For Your Safety

For your safety, read the following advice:

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

friendly but flammable. To avoid any risk :-

●Install the fridge following the installation instructions and ensure

that ventilation openings are kept clear of obstruction.

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

the pipes on the rear.

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

windows and doors to ventilate the room.

●Do not use any mechanical or electrical devices inside the fridge, for

instance for manual defrosting.

●Only use this fridge for storing domestic foodstuffs.

When installing your fridge :-

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

when you install or move it.

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

damage the fridge or become unstable.

When using your fridge :-

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

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

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

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Installation

Location & Air Circulation

Locate your fridge 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 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.

●Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of

the fridge.

●Minimise the running costs.

●Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.

Minimum space required to open door

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

When positioning the fridge 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 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 diagram below).

The door hinge side can be changed to make it easier to open (see ‘Door Reversal’

in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).

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

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

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.

INSTALLATION

Controls

Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge Compartment

The control wheel on the front of the worktop 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, the room

temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked by a 3

and N on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the

control wheel:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

You can check the temperature of the fridge compartment 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 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.

USEFUL ADVICE

Making the best use of your Fridge

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

To ensure that your fridge 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 covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour

transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers

with lids are ideal.

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

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

fridge, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

Storing Food in a Fridge

●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 interior back wall of the fridge, or covers the defrost

gutter drain hole below this.

●Use the different storage zones inside your fridge compartment to store a

wide variety of food items.

Your larder is designed and constructed with good door sealing to make it

operate as efficiently as possible. For this reason, after closing the door, it may

be difficult to open again immediately.This is not a fault. If you wait about 2

minutes for the internal and external pressures to equalise the door can be

opened more easily.
