Operating Elements; Making Ice Cubes - SEVERIN GS 8866 Mode D'emploi

Operating elements

The temperature is set via the controller on
the top right corner of the appliance.
Normal
Min
Place it in a central position to set an opti-
mal temperature for normal use. The more
you turn the knob clockwise, the lower the
temperature in the appliance will be. The
more you turn the knob counterclockwise, the
higher the temperature in the appliance will
be. Make sure the desired temperature has
been reached by using a thermometer.
Freezer Door
The freezer door should always stay closed
so that the food does not defrost. Thereby,
the formation of ice and frost accretion is
reduced. Therefore, make sure that the door
is only open for withdrawal of food or rather
for filling the freezer.
Freezing/Storing of Food
• The appliance is designed for the freezing
of food, for the long-term storage of frozen
food as well as for the appliance ion of ice
cubes.
• Fresh food should be frozen to the core as
quickly as possible, so that the nutritional
value, the vitamins, etc. do not get lost. For
this reason, put the food in one or two rows
in the freezer.
• Do not bring them into contact with already
frozen food.
• Do not exceed the freezing capacity per
day! The respective value for the maximum
freezing capacity can be taken from the
appliance specification sheet at the end of
the manual.
• The freezing time shortens if the food to be
frozen is divided into small portions.
• Store the frozen food in the appliance only
packaged. You can use uncoloured plastic
sheets/bags or aluminium foil as packaging
material. Remove the air from the packag-
ing before freezing and check for airtight-
ness. 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
Max
bottle.
• Defrost frozen appliances in a refrigera-
tor. 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 maximum 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 indi-
cated 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.

Making ice cubes

A special ice-cube tray is provided for making
ice cubes. Fill the tray up to ¾ with drinking
water and place it in the freezer compartment
for a few hours. The ice cubes are easier to
remove from the tray if the tray is left stand-
ing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
