Refrigeration tips

(9) (8) (7) (3) (4) (5)

  • To achieve the most efficient use of energy for your appliance, combine the glass shelves and door shelves as shown in the figure on page EN-11.
  • A temperature setting that is too high or too low can reduce the shelf life of your food. This leads to greater food waste.
  • Set the temperature in the fridge to +6 °C and fill the fridge in such a way that the temperature conditions inside are optimally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food storage.

The following tips show you how you can store foods in your appliance to keep them in the best possible condition over the longest possible period. This will mean that you avoid food waste:

  • Store spreadable butter and cheese in the moveable door tray (4) in the upper section of the refrigerator. This is where the temperature is warmest.
  • Store preserves, jars and eggs on the upper door shelf (3) in the refrigerator. Eggs are best stored on the supplied egg tray.

  • Place drinks cartons and bottles on the lower door shelf (5). Position full containers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the strain on the appliance door.

  • Store cooked and baked foods on the glass shelf (9).
  • Store fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the glass vegetable drawer cover (8) above the vegetable drawer (7). This is where the temperature is lowest.
  • Store fresh fruit and vegetables in the vegetable drawer (7).
  • Only store strong alcohol standing upright and closed tightly.
  • Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator.

The temperatures in the appliance and thus the energy consumption can increase

  • if the doors are opened frequently or for a prolonged period.
  • if the temperature falls below or exceeds the prescribed interior temperature.

Energy consumption is also dependent on the selected location.

Maintaining quality

  • To maintain the flavour and freshness of food in the fridge compartment, only place packaged food in the fridge compartment. Use special plastic containers for food or commercially available film.
  • Store the food

– in the refrigerator in a way that allows air to circulate freely. Do not cover the shelves with paper or anything similar.
- such that it does not touch the rear wall directly. Otherwise it may freeze onto the rear wall.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - Freezing foods, storing frozen foods - 1

WARNING

Danger of explosion!

Improper handling of the appliance may lead to an explosion.

■ Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a fl ammable propellant in this appliance, as they can form ignitable gas-air mixtures.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

Health hazard!

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 fi sh 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).
If there is a power failure, the frozen food may remain sufficiently cold for some time. In case of prolonged power failure or malfunction of the appliance, remove the stored frozen food from the appliance and store it in a sufficiently cool place or in another cooling appliance. The maximum storage time in the event of a power failure is shown on the appliance's type plate.
■ After a malfunction, check whether the stored food is still edible. Con-

sume thawed and defrosted foods immediately, do not refreeze.

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 them into your mouth straight from the freezer.
- Follow the instructions in this section to store your food over the longest possible time in the best possible way.

Freezing

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 "frost-bitten", i.e. the structure will be destroyed. A constant storage temperature of -18 ^ is needed to maintain the food's consistency, taste and nutritional value.

Freezing food has a positive effect on its shelf life. This will also help you avoid food waste.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - Freezing - 1

Please observe the maximum freezing capacity when freezing larger amounts of food. The maximum freezing capacity is shown on the appliance's type plate.

Preparing the food

  • Only freeze high quality food.
  • Freeze fresh and prepared food unsalted 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.
  • Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the carbon dioxide will escape during freezing.

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 which is possible to label. It should be designated as suitable for freezer use.

Portions

  • Use flat portions as much as 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.
  • Fill liquid containers no more 34 full, because liquids expand when frozen.
  • Do not store glass or metal containers containing liquids such as water, lemonade, beer, etc. Water expands when frozen and may burst the container.
    Only high percentage alcohol (from 40% by volume) should be frozen; make sure that it is tightly sealed.
  • Label the frozen food by type, quantity, amount and expiry date. Use waterproof

marker pens or adhesive labels wherever possible.

Freezing capacity

You will find the freezing capacity for your appliance on the appliance type plate.

- Adhere to the maximum freezing capacity if possible.

Up to the indicated maximum freezing capacity:

If you adhere to the maximum freezing capacity, the food will freeze at the fastest rate. The temperature in the freezer briefly rises after placing fresh goods inside. After 12 hours, the goods are frozen to the core.

Above the indicated maximum freezing capacity:

If you want to freeze more food in one go as an exception, freezing will take longer. Keep fresh goods out of contact with existing frozen foods, as the frozen foods could start to defrost. If contact with stored food cannot be avoided, we recommend that you create a cold reserve in the freezer before freezing the fresh goods.

The temperature in the freezer briefly rises after placing fresh goods inside. After another 12 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 ^ .

• 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 times on the packaging

Defrosting food

- Observe the following basic rules when defrosting food:

  • To defrost food, remove it from the freezer compartment and let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • 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 only want to defrost 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.

Preparing ice cubes

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - Preparing ice cubes - 1

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Eating ice cubes which have been prepared using impure or standing water can cause food poisoning.

■ Use only potable water to make ice cubes.

- Fill the supplied ice cube container to the 34 level with fresh drinking water and place it horizontally in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are best removed by bending the ice cube container slightly or holding it under running water for a short while.

■ Before cleaning, unplug the mains plug from the socket or switch off/un-screw the fuse.
■ When pulling out the mains plug, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

Dangers for children and people with limited physical, sensory or mental capacity!

■ Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - CAUTION - 1

NOTICE

Risk of damage!

The surfaces and appliance parts can be damaged through improper handling.

■ Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent or abrasive cleaners. These damage the plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with a neutral pH are recommended.
■ Use care products only on the outer surfaces.
■ Door seals and plastic parts are sensitive to oil and grease. Remove stains as quickly as possible.
■ Only use soft cloths.

Checking and cleaning the door seals

The door seals must be checked regularly so that no air can enter the appliance.

  1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper in various places. The paper should be difficult to pull through at all points.
  2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere: Warm the seal in the appropriate places carefully with a hair dryer and pull it out with your fingers.
  3. Clean dirty seals with clean water only.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - Checking and cleaning the door seals - 1

Manual defrosting is not necessary, as the fridge compartment of your appliance has an auto-defrost feature. Frost and ice are automatically defrosted and the thaw water is collected in a thaw water container on the reverse side of the appliance. The thaw water evaporates as a result of the heat generated by the motor.

Cleaning the inside of the appliance

  1. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket or switch off the fuse.
  2. Remove the chilled goods and place them in a cool room.
  3. Remove the vegetable drawer cover (8), the vegetable drawer (7), the upper door shelf (3), the moveable door tray (4), the lower door shelf (5) and the glass shelf (9) and clean all these parts in soapy lukewarm water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
  4. Wipe down the inside with warm water and dishwashing liquid.
    When wiping clean, add a few drops of vinegar to the water to prevent mould from forming.
  5. Wipe the interior dry and leave the appliance door (2) open for a while to air it out.
  6. Clean the door seals with clean water only; they are sensitive to oil and fat.

  7. Put the vegetable drawer cover, the vegetable drawer, the upper door shelf, the moveable door tray, the lower door shelf and the glass shelves back in place.

  8. Put the food back in the appliance.
  9. Re-insert the mains plug or switch on the fuse.
  10. Adjust the temperature to the desired level.

■ Use only soft cloths for cleaning.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - NOTICE - 1

If possible, defrost the appliance in winter when the outside temperature is

low. You can then store the food on the balcony (or similar) while defrosting.

Alternatively, you can wrap up the frozen food in a thick layer of newspaper and store it in a cool room or insulated bag.

  1. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket or switch off the fuse.
  2. Remove the chilled food from the fridge and the frozen food from the freezer.
  3. Ensure that your food is kept cool enough.
  4. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot, but not boiling, water in the freezer compartment. This will accelerate the defrosting process.
  5. Leave the door open while defrosting and place a floor cloth in front of the appliance to catch thaw water which may come out. The defrosting time depends on the thickness of the ice layer. Experience dictates that it is possible to start cleaning after approx. 1 hour.
  6. Wipe down the inside with warm water and washing-up liquid.
  7. When wiping clean, add a few drops of vinegar to the water to prevent mould from forming.
  8. Clean the door seals with clean water only; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
  9. Wipe everything completely dry, including the door seals, and allow to air briefly.
  10. Return the food to the fridge or freezer compartment.
  11. Connect the mains plug to the socket or switch on the fuse again.
  12. Set the temperature to +2 °C.
  13. When this temperature is reached, return the temperature setting to its usual level.

For electrical and electronic devices, waste prevention measures include extending the lifespan of defective devices through repair and reselling used working appliances instead of disposing of them.

Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.

More information can be found in the brochure "Waste Prevention Programme - of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal States".

Free return of old electrical appliances

Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface >100 cm^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.

In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.

Disposal

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally-friendly manner

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally-friendly manner - 1

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old elec-

trical appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

Don't forget to erase data!

If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment

Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs

If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

Hanseatic HEKS8260GD - Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs - 1

This symbol means that single-use and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.

Consumers are required by law to bring all single-use and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operated by their communal authority or borough or

to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.

Single-use and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.

Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.

There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the terminals of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.

Single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not built into the device should be removed before disposal and then disposed of separately.

Please only dispose of single-use and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
