! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it
in an upright position and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricity mains, to make sure it
operates as it should.
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm
water and bicarbonate of soda before placing food
inside it.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start
approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The
compressor also starts each time the power supply is
cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
It is possible to select an operating temperature for the
Cool Care Zone compartment using the corresponding
button; the temperatures are represented by the icons on
the central part of the display (Ice Cream -12°C, Berries -
8°C, Alcohol -18°C). When the three icons are switched
off, it is operating as a normal freezer compartment.
The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the
refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer
compartment (these are standard food storage values).
The Cool Care Zone is automatically set to -12°C.
When the “I Care” function is active, the appliance
automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the
conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the
operation of this function is signalled by the text “AUTO”.
Whenever it is necessary to activate the “I Care” function
at temperatures that are different to the standard storage
values, the “I Care” button must be pressed as soon as
the function is activated and held down while the new

constant circulation of air inside the compartment, while
the internal temperature of the refrigerator is kept even
using the same compartment ventilation system.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to
collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The
system maintains an optimal humidity level in the
compartment, preserving the original quality of the food,
preventing the food from sticking together and making
defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration
cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with
the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food
tightly.
The Ever Fresh system is activated and deactivated by
means of a button on the refrigerator shelf, an external
button on the contro panel and a knob on the cover of
each container.

Adjust the temperature using the display.
• The Cool Care Zone is a compartment that allows
several types of food to be frozen at the most suitable
temperature (fruit, ice cream and alcoholic drinks);
the other two storage compartments (see overall
view) are designed to store frozen foods under normal
conditions.To freeze foods in safely and correctly,
follow the instructions below.
Cool Care Zone
The Cool Care Zone is a special compartment in the
freezer which allows the user to choose between 4
different operating modes that may be set according to
specific requirements and the type of food stored inside.
The temperature settings that may be selected are -8°C,
-12°C and -18°C, indicated by the icons depicting a
strawberry, an ice cream and a bottle on the control
panel. The Cool Care Zone is equipped with controls
that may be operated independently from the other
compartments inside the freezer, by the Cool Care Zone
may also be deactivated using the control panel, so that
it can then be used as a normal freezer compartment.
For a small quantity (less than half of the maximum
amount shown on the data plate):
if the Cool Care Zone is activated, place the food in
the two storage compartments, making sure that it
does not come into contact with any food that has
already been frozen; press the rapid-freezing SUPER
FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights up) and
close the door. The function deactivates automatically
after 24 hours or when the inside of the compartment
has reached the optimal temperature (the LED
switches off).
- if the Cool Care Zone is not activated the first
compartment may also be used: place the food inside
and repeat the same steps as detailed above.
For a large quantity (more than half of the maximum
amount shown on the data plate):
Deactivate the Cool Care Zone and empty it, hold
down the SUPER FREEZE button for a few seconds
until the corresponding LED begins to flash. After
approximately 24 hours the freezer will have reached
the optimal food freezing temperature. Once this time
has elapsed the LED remains lit constantly: place the
food inside the freezer and close the door. After 24
hours the food will have been frozen properly and the
function will be deactivated automatically (the LED
switches off); the food may now be moved into the
two lower compartments (so that the Cool Care Zone
can be used if necessary) or even left in the Cool
Care Zone compartment, which operates as a normal
storage compartment when the function has not been
activated.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because
they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4).
! Do not open the door during freezing.

ICE CARE tray
GB
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of
the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the
hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to
melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments
each mould fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes
come loose and take them out through the opening.

Recycling & Disposal Information
As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use
quality, recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the
door, plug and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure
that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
