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 deep­frozen 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.

Freezer



● To avoid the risk of fire, do not place any thermo-electric appliances on top of the

freezer. Do not operate electric water kettles on top of the unit, in order to avoid liquid
boiling over and damaging the electrical insulation.

● Only food commonly used in domestic households should be stored in the freezer.

● Alcoholic substances may be stored only in properly sealed containers and in upright

positions.

● To avoid the risk of food poisoning, do not consume food after its storage time has

expired. Thawed foods must not be frozen a second time.

● Do not lean or put undue weight on the shelves, compartments, door etc.

● Protect the inside of the freezer at all times from open flames and any other sources of

ignition.

● Do not store any glass bottles containing carbonated or other freezable liquids in the

unit: such bottles may burst during the freezing process.

● Remove the plug from the wall socket

- in case of any malfunction,

- before de-frosting,

- during cleaning.

● Children are not aware of the dangers that may occur when operating electrical

appliances. Ensure adequate adult supervision and never let children play with the
appliance.

● In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, any repairs or

modifications to this unit must be carried out by our authorised service personnel,
including the replacement of the power cord.

● We reserve the right to introduce technical modifications.

● If the unit is not used for an extended period of time, we recommend keeping the door

open.

● If the unit is sold, handed over to a third party or disposed of at a suitable recycling

facility, attention must be drawn to the presence of the insulation agent ‘cyclopenthane’
C

5H10

as well as to the refrigerant R 600 a.

Before using for the first time

-

Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials completely, including the adhesive
strips.

● Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be thoroughly checked for transport

damage, including its power cord.

-

Clean the unit according to the instructions given in the De-frosting and cleaning section
below.

Installation

The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room. It should be operated in an
ambient temperature of 16 to 32 °C and a relative humidity of max. 70 %. Ensure that the

plug is accessible and can be removed from the wall socket at any time. Do not expose the
freezer to direct sunlight, and do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers
etc).

-

In order to ensure sufficient heat dissipation, optimum cooling efficiency and minimal
power consumption, ensure that air can circulate freely around the rear and top of the
unit.
The rear should have a minimum clearance of 100 mm from the wall, the sides a
minimum clearance of 200 mm from walls or adjacent objects, and the top a minimum
clearance of 300 mm below the ceiling or overhanging kitchen furniture. Ensure that the
door can swing open to an angle of 160°.

-

If the unit is positioned next to another refrigerator or freezer, a minimum lateral

distance of 2 cm is essential in order to prevent condensation from forming.
Cellars usually offer the most suitable installation location.
In the case of uneven floors, the adjustable feet on the unit can be used to compensate and
ensure optimum stability. The freezer should be installed at a slight angle in such a way that
it leans to the rear: this will ensure that the door will close automatically and cannot be left
open by mistake. Ensure, however, that both front feet are set to the same height.

Ventilation

The heated air around the rear of the freezer must be able to circulate freely. Therefore,
ensure that the air circulation behind the unit is not obstructed.

Reversible door

The design provides for the door to be reversed, i.e. for right-hinged (default installation) to
become left-hinged.

1. Remove the hinge cover (1).

2. Use a suitable pointed tool to remove the

cover (5).

3. Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the two

screws (2) holding the hinge to the freezer

housing.

4. Carefully lift up the door and place it on a soft

surface to protect it from scratches.

5. Remove the blind cover for the hinge

mounting holes (9) and fit it in the

corresponding place on the right. Ensure that

the cover is firmly pushed down into the hole.

6. Pull off the two bolts (7) which keep the lower

hinge in position on the right.

7. Unscrew the adjustable (8) foot and re-fit it on

the right-hand side.

8. Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide

bushing (hole) on the lower part.

9. Install the upper hinge (3) on the left-hand side. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into

the guide bushing (hole) on the upper part.

10. Install the lower hinge (4) loosely. The screws should be tightened only after the door is

closed and in its proper position.

11. Replace the cover (5) in the corresponding holes on the right.

12. Replace the hinge cover (1) on the upper hinge.
