SEVERIN KS 9770 Instrucciones De Uso página 18

∙ 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 %.
∙ Refrigeration appliances are classifi ed into certain
climate classes. This classifi cation indicates the ambient
temperature at which the device can be operated.
Please refer to the product data sheet for information
on the classifi cation for this unit; the data sheet can be
found at the end of this manual.
∙ 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.
∙ If the unit is installed next to a wall, a minimum lateral
distance of 225 mm is necessary, so that the doors can
open wide enough for the drawers to be taken out.

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 around 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
∙ 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
temperature before being placed in the refrigerator.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and
that the seal is not obstructed by food stored inside the
cabinet or door.
Freezer compartment:
∙ The freezer compartment 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 fi rst put the food to be frozen for
quick-freezing, before moving it to other compartments
(as appropriate) after 24 hours.
