Frequently Asked Questions - CCHH 145 - CCHH 145 CANDY

How to adjust the freezer temperature?

Use the thermostat (1) located on the control panel. Turn it between the Min (warmest) and Max (coldest) settings. The storage temperature decreases from Min to Max. It is recommended to set to -18°C for optimal preservation.

What to do if the red light comes on?

The red light indicates an alarm due to excessive internal temperature. Check that the door is properly closed, there is no excessive frost build-up, and the appliance is not exposed to a heat source. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to defrost the freezer?

Unplug the appliance and remove all food. Use a plastic or wooden scraper to remove ice (never metal objects). Remove the drain plug if present to drain water. Clean the interior, dry it, then plug the appliance back in after closing the door. Defrosting should be done when the ice reaches 5-6 mm thickness.

Why is the door hard to open after closing?

This is a normal phenomenon due to the pressure difference between inside and outside. Wait a few minutes for the pressure to equalize, then the door will open normally.

Which products should not be frozen?

Do not freeze bottled or canned drinks (especially carbonated) as they may burst. Also avoid medications, bacteria, chemical agents, and explosive substances such as aerosol cans containing flammable propellant gas.

How to clean the interior of the freezer?

Use warm water mixed with baking soda (about 1 tablespoon per liter of water). Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders, ammonia, chlorine, or metal scouring pads.

What to do in case of a power outage?

Do not open the door. Frozen food will remain frozen for the time indicated on the rating label (temperature rise time). If the outage lasts longer, check the food and consume it quickly or refreeze after cooking.

Why does condensation form on the exterior walls?

This can occur in certain atmospheric conditions (humidity, temperature). This phenomenon is normal and does not affect the appliance's operation. It usually disappears when humidity decreases.

How to save energy with this freezer?

Install the appliance in a well-ventilated place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Avoid putting hot food in, do not overpack items, and defrost regularly. Open the door as little as possible and keep the gasket clean.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts (thermostats, sensors, boards, lamps, handles, gaskets) are available from authorized customer service. Visit the website https://corporate.haier-europe.com/ to contact technical support. Parts are guaranteed available for 7 to 10 years depending on the type.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Carefully read the instructions for handling and installing the appliance! They contain important information about installation, use, and maintenance. The manufacturer is not responsible if you do not follow the instructions and warnings.

Keep all documents for later use or for the future owner of the appliance.

• Do not connect the appliance to the power supply until you have completely removed the protective and transport packaging. Keep children away from the packaging and its parts. There is a risk of suffocation from folding cardboard packaging and plastic film!
• Allow the appliance to stand for at least 4 hours before switching it on to allow the compressor oil to settle if it was transported in a horizontal position.
• Upon delivery, make sure that the product is not damaged and that all parts and accessories are in perfect condition. Be careful not to damage the refrigeration circuit.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings around the appliance or built into its structure are not blocked.
• Never use water to wash the compressor; after cleaning, wipe it thoroughly with a dry cloth to prevent rust. Due to the weight of the appliance, always move it with at least two other people.
• Place and level the appliance in a location suitable for its size and use.
• Check that the electrical supply matches the data on the rating plate. If it does not, contact an electrician. For the appliance to work, a power supply of 220-240 V AC / 50 Hz is required. Unusual voltage fluctuations can cause the appliance to fail to start, damage the temperature control mechanism or compressor, and may also cause unusual noise during operation. In that case, it is necessary to install an automatic voltage regulator.
• For the United Kingdom only: The appliance's power cord is fitted with a three-prong plug (grounded) that matches a standard three-socket (grounded) outlet. Never disconnect or remove the third pin (ground). After the appliance is installed, the plug must be easily accessible.
