Defrosting the refrigerator

The refrigerator does not have to be defrosted but it 

does have to be cleaned.

The refrigerator‘s evaporator is fixed into the rear 

wall, which is why the rear walls can become 

covered with frost. Whenever the compressor is not 

working, frost can melt. The resulting water is led 

through a hose system to the basin on the com-

pressor, where it then evaporates due to the heat 

generated. When setting the temperature controller, 

avoid permanent frost without a defrost phase. 

Make sure that the drain gully and the drain open-

ing are not blocked so that the water produced in 

the refrigerator can always flow off unobstructed.

Tips for Energy Saving

•  For the installation of the appliance, choose a 

cool, dry and well-aired room.

•  Protect the appliance from direct insolation. It 

should not be installed near heat sources (stove, 

heater etc.). If this cannot be avoided, some sort 

of isolation between heat source and appliance 

has to be used.

•  Don’t cover the ventilation openings and grid. 

Provide enough circulation of air on the backside 

of the appliance. 

•  Let warm food cool down before you store it in 

the fridge.

•  Do not leave the door open too long when with-

drawing or putting food inside. Otherwise, the 

formation of ice in the interior will be accelerated.

•  Do not set the temperature lower than necessary. 

More details on temperature settings can be 

taken from the chapter ‘Controls and Display’.

Operation Noises

There might be some typical operation noises when 

the appliance is turned on. These are:

•  Noise of the electric motor 

is arising from the working 

compressor. When the com-

pressor starts to operate, 

then the noises get slightly 

louder for a short time.

•  Noises in the tubes of the circulation of the 

refrigerant.

Disposal

Appliances that are marked with this 

symbol have to be disposed of separately 

from household rubbish. These applianc-

es contain valuable resources that can 

be recycled. A correct waste disposal 

protects the environment and the health 

of those around you. To get informed about it, 

either defer to your municipal administration or the 

retailer.

•  Pull the mains plug out of the socket and 

disconnect it from the appliance before getting 

rid of it.

•  The cooling medium Isobutane 

(R600a) and the propellant in the 

isolation Cyclopentane (C5H10) are 

inflammable substances, thus, need 

to be appropriately disposed of.

•  Make sure the tubes of the cooling circuit don’t 

get damaged before the proper disposal.

Warranty

Severin grants you a manufacturer’s warranty 

of two years starting from the date of purchase. 

During this period, we eliminate all defects which 

are noticeably based on material or fabrication 

defects and substantially affect the function, free of 

charge. Further claims are excluded. The following 

is excluded from the warranty: Damages that result 

from non-observance of the instruction manual, im-

proper use or normal abrasion, also delicate parts,
