USER MANUAL KS 9807 - CONGELATEUR BAR SEVERIN

Dear Customer, Before using the appliance, the user must 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 defrosting; 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.

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

Do not place any liquid containers on top of the unit: this will prevent any leaking or escaping liquid 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. This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not 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' as well as to the refrigerant R 600 a. Familiarisation

Temperature control (at rear) Removable shelf Adjustable feet Door Vaporiser Before using for the first time - Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials completely, including the adhesive strips. - Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children: there is a risk of suffocation. ● 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 and the sides should have a minimum clearance of 10 cm from the wall. The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar object . In the case of uneven floors, the adjustable foot 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.

the guide bushing (hole) on the upper part.

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

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

Temperature control The temperature control automatically regulates the temperature of the freezer’s interior. After switching on, the temperature control should be set to position 5. After approx. 20 minutes, the setting should be changed to position 3, which is usually sufficient for home or office use.

The cooling function is switched off; however, the appliance is still connected to the mains. For long-term food storage, the temperature control should be set to the intermediate position. This position is used for freezing fresh food. The appliance is switched on for a longer period. Once the food to be frozen has reached the required deep-freeze temperature, the temperature control can be re-set to the intermediate position. Note: The operating temperature in the freezer largely depends on factors such as the ambient temperature and that of the food to be newly frozen. It also depends on how often the door is opened and how long it remains open. If necessary, the temperature control setting may be adjusted accordingly. Freezing and storing food - With an operating temperature of –18°C and below, the freezer can be used to store frozen or pre-frozen food for several months, to make ice cubes and to freeze fresh food. - Fresh (i.e. non-frozen) or warm food must not come into contact with already frozen food; this prevents frozen food from becoming partially thawed. - Prior to freezing, fresh food (e.g. meat, fish, minced meat) should be divided into smaller portions suitable for use after thawing). - When storing pre-frozen food, strict attention should be paid to the manufacturer’s information provided on the packaging. If no such information is to be found, however, a storage period of 3 months from the date of purchase must not be exceeded. - When buying frozen food, verify that the food is properly frozen, and that the packaging does not show any sign of damage. - To maintain the quality of deep-frozen food, it should be transported only in suitable containers and then placed inside the freezer without delay. - Carefully check the packaging when buying frozen food: if the packaging shows signs of moisture, has bubbled up or is bulging, it indicates that the food may not have been stored properly and has spoiled. - The storage times for frozen foods largely depend on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting, the type of food and the time between shop and freezer, but mainly also on how often the freezer door is opened and how long it remains open. Always follow the instructions given on the food packaging, and do not exceed the specified maximum shelf life. - Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic foil, bags or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use and then checked for air-tightness before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date.

Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below. Do not exceed these storage times. - The storage time will decrease if the internal temperature has increased, e.g. as a result of malfunction Making ice cubes A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray 3/4 full with drinking water and place it in the freezer. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes. De-frosting and cleaning - Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning. - Do not pour water over the unit. - Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. After a certain period of operation and depending on several factors (e.g. how often the door has been opened), a layer of ice will form inside the freezer compartment. Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, the unit must be de-frosted. The build-up of ice increases the power consumption of the appliance. When de-frosting the unit - Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket, - Remove all food from the freezer, place it into a plastic container, add pre-frozen freezer-packs and cover the container to keep the inside temperature down. - Leave the freezer door open.

Warning: Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to

accelerate de-frosting. After de-frosting, the freezer should be thoroughly cleaned using warm water and, if necessary, a mild detergent. Wipe thoroughly dry and air afterwards before using again. Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate in the freezer during cleaning. Any dust deposits around the ventilation slots on the outside of the unit should be regularly removed using a suitable brush or a vacuum cleaner. The build-up of dust will cause an increase in energy consumption. The rear of the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum

cleaner at least once a year. Remark: Do not use abrasive tools or materials containing alcohol or harsh cleaning solutions. Do not use any electrical appliances, such as steam cleaners etc., for de-frosting or 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 the possible malfunctions, their probable causes 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 Possible cause and solution The appliance is connected to the mains, but does not operate. The wall socket has no power, or there are contact problems. Check the wall socket and the plug. Abnormal noise can be heard during freezer operation. Either the unit has been improperly set up (e.g. on an uneven floor) or there is contact between the rear-mounted cooling circuit and the power cord, the wall or other object or surface. Verify that all installation instructions in this manual have been correctly complied with. When opening the door, the rubber seal pops out. The seal must be re-fitted properly, by pressing in the inner part of the seal. If the seal shows signs of a greasy residue, the seal and the door must be properly cleaned with water and a mild detergent, and then thoroughly dried before the seal is replaced in the door. Transporting the appliance The unit must be transported only in its vertical position. Do not tilt it any more than 45°. During transport, ensure that the unit is properly secured and protected against shock, vibration and shifting.
