Installation.  
Placing the Fridge Freezer:  
Place the Fridge Freezer on a solid base.  
Some have adjustable feet at the front, use  
them to level the Fridge Freezer.  
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE SHOULD  
ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED  
ELECTRICIAN IN COMPLIANCE WITH  
THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CURRENT STAN-  
DARDS AND REGULATIONS.  
Before Fitting:  
Before connecting to the electricity supply  
leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours to  
allow the cooling system to settle.  
Please read through this section before  
starting any work.  
Two spacers supplied with the Fridge  
Freezer must be fitted onto the upper edge  
of the condenser, preventing the Fridge  
Freezer being installed too close to the wall.  
You will need to adjust both spacers  
depending on the distance of the condenser  
from the wall. To adjust, turn spacers  
accordingly and fix them to the condenser.  
Choosing a location:  
The power socket should be in a readily  
accessible position, adjacent to the Fridge  
Freezer.  
Place the Fridge Freezer in a dry and regu-  
larly ventilated room.  
Allowed ambient temperature depends on  
the model (class) of the appliance and is  
stated on the rating plate.  
In case the Fridge Freezer is exposed to  
temperatures lower than +16°C, the opera-  
tion of the refrigerator is normal, yet the  
temperature in the freezer compartment is  
raised, which shortens the storage time of  
frozen foods. Your Fridge Freezer has an  
integrated switch for intensive cooling, refer  
to instructions in the Controls section (page  
7).  
Never place the Fridge Freezer near heat  
emitting devices (eg. cooker, radiator, water  
heater or similar devices) and do not  
expose it to direct sunlight. In such a posi-  
tion your Fridge Freezer will have to work  
harder and will cost more to run and could  
be damaged by the heat.  
Ensure that you provide adequate air  
circulation around the Fridge Freezer.  
Behind, there should be at least 200cm2 of  
free space and any units positioned above  
the Fridge Freezer should be at least 5cm  
away.  
WARNING:  
The appliance contains a small quantity of  
the enviromentally-friendly but flammable  
refrigerant R600a.  
Ensure that the refrigeration tubing is not  
damaged during transportation and  
installation. Leaking refrigerant may cause  
eye injuries or ignite.  
If refrigerant is leaking out:  
- Avoid naked flames and ignition sources  
near the leakage.  
- Unplug the appliance and ventilate the  
room for several minutes.  
WARNING: KEEP VENTILATION OPEN-  
INGS IN THE APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE, OR  
IN THE BUILT-IN STRUCTURE, CLEAR OF  
OBSTRUCTION.

Getting your Appliance ready for use.  
Before connecting to the mains electricity  
supply leave the appliance to stand for 2  
hours to allow the cooling system to settle.  
Clean the appliance, and be thorough,  
especially in the interior. (see Caring for  
your Appliance’ - Cleaning, page 11).  
Final Check:  
Before you start using your appliance check  
that:  
- The appliance is level.  
- It is thoroughly dry inside.  
- There is adequate air circulation.  
- Accessories are correctly placed in their  
positions.  
Starting:  
Insert the plug into the wall socket and  
switch on the electricity supply. When you  
open the refrigerator door, the light will  
come on.  
There is a control dial situated on the right  
handside of the refrigerator interior.  
Turning the dial, clockwise from STOP (0)  
to a higher setting will start the appliance  
working.  
You will hear a noise as the compressor  
starts up.  
Running in the Compressor:  
Your appliance is operated by a compressor  
which switches on and off in order to  
maintain the internal temperature.  
The compressor requires a running in  
period of up to 2 months. During this time  
it has to work a little harder and may result  
in more noise than usual.  
Noise levels are also determined as to the  
location of the appliance, what is stored  
and where the items are placed,  
Whether the compressor is running  
or not, it is normal to hear sounds  
created by the liquid and gases sealed  
within the system.

ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE  
OR TAMPER WITH THE CONTROLS.  
The appliance is controlled with a  
thermostat knob, situated on the right  
handside of the refrigerator interior.  
Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0)  
position towards 7 and backwards.  
TEMPERATURE SELECTION -  
Higher settings on the knob (towards 7)  
mean lower temperatures (colder) in all  
compartments of the appliance.  
Temperature in the interior of the appliance  
may even drop below 0°C.  
When the ambient temperature is normal,  
we recommend medium setting.  
Changes of the ambient temperature affect  
temperature in the interior of the appliance  
(choose the correct setting of the thermostat  
knob).  
In STOP (0) position the appliance does not  
operate (the cooling system is switched off),  
yet power supply is not interrupted (the light  
is on when you open the door).

Storing Food.  
FREEZING FRESH FOODS -  
the storage baskets.  
• Carefully select food you intend to  
freeze: it should be of high quality and  
thoroughly cleaned before freezing it.  
• Use correct packaging suitable for the  
freezer.  
• If you have a model with integrated switch  
for intensive cooling, switch it on some 24  
hours before loading the appliance with  
larger amounts of fresh foods and turn  
the thermostat knob to position 4-6. After  
24 hours load the appliance with fresh  
food packages. After loading, wait for  
another 24 hours and switch off the  
switch and turn the thermostat knob to  
required position (see "Temperature selec-  
tion").  
- The packaging should be air tight and  
should not leak since this could cause  
substantial vitamin loss and  
dehydration of foods.  
- Foils and bags should be soft enough  
to wrap tightly around foods.  
• Mark packages with the following data:  
- The kind and quantity of foods.  
- The date of loading.  
• Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small  
quantities to ensure that the food freezes  
quicker and its quality does not  
deteriorate during thawing and  
preparation.  
• Dry packs of food to be frozen so that  
they do not freeze together.  
• The quantity of fresh foods that can be  
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is  
indicated on the rating plate (freezing  
capacity). If the loaded amount is too  
large, the quality of freezing is reduced,  
which affects the quality of frozen foods.  
• Don’t put liquid filled bottles or sealed  
cans containing fizzy drinks into the  
freezer as they may burst.  
STORING FROZEN FOODS -  
Store commercially frozen foods according to  
the manufacturer’s recommended storage  
instructions as indicated on the packaging.  
When shopping select frozen foods last and  
be careful in choosing adequately packed  
foods. Wrap frozen food when you buy it  
and put it in the freezer as soon as possible.  
Don’t buy packages of food with a frost  
layer, this indicates that the package has  
been at least partially thawed before.  
• Don’t try to keep food which has thawed,  
it should be eaten within 24 hours, or  
cooked and refrozen.  
• Don’t give children lollipops and water  
ices directly from the freezer, the low  
temperature may cause ’freezer burns’  
on their lips.  
• Never store poisonous, dangerous  
substances, products that contain  
flammable gasses (eg. aerosols) or  
exposive substances in the appliance.  
Explosion hazard! Your appliance has  
been designed for the storage of edible  
foodstuffs only.  
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD -  
Partially thawed or defrosted food should be  
used as soon as possible.  
Cold air preserves the food but it does not  
destroy micro-organisms which rapidly  
activate after defrosting and make foods  
perishable.  
FREEZING PROCEDURE -  
• If you have a model without the integrat-  
ed switch for intensive cooling, turn the  
thermostat knob to position 4-6 some 24  
hours before loading. After 24 hours load  
the freezer shelf with fresh food packages.  
Some 24 hours after loading, turn the  
thermostat knob to operating position if  
necessary (see "Temperature selection"),  
and then reload the frozen packages into

Caring for your Appliance.  
DEFROSTING:  
MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER-  
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer  
is 3 - 5mm thick you should defrost the  
freezer.  
• A few hours before defrosting, set the  
thermostat to position 7, so that  
packages are well frozen.  
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE  
REFRIGERATOR-  
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,  
because ice deposited on the interior back  
wall is defrosted automatically.  
Ice is deposited on the interior back wall  
during the compressor operation, later on  
when the compressor is not operating, the  
ice defrosts and water droplets collect and  
drain through the outlet in the interior back  
wall into the drain pan situated above the  
compressor, from where it evaporates.  
Reset the thermostat to STOP (0) position  
and disconnect the power supply.  
Empty the freezer, wrap frozen food in a  
blanket and put in a cool place.  
• Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove  
(the defrost water outlet) in the bottom  
of the appliance and place a vessel  
underneath to collect the defrost water.  
Defrosting is accelerated if the door is  
left open.  
MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE  
REFRIGERATOR-  
As long as the defrost water runs to the  
channel and through the outlet to the drain  
pan on the compressor, automatic  
defrosting of the appliance is assured.  
In the case of ice formation on the interior  
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they  
may cause damage to the plastic parts  
and may be hazardous to health.  
DO NOT scrape off frost or dislodge frozen

compartment with a knife or other sharp  
implement. You could damage the refriger-  
ant tubing. Leaking refrigerant may ignite  
or cause eye injuries.  
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0)  
position and leave the refrigerator door  
open.  
Never use electric devices for defrosting  
and do not scrape the ice with sharp  
objects.  
WARNING: DO NOT USE  
MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEVICES  
OR ANY OTHER MEANS TO ACCELERATE  
THE DEFROSTING PROCESS, OTHER  
THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED BY THE  
MANUFACTURER.  
After defrosting is completed, turn the  
thermostat knob to the desired position and  
close the refrigerator door.  
The cause of increased ice formation may  
be one of the following:  
- The door does not seal well. (Clean the  
gasket if it is contaminated or replace it  
if it is damaged).  
- The door was frequently opened or was  
left open for a long period.  
- The food stored in the refrigerator was  
warm.  
- Food or packaging is touching the  
interior rear wall.

• Remove the detachable accessories in  
the interior of the appliance and wash in  
warm soapy water, dry thoroughly.  
• Wipe the interior and fittings with a clean  
cloth wrung out in either a solution of  
one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to  
one pint water or Milton sterilising fluid,  
diluted according to manufacturers’  
instructions.  
GOING AWAY:  
If you do not intent to use the appliance for  
a long period, set the thermostat knob to  
the STOP (O) position, switch off at the  
socket outlet and pull out the plug.  
Remove all food, follow defrosting instruc-  
tions (page 10) and clean the appliance.  
Leave the door ajar to prevent the accumu-  
lation of odours.  
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB:

and untrained service people may put you  
in danger, could damage the appliance and  
might mean that you lose cover under the  
Guarantee.  
The appliance won’t work.  
Check the plug is firmly positioned in the wall  
socket and the power supply is switched on.  
Check the power supply with another  
appliance.  
Check the fuse.  
There has been a power failure.  
The appliance is making alot of noise.  
DO NOT OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR.  
If power does not return within 16 hours, food  
should be removed from the freezer and either  
cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked  
and refrozen.  
Check the appliance is stabilised.  
Ensure the appliance is not touching the wall  
or kitchen units.  
Continuous Operation of the Compressor Has the door been opened frequently or  
left open for a long period of time?  
The door is not closed properly/does not seal  
properly (clean the gasket if it is contaminated  
or replace it if it is damaged).  
Have you observed the maximum storage  
quantities?  
Check there is adequate air circulation.  
Water is leaking from the refrigerator.  
Check that the defrost water outlet is not  
blocked. (If blocked a plastic straw can be used  
to clear).  
Check that stored food or packaging is not in  
contact with the cooling plate on the interior

If it still doesn’t work see ’Changing the Light  
Bulb’ page 11.  
The freezer door is difficult to open.  
If you have just closed the freezer door, it  
may be particularly difficult to open again  
immediately. This is partly due to the  
difference in temperature between the room  
and the internal compartment. Wait 5 minutes  
for the external and internal pressure to  
equalise and try again.

Hotpoint Guarantee  
From the moment your appliance is delivered, Hotpoint guar-  
antees it for five years.  
Hotpoint appliances carry a fully inclusive 12 months parts  
and labour guarantee plus FREE replacement parts for the  
first five years provided that they are fitted by our own  
Service Engineer (evidence will be required of date and  
place of purchase).  
All Hotpoint servicing is carried out by our own Service  
Organisation located throughout the United Kingdom and  
Republic of Ireland. We will be happy to deal with any  
problems which you may have.  
Our Engineers ensure every effort to avoid damage to floor  
coverings and adjacent units when carrying out repairs/service  
work, but in locations where the Engineer advises you that it  
will be impossible to move appliances without risk of damage,  
they will only proceed with your approval that no liability is  
accepted.

Republic of Ireland and is subject to provision(s) that your  
appliance:  
Has been used solely for domestic purposes and is on  
domestic premises ie. not for commercial or trade use.  
Has been used solely in accordance with this instruction  
book.  
Has been properly connected to a suitable electrical  
supply voltage as stated on the appliance rating plate.
