PRODUCT SAFETY
ATTENTION
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.

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:

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Nothing works
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.
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 vegetable crisper.
• 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 doors close well and that the seals are not damaged
• The doors have not left open too long.
• The thermostat knob is on the correct setting.
• The refrigerator or freezer is not overfilled.
The food inside the refrigerator is too cold
Check that:
• the temperature setting is too low (or not the best).
• The food is not in contact with the back wall - which is the
coldest part.
The motor runs constantly
Check that:
• the temperature control is on the correct setting.
• the doors have been open continuously.
• The room temperature is not too high.
The appliance makes too much noise.
The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the
compressor is not running (this is not a defect).
Check that:
• The refrigerator 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 hole for draining the water from the frost is clogged
(see fig. 2).
