●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.

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 30mm (11/4inch) between the top of
the fridge and the underside of the worktop.
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
Levelling:
Level the fridge 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 run reliably and efficiently.
Before plugging in and switching on, leave the fridge standing in its final location for
at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.
Fitting a Fridge under a Work Top
To minimise running costs Hotpoint recommend fitting a vent to the rear of your
worktop, which is available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts & Accessories Mail Order
Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).
WARNING: If there is less than 30mm clearance above the fridge, a vent must be
fitted to provide adequate ventilation above your fridge.

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.

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
6
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.

Making the best use of your Fridge
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.

USEFUL ADVICE
Advice on Adjusting Shelves
Make the most of the interior storage
space by repositioning shelves to suit the
various heights of individual items you
wish to store.
Note : Only the front half of the
shelf can be repositioned, the back
half must remain in its original
position.
Split glass shelf
The split shelf can be used as a standard shelf but also as
two half shelves.
The front half can be repositioned above or below to
enable storage of larger items.
Commodity and Bottle Racks
Commodity racks can be repositioned in the door to suit your storage requirements.
The lidded commodity rack is recommended for the storage of dairy items, such as
butter, margarine and cheese.
To remove, lift rack vertically to release from fixing supports.
To replace, align grooves on either side of the rack above fixing supports and push
down until secure.
In order to get the best results from the bottle retainer it is advised that it be
positioned centrally on the bottle rack.

No manual defrosting required
The fridge compartment will defrost automatically. During defrost periods water
droplets form on the interior back wall of your Larder Fridge and refreeze afterwards.

not come into contact with the interior back wall of your Larder Fridge.
