Frequently Asked Questions - WTT98CD Wolkenstein

What is the recommended thermostat setting for normal daily use?

For daily use, set the thermostat to position 3. For colder temperatures, set to a higher value. The 'Off' setting (0) only stops the compressor; unplug to disconnect completely.

How do I defrost the freezer?

Turn the thermostat to 0/Off and unplug the appliance. Remove all food and place it in a cool box. Put dry cloths inside to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects or hot water. After defrosting, clean and dry the interior, then restart as per the manual.

Can I change the door hinge side?

Yes, the door hinge position is reversible. Empty the appliance, set the adjustable feet to maximum height, then unscrew the bottom hinge. Use the hexagonal hole in the hinge as a wrench to remove and install the hinge pin on the opposite side. Reinstall the handle on the opposite side and cover the old holes with the supplied caps. Two persons are recommended for this task.

What is the minimum clearance required for ventilation?

For proper ventilation, maintain at least 1 cm gap at the back, sides, and top. To maintain energy efficiency class D, the minimum distances are 20 cm back, 20 cm sides, and 30 cm top. Insufficient ventilation may cause fire risk.

How should I clean the freezer?

Always unplug before cleaning. Use a damp cloth with mild washing-up liquid for external surfaces, and warm water with mild detergent for interior. Rinse with clear water and dry. Do not use abrasive or organic detergents. Clean the condenser (rear) twice a year with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush.

What does the star rating mean for freezing?

This freezer has 4 stars (****) meaning it can freeze fresh food and store frozen food at -18 °C. The recommended storage periods vary: up to 3 months for seafood and meat, up to 12 months for fruit and beef. Always respect the 'use by' dates.

What should I do if the compressor runs continuously?

Possible causes: the appliance was just turned on, too much warm food was added, door opened too often, or high ambient temperature. Normal operation after a defrost or initial start may be longer. If it persists, check that the door seals properly and the appliance is not overfilled.

Is the refrigerant R600a dangerous?

R600a is flammable but environmentally friendly. Do not damage the cooling circuit. If a leak occurs, open windows, do not touch the appliance or electrical switches, and contact the retailer. Keep away from open flames and sparks.

How long is the guarantee period?

The manufacturer provides a 24-month guarantee from the date of purchase for material and fabrication defects. It does not cover damage from improper use, repairs by non-professionals, or fragile parts like plastic and glass. The guarantee is valid for appliances purchased and used in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Netherlands.

How can I save energy with this freezer?

Let hot food cool before placing inside; avoid opening the door unnecessarily; keep the appliance well-ventilated (see clearance requirements); defrost periodically to prevent ice buildup; do not overfill; set the thermostat to 3 for normal use.

4.4 Storage of food

Your appliance has the accessories as the “Description of the appliance” showed in general, with this part instruction you can have the right way to storage your food. Food is not allowed to touch directly all surfaces inside the appliance. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminium sheet or in cellophane sheet or in airtight plastic boxes.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.

Fresh food care for best results:

Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.

Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer. Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the fridge compartment.

Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.

Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.

Dairy foods and eggs

Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended „use by /best before/best by/date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge compartment and use within the recommended time.

Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.

Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.

Red meat

Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.

Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.

Poultry

Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.

Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.

Fish and seafood

Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.

If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.

Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 - 2 days.

Precooked foods and leftovers

These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.

Keep for only 1-2 days.

Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

Vegetable container

The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.

Take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 7^ C for long periods: Citrus fruit, melons, aborigines, pineapple, papaya, curettes, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.

Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.

Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas and mangoes.

Freezing and storing food in the freezer compartment

To store deep-frozen food.

To make ice cubes.

To freeze food.

Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly.

Purchasing frozen food

Packaging must not be damaged.

Use by the „use by /best before/best by/“ date.

If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food

Store at -18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer compartment door unnecessarily.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Note: Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

The following foods are suitable for freezing:

Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.

The following foods are not suitable for freezing:

Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, sourd milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum foil. These products are available from specialist outlets.

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer compartment

These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).

Food	Storage time
Bacon, casseroles, milk	1 month
