SEVERIN KS 9883 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 14

The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when
the plug is removed from the wall socket.
Note: with the temperature control in its OFF-position, only the compressor is switched off.
The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted by using the temperature control. We
recommend setting the temperature control initially to Normal. After a certain time, the
actual temperature should then be checked with a thermometer, and adjustments made if
necessary. Turning the temperature control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while
turning anti-clockwise will increase it.
The interior light can be switched on by means of the separate On/Off switch.
Changing the interior light bulb
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Use a suitable screw-driver to remove
the screw (5) behind the light cover
(4).
- Slide the cover (4) slightly to the rear
and take it off.
- Take out the defective bulb (1) and fit a new 10W-bulb (max. 15 W).
- Slide the cover (4) back into position, replace the screw (5) and tighten it.
Storing wine
- The temperature in the cabinet largely depends on factors such as the ambient
temperature, the setting and the number of wine bottles stored.
- Initially, the temperature control should be set to position Normal. If the cooling effect is
too strong, turn the temperature control anti-clockwise (towards Min); if it is
insufficient, turn it clockwise (towards Max).
- Because of the way the air circulates, different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are
affected differently.
The coldest area is in the lower part of the cabinet, and is most suitable for storing wines
that require more cooling, such as white wines.
The warmest area is in the higher part of the cabinet, and is suitable for storing wines
that require less cooling, such as red wines.
- Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by
bottles stored inside the cabinet.
De-frosting and cleaning
The integral vapouriser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you may therefore notice a build-
up of frost around the rear area. This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is
not working. Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray below
the compressor, where it will be absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not
therefore require de-frosting, but only proper cleaning instead.
●
To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that the channel and discharge
opening in the cabinet are free of any blockage.
Cleaning the unit / periods of non-use
- remove the plug from the wall socket
- remove the bottles from the cabinet
- leave the door open
