This document describes the Hanseatic HKGK18560CNFDI fridge-freezer, a combination appliance designed for chilling and freezing food.
Function Description
The Hanseatic HKGK18560CNFDI is a fridge-freezer combination appliance. The refrigerator section is intended for chilling fresh food, short-term storage of deep-frozen food, and making ice cubes. The freezer section is designed for long-term storage of deep-frozen food at temperatures from -18 °C or colder. It features a "No Frost" system, which prevents ice buildup in the freezer compartment, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. The appliance also includes an "ECO mode" for energy-efficient operation, a "SUPER mode" for rapid cooling/freezing, and a "Holiday mode" to save energy when the appliance is not in active use for an extended period.

Usage Features
Control Panel: The appliance features a control panel with a digital display for both fridge (18) and freezer (19) temperatures. It includes buttons for:
- ECO mode (26): For energy-efficient operation.
- Holiday mode (20): Reduces energy consumption when the appliance is not in active use for an extended period.
- Button lock (21): Prevents accidental changes to settings.
- SUPER mode (25): Activates rapid cooling/freezing.
- FRIDGE button (22): Adjusts the temperature in the fridge compartment.
- FREEZER button (23): Adjusts the temperature in the freezer compartment.
- MODE/LOCK 3s button (24): Used to activate/deactivate individual operating modes and to lock/unlock the control panel.
Temperature Setting:
- Fridge Compartment: Temperature can be set between +2 °C and +8 °C. Pressing the FRIDGE button cycles through the available settings.
- Freezer Compartment: Temperature can be set between -14 °C and -22 °C. Pressing the FREEZER button cycles through the available settings.
- Fresh Food Drawer: A slider (27) allows adjustment of temperature and humidity in the fresh food drawer (11) to suit the stored contents (e.g., fresh fish, raw meat, fruits, or vegetables).
Operating Modes:
- ECO Mode: When activated, the appliance automatically sets the fridge and freezer temperatures to optimal values for ambient temperature, reducing energy consumption.
- SUPER Mode: This mode rapidly cools the fridge to +2 °C and the freezer to -25 °C. It is useful for quickly chilling newly added food. The mode automatically deactivates after 5 hours.
- Holiday Mode: When activated, the fridge temperature is set to +17 °C, and the freezer temperature remains at its previously set value. This mode is suitable for periods of absence to save energy while keeping the freezer operational.
Food Storage:
- Fridge Compartment: Includes glass shelves (16), door shelves (3, 4, 17), a fresh food drawer (11), and fruit/vegetable drawers (13). Food should be stored in appropriate containers or wrapped to maintain freshness and prevent odors.
- Freezer Compartment: Contains large drawers (10) for organized storage of frozen food.
- Quality Maintenance: To maintain the flavor and freshness of food, use special plastic containers or food-grade films. Ensure air can circulate freely in the fridge. Do not place food directly against the rear wall to prevent freezing.
Freezing Food:
- Preparation: Food should be prepared for freezing by dividing it into portions, wrapping it in suitable packaging (e.g., plastic clips, rubber bands, adhesive tape), and labeling it with the date.
- Quantity: The maximum freezing capacity is 5 kg per 24 hours.
- Placement: Place food in the freezer drawers (9) and (10).
- Thawing: Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator, at room temperature, or in the microwave. Do not refreeze thawed food.
Ice Cube Preparation:
- Fill the ice cube container (1x) with potable water up to ¾ level and place it in the freezer drawer.
- Ice cubes can be easily removed by bending the ice cube container slightly or holding it briefly under running water.
