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).

CONTROLS

What the display shows during normal operation:

Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge or the Freezer Compartment

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

Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Part 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.

●Use the Compartment Select button to choose either the fridge compartment or the freezer

compartment.

●Press the Temp Change button to select a different temperature for the compartment. The

temperature will decrease, getting 1˚C colder for each press of the button, until the required

setting is reached or the coldest possible setting is reached (2˚C for the fridge compartment

and -25˚C for the freezer compartment).

●Once the coldest possible setting is reached, pressing the Temp Change button again will

return the temperature selection to the maximum setting (6˚C for the fridge compartment

and -18˚C for the freezer compartment).

Note: The display light will come on when you press any button and it will stay on for 12

seconds.

Controls

To set up holiday mode:

1. Remove any food from the fridge compartment that will deteriorate while you are away.

Make sure the fridge is clean, see ‘Cleaning’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section.

2. Close the door.

3. Press the holiday button and the holiday ‘Hd’ symbol and the suitcase symbol will show in the

display window.

To reset to normal operation:

1. Press the holiday button OR open the fridge door. Both holiday symbols will go out, to show

holiday mode is cancelled.

2. The fridge compartment will return to the temperature setting.

Note : Opening the door, pressing the holiday button or pressing any other button at any time

after holiday mode has been set will turn the function off.

The bottom compartment drawer, should be used to freeze fresh food. Transfer already frozen food

to one of the upper compartment drawers.

During the fast freeze process the chiller bleed restrictor (refer to page 12 for illustration) should be

inserted into the chiller bleed opening. This will prevent the chiller drawer and salad bins from going

below their ideal storage temperatures. At the end of the fast freeze process, remove the restrictor

and keep until required.

-Before loading 2kg or more of fresh food, select fast freeze for the required pre-freeze time

(see chart below).

-If freezing up to 2kg of fresh food just select fast freeze when loading.

Once the fresh food is loaded leave fast freeze on for 24 hours to freeze the food as quickly as

possible.

Maximum freezing capacity in 24hrs: 10kg

Note: Don’t forget to turn fast freeze off after 24 hours from the introduction of fresh food to be

frozen.

However, fast freeze will turn off automatically after 48 hours if you forget.

CONTROLS

Freezer High Temperature Warning symbol and buzzer

Check the TROUBLESHOOTING section if you have any problems with these warning symbols.

The freezer High Temperature warning symbol 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 symbol 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 freezer High

Temperature warning symbol 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 (see FOOD DEFROST ALERT below).

Note: To avoid unnecessary concern the buzzer is automatically silenced the very first time

you switch the fridge freezer on.

A buzzer will sound when the freezer High

Temperature warning symbol comes on. You can

silence the buzzer by pressing the cancel button and

the bell symbol will go out on the display. The freezer

High Temperature warning symbol will remain on the

display until the compartment returns to its normal

storage temperature.

The Food Defrost Alert symbol will come on when the mains power has been restored after a power

cut and the freezer compartment has returned to its normal storage temperature.

Food Defrost Alert symbol and buzzer

The Food Defrost Alert symbol will be on the display,

along with a reading of the temperature the freezer

compartment had risen to eg. -2˚C

This warns you that there has been a power cut, during which the freezer compartment temperature

rose to an unsafe level, allowing partial defrosting of stored food.

If this symbol is on the display, food should be either cooked and eaten within 24 hours, cooked and

refrozen or thrown away.

The Food Defrost Alert symbol is a particularly useful warning if you were out at the time of the

power cut. The symbol will remain on until cancelled manually by pressing the Food Defrost Alert

button. On cancelling the Food Defrost Alert symbol, the display will revert to the normal storage

temperature.

A buzzer will also sound. You can silence the buzzer

by pressing the cancel button and the bell symbol

will go out on the display.

Useful Advice

Note:

The Rating Plate, which lists the appliance

Model Number and Serial Number can be

found near the bottom of the freezer

compartment on the interior wall.

Fast Freeze

USEFUL ADVICE

To ensure that your fridge freezer operates as efficiently as possible :

●Follow food packaging“best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers advice on a suitable

maximum storage time.

●Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transference.

Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are ideal.

●Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’ and place in freezer

as soon as possible after arriving home.

●Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

●Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in the fridge or

freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

●Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food freezes quickly and

so that its quality does not deteriorate.

●Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise they may freeze

together.

Making the best use of your Fridge Freezer

Note : Always use the handle provided to open the fridge / freezer door.

How Frost Free works

The frost free system completely eliminates the need for defrosting.

A fan circulates air, this helps to remove moisture from the compartments, therefore preventing the

build up of ice.

It is normal to hear the fan when the fridge freezer is cooling.

Additional benefits of the frost free system include:

●More even temperatures throughout the freezer.

●Faster cooling times.

Note: Care must be taken when

storing food items in the top of the

fridge compartment.

Make sure items are not stored too

close to the moulding at the rear of

the compartment as very cold air

enters the appliance at this point and

may cause certain containers to split.

top of fridge compartment

●Pack and store cooked and fresh food separately.

●Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and

dairy products to avoid contamination of dripping food juices.

●Wrap cheese in greaseproof paper and place in an airtight container or polythene bag.

Bring to room temperature before consuming.

●Empty left over canned food into a covered storage containers before placing in the fridge.

●Position food to allow cold air to circulate freely, ensuring nothing comes into contact with the

back of the fridge compartment.

●Use the different storage zones inside your fridge compartment to store a wide variety of food

items.

Useful Advice

STORAGE ZONES
