SEVERIN KS 9831 Mode D'emploi page 16

– For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. To
prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a month.
– Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
– Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
– After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water before wiping them completely dry.
When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
– To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the condenser (at the rear) as well as the
compressor should be cleaned at least twice a year with a broom or a vacuum cleaner.
– Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
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 flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists possible malfunctions and their probable caus es and solutions. In the event
of operational problems, check first 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.
Problem
The appliance is not working at all.
The normal operating sound
changes or becomes louder.
Water is collecting on the bottom
of the unit.
Transporting the appliance
The unit must only be transported in its vertical position.
Do not tilt it any more than 45°. To ensure optimum performance, wait a minimum of 2 hours after
transporting the unit before connecting it to the mains.
During transport, ensure that the unit is properly secured and protected against shock, vibration and
shifting.
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.
– Check for proper positioning (uneven floor?).
– 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.
