Troubleshooting - SEVERIN KS 9784 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.
∙ Ensure suffi cient air circulation around the sides of 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.

Possible cause and solution
∙ The temperature control is set to '0'. → Use a higher temperature setting.
∙ The wall socket is defective. → Check the fuse. If necessary, have the wall outlet
checked by a qualifi ed electrician.
∙ Too much food has been stored in the appliance. → Do not store excessive food (see
product data sheet).
∙ The doors are not properly closed. → Ensure that the doors are properly closed.
∙ The door seals are defective. → Check the door seals and contact our Customer
Service if necessary.
∙ There is too much dust on the condenser. → Clean the condenser regularly.
∙ Insuffi cient ventilation: the unit is too close to a wall or other structure or object. →
see section 'Ventilation'.
∙ The temperature control is set too low. → Use a higher setting.
∙ The unit is not fi rmly set on the fl oor. → Use the adjustable front feet to align the unit
properly.
∙ Adjacent furniture or objects are affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing
them to vibrate). → Keep the stated clearances.
∙ Any objects on top of the unit might be vibrating → Remove such objects.
∙ The melt-water drain system is blocked. → Remove the blockage and clean the
system.
∙ Hot food has been stored inside the cabinet. → Let the food cool down before putting
it in.
∙ The door seals are defective. → Check the door seals and contact our Customer
Service, if necessary.
∙ The temperature control is set too high. → Use a lower temperature setting.
∙ It is necessary to de-frost the freezer compartment. → See 'De-frosting and cleaning'
∙ See 'Excessive build-up of frost on the rear of the main cabinet' (above).
∙ Frequent de-frosting helps to save energy. For detailed
information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the
section De-frosting and cleaning.
∙ Do not set a lower-than-necessary temperature. For detailed
information on the temperature settings, please refer to the
section Temperature control.
Operating noise
∙ 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.
