SEVERIN KS 9804 User Manual

Dear Customer,
Before using the appliance, the user should read the following instructions carefully.
Connection to the mains supply
The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with
the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on
the rating label. This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives.
● Do not operate this unit by means of a transformer or, together with other electrical
appliances, by means of an extension cable.
● To prevent noise vibration, ensure that the power cord does not touch any part of the
rear of the unit (e.g. the heat-exchanger).
General information
This compressor-freezer unit is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of deep-
frozen food, as well as for making ice-cubes.
The unit is classed as Climate Class ‘N’ (Normal) and designed for domestic use. It complies
with all relevant norms for domestic freezer appliances.
Important safety instructions
● To prevent the risk of personal injury or damage to the freezer, the unit must only be
transported while in its original packaging. For unpacking and installation, 2 persons are
needed.
● The cooling circuit in this appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable. Ensure, therefore,
that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become
damaged during transportation and installation of the appliance. If
damage to the cooling circuit does occur, do not switch on or connect
the appliance to the mains power. In the case that there is an open fire or any other
sources of ignition in the vicinity of the refrigerant gas, make sure it is removed
immediately from this area and that the room is then thoroughly ventilated.
● Warning: Do not damage the cooling circuit. Any escaping refrigerant causes damage to
the eyes; there is also a danger of the gas igniting.
● Warning: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction. Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times.
● Warning: Do not use any external device (e.g.; heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-
frosting; follow only the methods recommended in this manual.
● The ice removed from the unit during de-frosting is not suitable for human consumption.
● Warning: Do not operate any electrical appliances (e.g. ice makers) inside the freezer’s
food storage compartment.
● Before it is connected to the mains power, the unit must be thoroughly checked for
transport damage, including its power cord.
● The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of
such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.
