SEVERIN KS 8828, Instructions For Use Manual

- 21 -

•  The freezing time shortens if the food to be 

frozen is divided into small portions. 

•  Store the frozen food in the appliance only pack-

aged. You can use uncoloured plastic sheets/

bags or aluminium foil as packaging material. 

Remove the air from the packaging before 

freezing and check for airtightness. Provide every 

packaging with a label with the content, date of 

freezing and date of expiry on it. 

•  Do not freeze carbonated liquids, warm foods or 

liquids in a glass container or bottle.

•  Defrost frozen appliances in the refrigerator. 

Foods keep their taste when they are defrosted 

slowly, and the emitted cooling energy from 

these appliances can be used to maintain the 

intended temperature in the refrigerator.

•  If the appliance is turned off for a longer period 

of time, e.g., because of a mains failure, leave 

the door closed. Thereby, a more significant loss 

of cooling energy can be avoided. The maxi-

mum storage time during malfunction can be 

taken from the appliance specification sheet at 

the end of the manual. Because of the higher 

interior temperature, the storage time for food is 

shortened.

Data for expiry dates of frozen food are indicated in 

the chart per month. 

Do not store the frozen food longer than the given 

time in the freezer. Pay attention to the expiry date 

of the frozen food indicated by producer.

Refrigerator:

•  Store the food only packaged or covered in the 

refrigerator, in order to sustain the flavour and 

the freshness. Especially foods with a strong 

smell or prone to absorbing smell (cheese, 

fish, butter, among others) have to be stored 

separately.

•  There are different zones of low temperature in 

the refrigerator. The warmest zone is at the top 

of the door in the refrigerator. The coldest zone is 

on the back wall at the bottom of the refrigerator. 

•  For this reason, arrange the food in the following 

way:

ū

On the shelves in the freezer (top to bottom): 

Baked goods, ready-made meals, dairy pro-

duce, meat, fish and sausages.

ū

In the VeggiBox: Vegetables, salad and fruits.

ū

In the door (from top to bottom): Butter, 

cheese, eggs, tubes, small bottles, big bottles, 

milk and juice bags.

• 

At first, set an average cooling temperature. If 

the cooling is too strong, set a higher tempera-

ture and if the cooling is too weak, set a lower 

temperature. 

If frost is built upon the back wall, then the 

cause of this could be that the door was opened 

too long, warm dishes were in the appliance or 

the temperature was set too low.

•  Warm foods have to be cooled down to room 

temperature before they can be stored in the 

appliance.

•  Make sure that the door is closed correctly and 

that it is not blocked by cooled food.

Cleaning and Defrosting (Maintenance)

Cleaning

•  Always pull the mains plug before cleaning.

•  Do not pour water into the appliance.

•  Tepid water with a bit of washing-up liquid is 

suitable for the regular maintenance. In order to 

avoid an unpleasant smell in the cooling room, a 

cleaning of the latter once a month is recom-

mended.

•  Clean the equipment separately with rinsing 

water, not in the dishwasher.

•  Do not use aggressive, abrasive or alcoholic 

detergents.

•  After cleaning it with clear water, wipe the sur-

face and carefully dry it off. Subsequently, plug 

the mains plug 

with dry hands

.

• 

In order to save energy and maintain the effi

-

ciency, you should clean the condenser (on the 

backside) and the compressor at least twice a 

year with a broom or vacuum cleaner.

•  The rating label in the interior of the appliance 

cannot be damaged or even removed while 

cleaning.

Defrosting

Defrosting the freezer

If the ice layer in the interior is 2-4 mm thick, the 

freezer must be defrosted. Clean it at least twice a 

year.

•  Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

•  Remove food from the freezer and store it as cool 

as possible, e.g., together with ice packs and 

covered in a plastic recipient. Please remember 

that the lifetime of the goods is shortened by the 

temperature increase and that they should be 

consumed as quickly as possible.

•  Leave the door open. To speed up defrosting, 

place one or more pots with hot but not boiling 

water in the freezer.

•  Warning!

 Do not use other mechanical devices 

or any other means, e.g., heating appliances, to 

speed up defrosting.

•  Dry the freezer thoroughly after cleaning.

•  Plug in the mains plug. Wait approx. 5 minutes 

and set the temperature controller to the desired 

position.
