Frequently Asked Questions - HGT8566A2L Hanseatic

How do I set the temperature on my Hanseatic HGT8566A2L freezer?

Use the mechanical dial inside the freezer. Turn clockwise to make it colder (usually maximum is 7 or 8) and counter-clockwise to make it warmer. Refer to the user manual for exact settings.

What is the recommended temperature for freezing food?

The ideal temperature for long-term storage is -18°C (0°F). This inhibits bacterial growth and preserves food quality.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost when the ice buildup reaches about 5 mm (0.2 inches) thickness. Typically this may be every 3-6 months depending on usage and humidity.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. You will need a screwdriver and possibly an helper. Detailed instructions are in the installation manual.

Why is the freezer beeping?

An alarm may sound if the door is left open, if the temperature rises too high (e.g., after placing warm food), or if there is a malfunction. Check the door seal and refer to the manual for troubleshooting.

How long will food stay frozen during a power outage?

The storage time is approximately 16 hours for a full freezer. Keep the door closed to maximize duration.

What safety features does the freezer have?

It includes a door lock with key to prevent unauthorized access, and a high-temperature alarm (audible) to warn of temperature rise.

How do I clean the condenser coils?

Unplug the freezer and access the coils (usually at the back or bottom). Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust. Clean at least once a year for efficiency.

What is the energy consumption of the HGT8566A2L?

The annual energy consumption is approximately 221 kWh, placing it in energy class E. Actual consumption depends on usage and ambient conditions.

Where can I find spare parts for my freezer?

Spare parts are available for at least 7 years after production ends. Contact Hanseatic customer service or authorized dealers. The user manual lists part numbers for shelves, door bins, etc.

Connecting the chest freezer

! NOTICE

Risk of damage!

The coolant must be allowed to settle before connecting.

■ After transport leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours.

- Connect the mains plug to a properly installed socket (220-240V \~ / 50Hz / 10A). The power (7) indicator lights up.

Operation

Requirements

You can use the chest freezer once

– you have read the “Safety” chapter and understood the safety instructions (see page GB-4).

- it has been set up and connected as described in the "Start-up" chapter (see page GB-9).

Operating displays

Power (7) illuminates as soon as power is supplied to the chest freezer.

Run (8) illuminates when the compressor is working.

Alarm (9) illuminates when the chest freezer temperature rises above the set level and during normal operation will occur

– immediately after start-up, after defrosting and cleaning.
– after a prolonged power failure.
– if you have stored a large amount of fresh food.

As soon as the set temperature is reached, the Alarm indicator turns off automatically.

If none of this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting table” on page 19 to correct the problem.

Switching on and off

Switching on

1. Turn the thermostat control to the desired cooling capacity. The compressor starts to work after a short time, the refrigerant flows through the pipes and a quiet humming can be heard. The Power (7), Run (8) and Alarm (9) indicators are illuminated. Once the chest freezer has reached the set temperature, the compressor turns off. The Run and Alarm indicators switch off.
2. If the chest freezer makes worrying noises check the solid base and remove any objects that are on top of the chest freezer.

Switch off / shutdown

If you do not want to use the empty freezer, switch it off in the following way:

1. To switch off the freezer, turn the thermostat control (4) to "OFF" and pull out the mains plug.
2. Remove the freezer baskets from the chest freezer.
3. Clean the chest freezer (see „Cleaning and maintenance“ on page GB-16).
4. Leave the lid slightly open, so mould does not form on the inside. You have now switched off the chest freezer and it is no longer in use.

If you only set the thermostat control (4) to "OFF", the compressor stops working, meaning that the appliance does not cool. However, the power will continue to flow.

Switching on again

If the running operation has been interrupted, the freezer can not be restarted immediately. It is interrupted,

• if you set the thermostat control (4) to "OFF".
• if you unplug the mains plug from the socket.
  – in the event of a power failure.

- Wait 4 to 5 minutes before restarting the chest freezer.

If the lid of your freezer does not open again after closing, it has formed a vacuum inside. Wait for 1 to 2 minutes, and then the lid can be easily opened again.

Thermostat control

CAUTION

Health hazard!

The appliance may not operate properly if exposed to low ambient temperatures for extended periods of time. This can then lead to an increase in temperature inside the appliance.

- Abide by the specified ambient temperature (see “Climate category” on page GB-23).

You can adjust the temperature in the chest freezer with the thermostat control (4). Select a cooling capacity between "1" and "6", with the setting "6" being the coldest temperature.

The freezer is designed for a specific ambient temperature (see "Climate category on page GB-23). The power consumption and the temperature in the chest freezer can increase if

– the ambient temperature is exceeded or goes too low,
– the lid of the chest freezer is opened often or for too long.

1. Set the thermostat control (4) to the average cooling capacity "4". This setting is sufficient for normal ambient temperatures if you do not open the lid of the freezer for long and always close it properly.

2. Turn the thermostat towards "1" to reduce the cooling capacity.

3. To set a lower temperature turn the thermostat towards "6".

4. Adjust the temperature in the freezer according to the ambient temperature (e.g. in summer towards "6") and the amount of stored food.

You ideally need a freezer thermometer to be able to control the cooling efficiency. Put it in one of the freezer baskets (2). The ideal temperature is -18^ C. If you set the thermostat control (4) to "OFF", the chest freezer is not switched off. The compressor will not work then, but the appliance's power will still be flowing.

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.

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 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 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 refrigerating appliance (see page GB-23 for maximum storage time in case of malfunction).
  ■ After a malfunction, check whether the stored foodstuffs are still edible. Consume 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 area 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 area.

Health hazard!

Contaminated foods 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.
■ 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.

Freezer baskets

Line drawing of a kitchen sink with a rack and a magnified inset showing the rack structure (no text or symbols)

The freezer baskets (2) make sorting easier. They are hung on the chest frame by the handle. To remove frozen food that is stored underneath the freezer baskets, slide them aside. Use the freezer baskets for small portions of frozen food such as frozen herbs or ice cream.

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.

Preparing the 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 area.
• Carbonated drinks are not suitable for freezing because the carbon dioxide escapes during freezing.

Suitable packaging

Packaging is important when deep-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.
• Use plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tapes to seal.
• Label the frozen food by type, quantity, amount and expiry date. Use waterproof marker pens or adhesive labels wherever possible.

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% volume) should be frozen; make sure that it is tightly sealed.

How to pack the freezer properly

Maximum freezing capacity

Adhere to the maximum freezing capacity. You will find information about “Freezing capacity in kg/24 hours” in the data sheet on page GB-23.

Freeze smaller quantities

• Up to 2 kg: Once the freezer temperature is -18°C, you can freeze fresh, room-temperature foods.
  • Over 2 kg: Keep fresh goods out of contact with existing frozen foods as they could start to thaw. If contact with stored food can not 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 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 times on the packaging.

Preparing ice cubes

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Incorrect handling can lead to risks of causing food poisoning.

■ Use only fresh drinking water to make ice cubes.

- Fill an ice cube container 34 full with fresh drinking water and place it horizontally in the freezer compartment.

The ice cubes are best removed by bending the ice cube tray slightly or holding it under running water for a short while.

Defrosting food

Observe the following basic rules when defrosting food:

• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  – Always defrost meat, poultry and fish in the refrigerator. Make sure that the frozen food is not immersed in its own thawing liquid.
• 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 form in this way.
• If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion you need and immediately close the rest of the pack. This prevents "freezer burn" and reduces ice formation on the remaining food.

Cook or use thawed foods as soon as possible. Dispose of the defrosting liquid.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

Health hazard!

■ Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

Risk of electric shock!

■ Before cleaning, pull the mains plug out of the socket.
■ Make sure that no cleaning water penetrates into the ventilation slots, into the electrical parts and into the defrost water drain.

Check and clean the cover seals

NOTICE

The door seals can get damaged by improper handling.

• The door seals are sensitive to oil and grease – making the rubber porous and brittle. Only clean using clean water.
  ■ Only use soft cloths.

The cover seals must be checked regularly so that no air can enter the chest freezer.

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 in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.

Clean exterior

NOTICE

The door seals can get damaged by improper handling.

■ Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent or abrasive cleaners. These attack the plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with neutral pH are recommended.
■ Use care products only on the outer surfaces.
■ Never spray the device with a water jet (e.g. high-pressure cleaner).
■ Only use soft cloths.

• Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
• Wipe dry.
• Regularly remove dust deposits from the ventilation grilles on the back and on the right hand side of the chest freezer to minimise energy consumption.

Interior lighting

The LED interior lighting is maintenance-free and not replaceable.

Defrosting and cleaning the chest freezer

WARNING

Risk of explosion and injury!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to serious injuries and damage!

■ The thermal insulation of your appliance is made of sensitive insulating material. Therefore, do not use any electrical heating equipment, ice scrapers, knives, defrosting sprays, boiling water or any kind of aid with an naked flame, for example candles, to speed up the defrosting process. The thermal insulation and the interior are scratch- and heat-sensitive and can melt.

Health hazard!

An increase in the temperature of the frozen food during defrosting can shorten the shelf-life of the frozen food.

■ Ensure that the frozen food is kept sufficiently cool during defrosting.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to skin damage and injuries.

■ Never touch the inside walls or frozen food with wet hands. Injuries can also occur with dry hands though.
■ Use a dry towel to remove the frozen food.

NOTICE

When cleaning, please note:

■ Never use soap, sharp, granular, soda or solvent-based or abrasive cleaning agents. All-purpose cleaners with neutral pH are recommended.
■ The door seals can be damaged by unsuitable cleaning agents. Use care products only on the outer surfaces.
■ Use only soft cloths for cleaning.
■ Defrost the appliance before it forms a layer of ice and frost of more than 5 mm. Excessive ice formation inside the appliance can break the door.
■ Do not use any mechanical devices or means other than those recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate defrosting.

NOTICE

Defrost the freezer in winter when the outside temperature is low. You can then store the food on a balcony or similar while you are cleaning the freezer. Otherwise, you can wrap the frozen food thickly in newspaper and place it in another freezer in a cool room. You also have the option of using an insulated bag.

1. At least 3 hours before disconnecting, turn the thermostat control (4) to "6". This way, the frozen food gets a cold reserve and does not thaw so fast.
2. After 3 hours, turn the thermostat control to "0".
3. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
4. Take out the frozen food.
5. Unscrew the defrost water drain cap in the base of the freezer anti-clockwise to drain the defrost water.

1. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot, but not boiling, water in the freezer.
2. Place a bowl under the defrost water drain (11) to catch escaping defrost water.
3. Unscrew the cap from the defrost water drain anti-clockwise.

1. Leave the lid open during defrosting. The defrosting time depends on the thickness of the ice layer. Experience shows that you can start to clean the chest freezer after approximately one hour.

2. Carefully scrape off any stubborn ice with the plastic scraper (3).

3. Wipe the interior with warm rinsing water.
4. Clean the chest freezer (see figure "Check and clean the cover seals" on page GB-16).
5. After cleaning, thoroughly rub everything dry, including the door. Ventilate everything for a short time.
6. Screw the cap back into the defrost water drain at the base of the chest freezer.
7. Close the defrost water drain with the cap.
8. Plug the mains plug back into the socket and turn the thermostat control to "6".
9. Once a temperature of -18^ C is reached, you can re-pack your frozen food. Set the thermostat control to the desired cooling capacity.

Risk of injury!

■ The appliance is heavy and bulky. During transport, when setting up and positioning the appliance, get help from another person.
■ Freezer baskets, doors, etc. must not be used as steps or for support purposes.

Health hazard caused by refrigerant!

• Do not damage the refrigeration circuit, for example by piercing the refrigerant channels of the condensate vaporiser with sharp objects, cutting off the tubing, etc.
  ■ Refrigerant is flammable when spurting out and can damage the eyes. In this case, rinse your eyes in clean water and seek medical assistance immediately.
  ■ To prevent the formation of a flammable gas-air mixture in the event of a leakage in the refrigeration circuit, the installation space must have a minimum size of 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant in compliance with the EN 378 standard. The amount of refrigerant contained in your appliance can be found in the technical data (see from page GB-23).
• Do not place heat-emitting appliances such as microwaves, toasters etc. on the appliance and do not operate any electrical appliances inside the appliance.

NOTICE

Risk of damage!

The appliance may not operate properly if exposed to low ambient temperatures for extended periods of time. This can then lead to an increase in temperature inside the appliance.

- Abide by the specified ambient temperature (see “climate category” on page GB-23).

Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage.

■ If possible, do not tip the appliance horizontally, but transport it at a maximum inclined angle of 45^ .
- Do not use sharp objects when unpacking and removing the protective film.

Transport and unpacking

• Tape the castors under the chest freezer with adhesive tape to ensure stability during transport.
• Transport the chest freezer using a trolley or with the help of a second person.
• Remove the adhesive strips from the castors. Lift the chest freezer slightly onto its left side and push or pull it until it reaches the desired position.
• Unpack the chest freezer and carefully remove all packaging, plastic moulding, adhesive strips and foam padding from the inside, outside and back of the chest freezer.

Model Room size
HGT 8566A2L 5 m^3
HGT 8595A2L 6 m^3
HGT 85112A2L 7 m^3
HGT 85129A2L 8 m^3

Airflow

To ensure adequate air circulation,

• the chest freezer should not stand directly against the wall. Leave at least 15cm from the wall, cabinets and other appliances.
  – the ventilation grilles must remain clear and must not be covered.
  – the entire area above the chest freezer must be unobstructed.

Cooling capacity

To achieve the highest possible cooling performance with the least energy consumption, choose a location that:

– is not too warm, is dry and well ventilated,
– is not in direct sunlight.

It is recommended not to place it next to an oven, stove or radiator. Abide by minimum distances:

– to electric stoves: 15 cm,
– to oil and coal burning stoves: 30 cm,
– to refrigerators: 15 cm,
– to washing machines/dishwashers: 15 cm.

If underfloor heating is installed in the room where the chest freezer is to be installed, place an insulating plate of solid material under the chest freezer.

Set up the chest freezer and align

1. Place the chest freezer on as flat and as firm a base as possible.
2. Check the position with a spirit level.

1. Level out any unevenness on the ground using both of the front levelling screws. To do this

2. close the lid.

3. tilt the chest freezer slightly to the right.

4. twist the levelling screws in or out until the chest freezer is vertically level and set the chest freezer straight back down again.

5. Check the alignment with a spirit level.

When opening the lid, the chest freezer should not shift.

Connecting the chest freezer

! NOTICE

Risk of damage!

The coolant must be allowed to settle before connecting.

■ After transport leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours.

- Connect the mains plug to a properly installed socket (220-240V \~ / 50Hz / 10A). The power (7) indicator lights up.

Operation

Requirements

You can use the chest freezer once

– you have read the “Safety” chapter and understood the safety instructions (see page GB-4).

- it has been set up and connected as described in the "Start-up" chapter (see page GB-9).

Operating displays

Power (7) illuminates as soon as power is supplied to the chest freezer.

Run (8) illuminates when the compressor is working.

Alarm (9) illuminates when the chest freezer temperature rises above the set level and during normal operation will occur

– immediately after start-up, after defrosting and cleaning.
– after a prolonged power failure.
– if you have stored a large amount of fresh food.

As soon as the set temperature is reached, the Alarm indicator turns off automatically.

If none of this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting table” on page 19 to correct the problem.

Switching on and off

Switching on

1. Turn the thermostat control to the desired cooling capacity. The compressor starts to work after a short time, the refrigerant flows through the pipes and a quiet humming can be heard. The Power (7), Run (8) and Alarm (9) indicators are illuminated. Once the chest freezer has reached the set temperature, the compressor turns off. The Run and Alarm indicators switch off.
2. If the chest freezer makes worrying noises check the solid base and remove any objects that are on top of the chest freezer.

Switch off / shutdown

If you do not want to use the empty freezer, switch it off in the following way:

1. To switch off the freezer, turn the thermostat control (4) to "OFF" and pull out the mains plug.
2. Remove the freezer baskets from the chest freezer.
3. Clean the chest freezer (see „Cleaning and maintenance“ on page GB-16).
4. Leave the lid slightly open, so mould does not form on the inside. You have now switched off the chest freezer and it is no longer in use.

If you only set the thermostat control (4) to "OFF", the compressor stops working, meaning that the appliance does not cool. However, the power will continue to flow.

Switching on again

If the running operation has been interrupted, the freezer can not be restarted immediately. It is interrupted,

• if you set the thermostat control (4) to "OFF".
• if you unplug the mains plug from the socket.
  – in the event of a power failure.

- Wait 4 to 5 minutes before restarting the chest freezer.

If the lid of your freezer does not open again after closing, it has formed a vacuum inside. Wait for 1 to 2 minutes, and then the lid can be easily opened again.

Thermostat control

CAUTION

Health hazard!

The appliance may not operate properly if exposed to low ambient temperatures for extended periods of time. This can then lead to an increase in temperature inside the appliance.

- Abide by the specified ambient temperature (see “Climate category” on page GB-23).

You can adjust the temperature in the chest freezer with the thermostat control (4). Select a cooling capacity between "1" and "6", with the setting "6" being the coldest temperature.

The freezer is designed for a specific ambient temperature (see "Climate category on page GB-23). The power consumption and the temperature in the chest freezer can increase if

– the ambient temperature is exceeded or goes too low,
– the lid of the chest freezer is opened often or for too long.

1. Set the thermostat control (4) to the average cooling capacity "4". This setting is sufficient for normal ambient temperatures if you do not open the lid of the freezer for long and always close it properly.

2. Turn the thermostat towards "1" to reduce the cooling capacity.

3. To set a lower temperature turn the thermostat towards "6".

4. Adjust the temperature in the freezer according to the ambient temperature (e.g. in summer towards "6") and the amount of stored food.

You ideally need a freezer thermometer to be able to control the cooling efficiency. Put it in one of the freezer baskets (2). The ideal temperature is -18^ C. If you set the thermostat control (4) to "OFF", the chest freezer is not switched off. The compressor will not work then, but the appliance's power will still be flowing.

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.

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 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 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 refrigerating appliance (see page GB-23 for maximum storage time in case of malfunction).
  ■ After a malfunction, check whether the stored foodstuffs are still edible. Consume 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 area 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 area.

Health hazard!

Contaminated foods 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.
■ 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.

Freezer baskets

Line drawing of a kitchen sink with a rack and a magnified inset showing the rack structure (no text or symbols)

The freezer baskets (2) make sorting easier. They are hung on the chest frame by the handle. To remove frozen food that is stored underneath the freezer baskets, slide them aside. Use the freezer baskets for small portions of frozen food such as frozen herbs or ice cream.

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.

Preparing the 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 area.
• Carbonated drinks are not suitable for freezing because the carbon dioxide escapes during freezing.

Suitable packaging

Packaging is important when deep-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.
• Use plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tapes to seal.
• Label the frozen food by type, quantity, amount and expiry date. Use waterproof marker pens or adhesive labels wherever possible.

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% volume) should be frozen; make sure that it is tightly sealed.

How to pack the freezer properly

Maximum freezing capacity

Adhere to the maximum freezing capacity. You will find information about “Freezing capacity in kg/24 hours” in the data sheet on page GB-23.

Freeze smaller quantities

• Up to 2 kg: Once the freezer temperature is -18°C, you can freeze fresh, room-temperature foods.
  • Over 2 kg: Keep fresh goods out of contact with existing frozen foods as they could start to thaw. If contact with stored food can not 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 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 times on the packaging.

Preparing ice cubes

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Incorrect handling can lead to risks of causing food poisoning.

■ Use only fresh drinking water to make ice cubes.

- Fill an ice cube container 34 full with fresh drinking water and place it horizontally in the freezer compartment.

The ice cubes are best removed by bending the ice cube tray slightly or holding it under running water for a short while.

Defrosting food

Observe the following basic rules when defrosting food:

• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  – Always defrost meat, poultry and fish in the refrigerator. Make sure that the frozen food is not immersed in its own thawing liquid.
• 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 form in this way.
• If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion you need and immediately close the rest of the pack. This prevents "freezer burn" and reduces ice formation on the remaining food.

Cook or use thawed foods as soon as possible. Dispose of the defrosting liquid.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

Health hazard!

■ Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

Risk of electric shock!

■ Before cleaning, pull the mains plug out of the socket.
■ Make sure that no cleaning water penetrates into the ventilation slots, into the electrical parts and into the defrost water drain.

Check and clean the cover seals

NOTICE

The door seals can get damaged by improper handling.

• The door seals are sensitive to oil and grease – making the rubber porous and brittle. Only clean using clean water.
  ■ Only use soft cloths.

The cover seals must be checked regularly so that no air can enter the chest freezer.

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 in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.

Clean exterior

NOTICE

The door seals can get damaged by improper handling.

■ Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent or abrasive cleaners. These attack the plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with neutral pH are recommended.
■ Use care products only on the outer surfaces.
■ Never spray the device with a water jet (e.g. high-pressure cleaner).
■ Only use soft cloths.

• Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
• Wipe dry.
• Regularly remove dust deposits from the ventilation grilles on the back and on the right hand side of the chest freezer to minimise energy consumption.

Interior lighting

The LED interior lighting is maintenance-free and not replaceable.

Defrosting and cleaning the chest freezer

WARNING

Risk of explosion and injury!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to serious injuries and damage!

■ The thermal insulation of your appliance is made of sensitive insulating material. Therefore, do not use any electrical heating equipment, ice scrapers, knives, defrosting sprays, boiling water or any kind of aid with an naked flame, for example candles, to speed up the defrosting process. The thermal insulation and the interior are scratch- and heat-sensitive and can melt.

Health hazard!

An increase in the temperature of the frozen food during defrosting can shorten the shelf-life of the frozen food.

■ Ensure that the frozen food is kept sufficiently cool during defrosting.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to skin damage and injuries.

■ Never touch the inside walls or frozen food with wet hands. Injuries can also occur with dry hands though.
■ Use a dry towel to remove the frozen food.

NOTICE

When cleaning, please note:

■ Never use soap, sharp, granular, soda or solvent-based or abrasive cleaning agents. All-purpose cleaners with neutral pH are recommended.
■ The door seals can be damaged by unsuitable cleaning agents. Use care products only on the outer surfaces.
■ Use only soft cloths for cleaning.
■ Defrost the appliance before it forms a layer of ice and frost of more than 5 mm. Excessive ice formation inside the appliance can break the door.
■ Do not use any mechanical devices or means other than those recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate defrosting.

NOTICE

Defrost the freezer in winter when the outside temperature is low. You can then store the food on a balcony or similar while you are cleaning the freezer. Otherwise, you can wrap the frozen food thickly in newspaper and place it in another freezer in a cool room. You also have the option of using an insulated bag.

1. At least 3 hours before disconnecting, turn the thermostat control (4) to "6". This way, the frozen food gets a cold reserve and does not thaw so fast.
2. After 3 hours, turn the thermostat control to "0".
3. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
4. Take out the frozen food.
5. Unscrew the defrost water drain cap in the base of the freezer anti-clockwise to drain the defrost water.

1. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot, but not boiling, water in the freezer.
2. Place a bowl under the defrost water drain (11) to catch escaping defrost water.
3. Unscrew the cap from the defrost water drain anti-clockwise.

1. Leave the lid open during defrosting. The defrosting time depends on the thickness of the ice layer. Experience shows that you can start to clean the chest freezer after approximately one hour.

2. Carefully scrape off any stubborn ice with the plastic scraper (3).

3. Wipe the interior with warm rinsing water.
4. Clean the chest freezer (see figure "Check and clean the cover seals" on page GB-16).
5. After cleaning, thoroughly rub everything dry, including the door. Ventilate everything for a short time.
6. Screw the cap back into the defrost water drain at the base of the chest freezer.
7. Close the defrost water drain with the cap.
8. Plug the mains plug back into the socket and turn the thermostat control to "6".
9. Once a temperature of -18^ C is reached, you can re-pack your frozen food. Set the thermostat control to the desired cooling capacity.
