For Your Safety

For your safety, read the following advice:

The fridge freezer cooling system contains a small amount of gas which is

environmentally friendly but flammable. To avoid any risk :-

●Install the fridge freezer following the installation instructions and ensure

that ventilation openings are kept clear of obstruction.

●Take care when installing or moving the fridge freezer to avoid damaging

the pipes on the rear.

●If you suspect a leak, do not switch on the fridge freezer, but open the

windows and doors to ventilate the room.

●Do not use any electrical devices inside the freezer, for instance for

defrosting.

●Do not use any mechanical devices for defrosting other than any which may

have been supplied with the freezer as they may cause damage.

●Only use this fridge freezer for storing domestic foodstuffs.

When installing your fridge freezer :-

●Ensure that the mains cable is not trapped underneath or behind the fridge

freezer when you install or move it.

●Do not stack any other appliance on top of this fridge freezer as they may

damage the fridge or become unstable.

When using your fridge freezer :-

●Do not sit or stand on top of your fridge freezer.

●Do not store poisonous, flammable or dangerous substances in your fridge

freezer.

●Do not use aerosol sprays for defrosting or cleaning your fridge freezer.

If you sell the fridge freezer, pass on this booklet to the new owner.

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Installation

Location & Air Circulation

Locate your fridge freezer away from sources of heat e.g.

cookers, radiators, direct sunlight as extreme temperature

will affect its performance.

Allow a minimum 100mm (4 inches) between the top of

the fridge freezer and the ceiling or the underside of a

wall cupboard.

Providing you follow the recommended ventilation

requirements you will :-

●Prolong the life of the fridge freezer.

●Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of

the fridge freezer.

●Minimise the running costs.

●Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.

Minimum space required to open door

The fridge freezer needs a space of 600mm (24 inches) in front to allow the door

to open.

When positioning the fridge freezer next to a unit, a gap of 30mm (11/4inch) can

be left at the hinge side of the door to allow the easy removal of furniture. If

preferred the fridge freezer can be positioned so that a gap is not left.This will

restrict how far the door can be opened but the furniture can still be removed

(see diagrams below).The door hinge side can be changed to make it easier to

open (see ‘Door Reversal’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).

Levelling:

Level the fridge freezer when it is in its final location by adjusting the front feet, until

firm contact is made with the floor. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the

door aligned which helps the fridge freezer run reliably and efficiently.

Note: Before plugging in and switching on, leave the fridge freezer standing

in its final location for at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Bottle Retainer:

(not applicable to all models)

To fit the bottle rack retainer:

Locate the retainer groove at one end of

the bottle rack and then gradually press

down along the top edge until the

retainer is fully in the home position.

Installation

Electrical Supply

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after

installation.

Fuses

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to replace the

fuse, only use those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to BS1362.

Changing the Plug

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket.

WARNING: To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded plug into a socket

anywhere else.

IMPORTANT WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

FOLLOWING CODE :

Green/Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not correspond with

the colour of the markings identifying terminals in the plug. You should therefore

wire it as shown above.

Changing the Mains Lead

This appliance is fitted with a special mains lead. If you need to replace the mains

lead due to damage, one can be bought from Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS,

back page).

It is strongly advised that this work is carried out by a qualified electrician.

CE Marking certifies that this appliance conforms to the following EEC

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Controls

The left hand control wheel on the front panel

adjusts the internal fridge compartment

temperature.

The internal temperature should be 5˚C or colder although some sections such as the

salad bin will be slightly warmer.

The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the fridge freezer, the

room temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked

by a 3 on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the

control wheel using a coin to avoid damage:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

You can check the temperature of the fridge freezer compartments by using a Fridge

Freezer Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail

Order Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS back page).

WARNING: Do not use a mercury filled thermometer, as breakage would cause a

health hazard.

Your fridge freezer must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below

6˚C or above 38˚C for prolonged periods, as the internal fridge temperature will not

be maintained.

CONTROLS

The right hand control wheel on the front panel

adjusts the internal freezer compartment

temperature.

The internal temperature should be -18˚C or

colder.

The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the fridge freezer, the

room temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked

by a 3 on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the

control wheel using a coin to avoid damage:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

Indicator Lights

There are two amber lights which indicate functions are selected:

●The amber fast freeze light indicates that the fast freeze button has been

pressed on. By pressing this button ON, the freezer motor will run continuously

for extra cooling.

●The amber holiday light (Models FFA81, FFM81, FFA71 & FFM71 only)

indicates that the holiday mode is set.

There are two red lights which warn of a rise in temperature in the freezer

compartment:

●The red high temperature warning light will come on when the fridge freezer is

first switched on or when the temperature inside the compartment rises above

the correct storage temperature. It will go out as soon as the compartment

returns to its normal storage temperature.

The red light may come on for a short period when opening the freezer door to

load or unload food, in this case storage times will not be affected.

If there has been a power cut resulting in a rise in freezer compartment

temperature, the red high temperature warning light will come on as soon as the

mains power returns. It will go out as soon as the compartment returns to its

normal storage temperature.

Avoid opening compartment doors during a power cut, the freezer insulation will

continue to protect your food. However if the power cut continues,there is a risk of your

frozen food beginning to defrost due to the rise in temperature.

●The red food defrost alert light (Models FFA81, FFM81, FFA71 & FFM71 only)

will also come on when the mains power is restored to warn there has been a

power cut and the freezer compartment temperature has risen to an unsafe level

allowing partial defrosting of stored food. If this light is ON, food should be either

cooked and eaten within 24 hours, cooked and refrozen or thrown away.

The red food defrost alert light is a particularly useful warning light if you were

out at the time of the power cut. The light will remain on until cancelled. It can

only be cancelled by pressing the button alongside it.

Check the TROUBLESHOOTING section if you have any problems with these indicator

lights.
