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.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
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 appliance,  
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.  
7. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into  
your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause  
burns.  
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.  
to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is

Replacing fuse covers:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA  
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used  
and the fuse cover re-fitted.  
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used  
until a replacement is obtained.  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may  
not correspond with the coloured markings  
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:

Replacement fuse covers:  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of  
the correct colour as indicated by the coloured  
marking or the colour that is embossed in words on  
the base of 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.  
Changing the plug:  
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:  
- The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-  
wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of  
approval.  
If you are in any doubt about the electrical  
supply to your machine, consult a qualified  
electrician before use.  
or  
- The mains cable is wired directly into a  
13amp cable outlet, controlled by a  
switch (in compliance with BS 5733)

GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE  
After plugging the appliance into the socket, make sure that  
NOTICE  
the light is on inside the appliance and then turn the tem-  
perature control (A) to the “3” setting. After a few hours  
have passed, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator  
compartment and frozen foods into the freezer.  
After the appliance has been delivered, leave it to stand  
in its upright position for approximately 3 hours, be-  
fore plugging it into the mains and switching on, to  
ensure proper performance.  
Fill the ice trays and put into compartment "I".  
Before placing food 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 auto-  
matically.  
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 air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling be-  
cause it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses  
should be placed above the vegetable crisper.  
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-  
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible  
for any extended amount of time.  
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any  
longer than raw food.  
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them  
because 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 objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the  
back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-  
crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of  
condensate (on food, containers, etc.).  
Fig. 1  
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient,  
removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height  
using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large  
containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.  
FREEZING FOOD  
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-  
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.  
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-  
sult a specialized manual.  
- Food that has thawed, even partially, must not be re-fro-  
zen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours)  
or to freeze it once again.  
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power  
failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in  
temperature 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 the ice cube trays about 3/4 full.  
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an ex-  
tended period of time, the temperature needed for extended  
storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting  
in reduced storage life of the food.  
- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed in  
contact with those that are already frozen or those that have  
been fast-frozen. Place the food you wish to freeze in the  
top compartment where the temperature will fall below -  
18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Please keep  
in mind that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on  
the speed with which they are frozen.  
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the  
freezer.  
- The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is  
indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg-  
etable crisper.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
- Close the Doors  
- Install the Appliance Properly  
Open your refrigerator only when necessary, remember that every  
time you open the door, most of the cold air will be lost. To bring  
the temperature back to the proper level again, the motor must  
run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial  
amount of energy.  
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sunlight, in  
a well ventilated room.  
- Correct Temperature Settings  
Set the temperature control 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 Seal  
Keep the seal clean and make sure that they adhere well to the  
door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.  
- No Hot Foods  
- Do not Overfill your Appliance  
A container of hot food placed in the refrigerator will increase the  
temperature significantly.  
Allow food to cool before storing.  
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circula-  
tion. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air circulation  
and overwork the compressor.  
- Check your Appliance for build up of ice  
Check the interior walls for ice. Defrost your appliance when the  
layer becomes too thick (see section, 'CARING for your  
APPLIANCE').

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE  
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance  
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning  
off the general switch in your home).  
Cleaning and Special Maintenance  
Before cleaning the refrigerator, 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 thor-  
oughly before putting them back in the appliance.  
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  
The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation. The  
defrost water is collected by the conveyor and is evaporated  
externally automatically.  
Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (fig. 2). This  
will prevent the water collecting on the bottom of the refrig-  
erator instead of flowing out.  
- 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. 4).  
How to Defrost the Freezer  
- If the frost is more than 7-8 mm thick, the freezer compart-  
ment 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.  
-
-
The defrost water can be collected as shown in Fig.3.  
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Nothing works.  
If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or  
the problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see KEY  
CONTACTS, back page) and inform them of: the type of  
problem, the abbreviation of the model name (Mod.) and  
the relative numbers (S/N) written on the rating plate  
located at the bottom left next to the fruit and vegetable  
crisper.  
Check that:  
The mains switch in your home is on.  
There has not been a power cut.  
The plug is properly inserted in the socket and is switched  
on.  
The socket is working; try another appliance in the socket  
to check.  
The fuse in the plug is ok - if not replace it,  
(see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION).  
Never call on unauthorized technicians and always  
refuse spare parts which are not originals.  
The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool  
properly.  
Check that:  
The door is shut properly.  
The seal is clean and not damaged.  
The door has not been left open too long.  
The temperature control is on the correct setting.  
The refrigerator or freezer is not overfilled.  
The food in the refrigerator becomes too cold.  
Check that:  
The temperature control is on the correct setting;  
The food is not in contact with the back wall - which is the  
coldest part.  
The motor runs continuously.  
Check that:  
The door is shut properly or has not been left open too  
long;  
The room temperature is not too high;  
The temperature control is not set too high.  
The appliance makes too much noise.  
The refrigerant in the cooling circuit causes a slight bubbling  
sound, even when the compressor is not running (this is quite  
normal and is not a fault).  
Check that:  
The appliance is level.  
The appliance was installed between cabinets or objects  
that vibrate and make noise.  
There is water on the bottom of the  
refrigerator.  
Check that:  
The defrost drain is clear from any blockage (see fig.2).

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.
