
before it is connected to the mains.
If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport, allow
it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is
connected to the mains.

∙ Do not set a lower-than-necessary temperature. For detailed
information on the temperature settings, please refer to the
section Temperature control.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are:
∙ caused by the
electrical motor within
the compressor
assembly; during
compressor start-up
the sound level will be
slightly higher for a
limited period of time.
∙ caused by the cooling agent fl owing through the circuit.
The following table lists possible malfunctions and their
probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational
p roblems, check fi rst whether a solution can be found using this
table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the
mains power and contact our Customer Service Department.
Possible cause and solution
∙ There is a power failure
∙ The main fuse has blown.
∙ The temperature control is set to '0'.
∙ The fuse in the wall socket (if applicable) has blown. This can be checked by
connecting another electrical device to the socket and checking for function.
∙ Too much food has been stored in the appliance.
∙ The doors are not properly closed.
∙ There is too much dust on the condenser.
∙ Insuffi cient ventilation: the unit is too close to a wall or other structure or object.
∙ The temperature control is set too low.
∙ Check for proper positioning (uneven fl oor?).
∙ Are any adjacent objects affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing
them to vibrate?)
∙ Are there any objects on top of the unit which might be vibrating?
The melt-water drain system is blocked. Remove the blockage and clean the
system.
Disposal
it through special waste collection points in accordance with
local regulations. The refrigerant and the chemical agent in
the insulation foam must be disposed of through a competent
agency. Take special care not to damage the cooling circuit
before the unit is handed over for such disposal.
This appliance has been manufactured from
recyclable materials. After removing the plug from the
wall socket, the unit should be rendered unusable
by cutting off the power cord before disposing of
