Frequently Asked Questions - HCD17884A2I Hanseatic

What is the optimal freezer temperature?

The recommended temperature for optimal food preservation is -18°C. Use the dial to adjust and a thermometer to verify.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost when ice build-up reaches 5-10 mm. This typically occurs every 6-12 months depending on usage and humidity.

Can I change the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the manual for step-by-step instructions on reversing the hinge.

What does the temperature alarm mean?

The alarm sounds if the internal temperature rises too high, indicating a door left open or a malfunction. Check the door seal and ensure proper closure.

How do I clean the freezer?

Unplug the unit, remove food, and clean the interior with a mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects to remove ice.

Why is my freezer producing excessive noise?

Chilling food

Filling the fridge

WARNING

Danger of explosion!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to explosions.

- Do not store explosive substances or spray cans with flammable propellants inside the appliance, as they may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures to explode.

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Contaminated food can cause health problems.

■ Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
■ Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
■ Clean the water tank if it has not been in use for 48 hours; rinse out the water system if water has not been dispensed for 5 days.
■ Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

■ Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes.
■ One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
■ If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

- Fill the fridge in such a way that the temperature conditions inside are used to their full potential:

• Place spreadable butter and cheese on the upper large door shelf (3) The temperature is highest there.
• Store jam, glass jars and eggs in the door shelves (3). Use the egg shelf to store the eggs.
• Place drink cartons and bottles in the door shelves (3). To reduce the load of the door hinges, place full containers closer to the door hinge.
• Store small bottles and tubes in the door shelves (3).
• Place cooked and baked foods on the glass shelves (12).
• Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the glass cover (11) directly above the fruit/vegetable drawers (4). This is where the temperature is lowest.

• Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the fruit/vegetable drawers (4).

• Store strong alcohol only standing upright and closed tightly.

• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge.
• If you intend to refill the fridge with large amounts of food, set “Quick refrigerating” about 2 hours before you fill it.

If you intend to refill the fridge with large amounts of food, set “Quick refrigerating” about 2.5 hours before you fill it (see page EN-17).

Maintaining quality

• To maintain the flavour and freshness of food in the fridge, only place packaged food in the fridge.
  Use special plastic containers for food or customary films.
• Place the food

– in the fridge in a way that allows the air to circulate freely. Do not cover the shelves with paper or anything similar;

– and not directly against the rear wall. Otherwise it may freeze onto the rear wall.

Freezing foods / storing frozen foods

WARNING

Danger of explosion!

Improper handling of the appliance may lead to an explosion.

- Do not store explosive substances or spray cans with flammable propellants inside the appliance, as they may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures to explode.

WARNING

■ Incorrect handling, insufficient cooling or overlapping items can spoil the stored food. This could lead to a risk of food poisoning when consumed!
- In particular, pack raw meat and fish carefully to ensure that adjacent food cannot be contaminated by salmonella or similar bacteria.
■ Abide by the storage times recommended by food manufacturers.

■ Note that the shelf life of the frozen food may be shortened due to a rise in the temperature inside the appliance (from defrosting, cleaning or power failure).
- In the event of prolonged power failure or appliance malfunction, remove stored frozen food from the appliance and store it in a sufficiently cool place or in another refrigerating appliance (maximum storage time in case of malfunction: 15 hours).
■ After a malfunction, check whether the stored food is still edible. Consume thawed and defrosted foods immediately; do not refreeze.
■ Use only drinking water to make ice cubes.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in injury. Risk of burns caused by low temperatures.

■ The food and the inside walls of the freezer have a very low temperature.
Never touch them with wet hands. This can cause injury to the skin.
Skin damage can occur even with dry skin.
- Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a little before eating, do not put into your mouth straight from the freezer.

Freezing food

Freezing means reducing the core temperature of fresh, room-temperature food to frozen as quickly as possible – for best results, "flash-frozen". If not cooled quickly enough, the food will be 'killed by frost', i.e. the structure will be destroyed. A constant storage temperature of -18^ C is needed to maintain the food's consistency, taste and nutritional value.

If you are freezing a large quantity of food at once, set "Quick freezing" 2 hours beforehand (see page EN-16).

Be sure to take note of the maximum freezing capacity (see “Product fiche concerning EU Directive no. 1060/2010” on page EN-39).

- Place food to be frozen in the freezer compartments (5) and (6).

Preparing food

• Only freeze high quality food.
• Freeze fresh and prepared food dry and unseasoned. Unsalted foods are more durable.
• Allow prepared food to cool before freezing. This not only saves power, but also prevents excessive frost formation in the freezer.
• Carbonated drinks are not suitable for freezing because the carbon dioxide escapes during freezing.

Selecting suitable packaging

Packaging is important when freezing. This will protect against oxidation, penetration by microbes, transfer of odours and flavourings and drying out (freezer burn).

- Only use packaging material that is strong, impermeable to air and liquid, not too stiff and labelled. It should be designated as suitable for freezer use.

Portioning food

• Create flat portions if possible; these freeze through to the core faster.
• Expel the air from the freezer bag as this causes the contents to dry out and takes up space.
• Use plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tapes to seal.
• Fill liquid containers no more 34 full, because liquids expand when frozen.
• Do not store any glass or metal containers containing liquid. These containers could break.
  • Always store strong alcoholic drinks upright and tightly closed.
• Label the frozen food by type, quantity, amount and expiry date. Use waterproof marker pens or adhesive labels wherever possible.

Maximum freezing capacity

For appliances with energy efficiency class A++ the maximum freezing capacity is 18 kg. Information about 'Freezing capacity in kg/24 hours' can be found on the data sheet on page EN-39.

- Do not fill the appliance with more than 18 kg of load.

Freeze smaller quantities

- up to 18 kg:

Once the freezer temperature is -18^ C, you can freeze fresh, room-temperature foods.

The temperature in the freezer briefly rises after placing fresh goods inside. After 24 hours, the goods are frozen to the core.

Storing frozen food

The deep-freeze chain must not be broken between the manufacturer and your freezer. The temperature of the frozen food must always be at least -18^ C.

• Therefore, do not buy any goods that

– are in frosty, over-icy chests.
- are stacked above the stipulated high-load marker.
– partially clumped (particularly easy to identify with berries and vegetables).
– have snow and juice traces.

• Transport frozen foods in special styrofoam boxes or insulated bags.
• Observe the storage conditions and storage times on the packaging.
• You can store frozen goods in the entire freezer.

Defrosting food

Observe the following basic rules when defrosting food:

• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and allow it to defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator for best results.
• To defrost food quickly, use the defrost function on your microwave, for example. Observe the manufacturer's instructions and note that bacteria and germs can multiply in this way.
• Cook or use thawed foods as soon as possible.
• Dispose of the defrosting liquid.
• If you want to defrost only part of a pack, remove the portion you need and immediately close the rest of the pack. In this way, you will avoid “freezer burn” and will reduce ice formation on the remaining foods.
  • Always defrost meat, poultry and fish in the refrigerator. Make sure that the frozen food is not immersed in its own thawing liquid.

Making ice cubes

Your appliance has an ice cube maker (35) with a lid (33), two ice cube trays (34) and an ice cube collecting container (37). You can remove the ice cubes from the ice cube trays using the ejector (36).

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Consuming ice cubes prepared using impure or standing water can endanger your health. Incorrect handling can cause food poisoning.

■ Use only fresh drinking water to make ice cubes.

Filling the ice cube maker

1. Take the ice cube maker (35) out of the ice cube collecting container (37).

1. Fill the measuring cup (38) for each ice cube tray (34) up to the 55 ml mark with cold, fresh tap water.
2. Using the measuring cup (38), fill the water in the ice cube trays (34) via the lid (33). The lid has funnel-shaped openings that guide the water into the ice cube trays (34).

2. Put the ice cube maker (35) in a small freezer drawer (5) with the ice cube collecting container (37).

Dispensing ice cubes

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in injury. Risk of burns caused by low temperatures.

■ The food and the inside walls of the freezer have a very low temperature. Never touch them with wet hands. This can cause injury to the skin.
Skin damage can occur even with dry skin.
■ Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a little before eating, do not put into your mouth straight from the freezer.

1. Take the ice cube maker (35) out of the freezer drawer with the ice cube collecting container (37).
