7. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into  
your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause  
burns.  
8. Never clean the appliance or perform maintenance without  
first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the  
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which  
will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your  
appliance.  
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards  
(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark  
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.  
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi-  
nation of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).  
thermostat knob to the  
setting does not suffice to break  
all electrical contact with the mains.  
9. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,  
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent  
children who might play in or around the appliance from  
being locked inside.  
10. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of mal-  
function, consult the chapter entitled “TROUBLESHOOTING"  
to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem.  
Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the inter-  
nal components of the appliance.  
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even  
in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to  
leave it exposed to rain or storms.  
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refriger-  
ate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use  
contained in this manual.  
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet  
or with wet hands or feet.  
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension  
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is in-  
stalled between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not  
bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.  
11. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance  
must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because  
special tools are required for replacement.  
12. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment  
for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the  
plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.  
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appli-  
ance, especially with wet hands because this could result in  
injury.  
13. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –  
containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and  
perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit –  
the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump.  
For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local  
Organisation in charge of waste disposal.  
INSTALLATION  
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to  
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the  
appliance is installed correctly.  
Electrical Connection and Earthing  
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure  
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within  
the freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your homeand  
that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in ac-  
cordance with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket  
is not fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not  
be held liable for any damages and/or injuries arising out of  
the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or  
adapters.  
Ventilation  
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore,  
need to be ventilated properly. Avoid placing the appliance  
in direct sunlight, or next to an electric stove or similar  
appliance. Areas not adequately ventilated are not suitable  
for this appliance. Therefore it should be installed in a room  
with an opening (eg. window) that provides the appropriate  
amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room  
is not too humid.  
Position the appliance in such a way that you can  
access the socket where it is plugged in.  
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the  
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.  
For proper ventilation, you must leave:  
- at least 10cm between the top of any cabinets above it.  
- at least 5cm between the sides of the appliance to any  
adjacent cabinet/walls.  
Insufficient power?  
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum  
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating  
plate located within the freezer.  
Before making the electrical connection ...  
Away from Heat  
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly  
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, hob or the like.  
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the verti-  
cal upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting  
the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions  
properly.  
Level  
The appliance must be level. If the floor is not level, use the  
front adjustable feet to level the appliance.

'L' or coloured red or brown.  
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked 'N'  
or coloured Black or Blue.  
Changing the plug:  
If a 13amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be  
fitted with a 13amp fuse. A 15amp plug must be  
protected by a 15amp fuse, either in the plug or  
adaptor or at the distribution board.  
Removing the plug  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded  
plug and you should wish to remove it to add a  
longer cable or to re-route the mains cable through  
partitions, units etc. please ensure that either:  
If you are in any doubt about the electrical  
supply to your machine, consult a qualified  
electrician before use.  
-
The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-  
wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of  
approval.  
or

GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE  
After plugging in an switching on at the socket, make sure  
NOTICE  
the light is on inside the refrigerator compartment.  
Then turn the temperature control (A) to the 3 setting.  
After a few hours, you can place fresh food inside the  
refrigerator and frozen food inside the freezer.  
After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the  
upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be-  
fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee  
that it operates properly.  
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean  
the interior well with warm water and baking soda.  
How to use the refrigerator compartment  
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat-  
ing normally.  
The temperature control automatically regulates the  
temperature inside the appliance  
1 = minimum cold temperature  
5 = maximum cold temperature  
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.  
If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings  
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem-  
perature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting  
in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will  
lead to an increase in energy consumption.  
To avoid this situation, just turn the temperature  
control to a lower setting so that the appliance  
defrosts automatically.  
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and  
improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area”  
located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart-  
ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be  
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether  
the compressor is operating or not.  
The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is equipped  
with "A.I.R. System" (Advanced Integrated Refrigeration)  
which makes it possible to achieve optimal food storage while  
simplifying the use of the refrigerator, thanks to the following  
features:

-
Higher humidity level, this allows you to store food  
Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum  
storage time, any food, even the freshest will not remain ed-  
ible for any extended amount of time.  
-
Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store  
any longer than raw food.  
-
Do not place fluids in containers without covering them,  
this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the  
refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.  
-
Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food  
or other items in direct contact with the cooling area of the  
interior back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the  
food, increase energy consumption and facilitate the forma-  
tion of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

How to use the freezer compartment...  
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-  
For the preparation of food to be frozen, please  
consult a specialized manual.  
ommended that you divide food into small portions so that  
they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be  
clearly marked with the content and the date they were  
frozen.  
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure  
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tempera-  
ture within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen  
and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for  
approximately 9-14 hours.  
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily  
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.  
- Fill ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.  
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for a long  
peraiod of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures  
required for storage and storage life will be shorter. In this  
case frozen food should be used within a relatively short  
period of time.  
- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-  
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24  
hours) or to freeze it once again.  
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not  
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place  
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment,  
where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal  
for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conserva-  
tion depends on the speed of freezing.  
-The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is  
indicated on the rating plate situated inside the refrigerator  
compartment.  
- When using the appliance for the first time, or after it has  
been turned off, you can place food into it only after it has  
been running for 6-8 hours. Then put the fresh food into the  
the appropriate compartments and turn the temperature  
control (A) to setting 3. Freezing will be complete after  
approximately 24 hours.  
-
During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the  
freezer.  
ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
- Keep the Door Closed  
- Install the Appliance Correctly  
Open your doors only when necessary, remember that every  
time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To  
bring bring the temperature back to the proper level, the  
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming  
a substantial amount of energy.  
This means that the appliance should be installed away from  
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.  
- Correct temperature settings  
Set the refrigerator temperature to one of the middle settings.  
Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great  
deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the  
storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may  
ruin vegetables and cheese.  
- Check the Door Seals  
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they fit tightly against  
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.  
- No Hot Foods  
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the  
temperature significantly, allow food to cool to room  
temperature before storing.  
- Do not Overfill  
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air  
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air  
circulation and overwork the compressor.  
- Check you appliance for build up of ice  
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer  
and immediately defrost it if the layer becomes too thick.

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE  
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appli-  
ance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or  
turning off the general switch in your home).  
Cleaning and Special Maintenance  
Before cleaning the appliance, first switch off and  
remove the plug from the socket.  
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless  
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed  
containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills which  
could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove odours.  
- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli-  
ance. Cean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in  
warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is,  
among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have  
any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.  
- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents con-  
taining ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.  
- All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in  
warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them  
thoroughly before putting them back in the appliance.  
- When the appliance is not used for a long time, remember  
to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors open  
to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odors.  
- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior of  
the refrigerator is located at the back of the thermostat box.  
When replacing the lamp, unplug the appliance from the  
electrical socket, unscrew the burned out lamp and replace  
it with another with a wattage no higher than 15W (fig. 3).  
Defrosting  
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.  
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other  
than those recommended by the manufacturer to  
speed up the defrosting process.  
How to Defrost the Refrigerator  
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is chan-  
nelled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose  
(fig. 2). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make  
it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically  
check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located be-  
hind the fruit and vegetable crisper, keeping it clear so that  
the water drains properly.  
How to Defrost the Freezer  
- Remember to regularly remove the frost with the scraper  
provided (do not use knives or metal objects).  
- If the frost is more than 15 mm thick, the freezer must be  
defrosted.  
Proceed as follows:  
-
-
Turn the temperature control (A) to the setting.  
Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in news  
paper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool  
place.  
-
-
Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws  
completely.  
You can speed this process by placing containers of  
warm water in the compartment.  
Dry the compartment thoroughly.  
To start up the appliance again, move the temperature control  
to the original operating position.

Recycling & Disposal Information  
As part of HotpointÕs 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 risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut 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.
