				PRODUCT SAFETY   
					ATTENTION   
					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.   
					thermostat knob to the   
					setting does not suffice to break   
					all electrical contact with the mains.   
					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).   
					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.   
					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.   
					3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet   
					or with wet hands or feet.   
					12. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment   
					for food storage, if these are not those recommended by   
					the manufacturer.   
					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.   
					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 appli-   
					ance, 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.   
					INSTALLATION   
					To ensure that the appliance operates properly and   
					to reduce energy consumption, it is important that   
					the appliance is installed correctly.   
					that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the   
					bottom left near the fruit and vegetable crisper, corresponds   
					to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is   
					fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance 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 refrigerator in   
					direct sunlight, or next to an electric stove or similar appliance.   
					Areas not adequately ventilated are not suitable for this   
					appliance.   
					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.   
					Insufficient power?   
					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.   
					The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum   
					power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating   
					plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.   
					Before making the electrical connection ...   
					Level   
					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.   
					The appliance must be level. If the floor is not level, use the   
					adjustable feet at the front to level the appliance.   
					Electrical Connection and Earthing   
					Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure

				ELECTRICAL CONNECTION   
					Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug   
					that can be plugged into a 13amp socket for   
					immediate use. Before using the appliance please   
					read the instructions below.   
					Fitting a new plug   
					IMPORTANT:   
					WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN   
					ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE...   
					WARNING:   
					THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.   
					Green and Yellow   
					Blue   
					Brown

					Live   
					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:   
					- 
					Connect Green and Yellow wire to   
					terminal marked 'E' or or coloured   
					Green and Yellow.   
					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.   
					- 
					- 
					Connect Brown wire to terminal marked   
					'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   
					- 
					The mains cable is wired directly into a   
					13amp cable outlet, controlled by a   
					switch (in compliance with BS 5733)   
					which is accessible without moving the   
					appliance.   
					CE Marking certifies that this appliance   
					conforms to the following EEC   
					directives :   
					Disposing of the plug   
					Low Voltage Equipment - 73/23/EEC &   
					93/68 EEC   
					Electromagnetic Compatibility   
					89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC & 93/68/EEC   
					Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does   
					not fit your socket. The cable should be cut as close   
					as possible to the moulded plug.   
					Remove the fuse.   
					WARNING:   
					To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the   
					discarded plug into a socket anywhere else.

				GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE   
					Before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the   
					interior well with warm water and baking soda.   
					NOTICE   
					After the appliance has been delivered, leave it to   
					stand in its upright position for approximately 3   
					hours, before plugging it into the mains and switch-   
					ing on, to ensure proper performance.   
					After plugging the appliance into the socket, make sure that   
					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.   
					Fill the ice trays and put into compartment "M".   
					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:   
					B 
					B 
					B 
					A 
					A 
					- 
					Fast temperature reset, after the doors have been   
					opened, the internal temperatures return to optimal levels   
					faster, improving food storage.   
					- 
					More uniform temperature distribution, this makes it   
					possible to place any type of food on any shelf.   
					Hotter air is drawn in (B above). This air is cooled   
					when it comes into contact with the refrigeration   
					panel (A above).   
					- 
					Higher humidity level, this allows you to store food   
					Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum   
					longer.   
					- 
					storage time, any food, even the freshest will not remain ed-   
					( 
					ible for any extended amount of time.   
					i 
					- 
					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.).

				The side bottle rack can be used either for storing a bottle   
					(Fig. 2) or several cans (2-4) placed horizontally (Fig. 3). If   
					not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to   
					make more room inside the refrigerator.   
					- 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   
					items in the refrigerator.   
					Fig. 1   
					Fig. 2   
					Fig. 3   
					Fig. 4   
					- The door accessories are designed to offer easy use and   
					flexibility. The easy to remove door shelves make cleaning   
					simple.   
					- The 2 shelves situated at the top of the refrigerator can be   
					used for storage of small food items, such as preserves and   
					paste etc.   
					- The top vegetable crispers which are cooler than the   
					bottom one, are more suited for fruits and vegetables such   
					as, strawberries, grapes, mushrooms, red tomatoes. Whereas   
					the bottom crisper is ideal for storing pineapples, avocados   
					etc.   
					- To use the meat/cheese box, unhook it and remove it from   
					the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs, the   
					same can be moved laterally (Fig 4).   
					What Not to Store in the Refrigerator   
					Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.   
					Bananas (they will turn black).   
					Citrus fruits.   
					Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).   
					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   
					consult 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 tempera-   
					ture within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen   
					and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for ap-   
					proximately 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 vegeta-   
					ble 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, con-   
					suming 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 in-   
					crease the temperature significantly.   
					Allow food to cool before storing.   
					Remember that proper storage of food requires good air cir-   
					culation. 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 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 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.   
					- 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. 7).   
					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. 5). 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, so that the water drains   
					properly.   
					How to Defrost the Freezer   
					- Every so often, remove the frost with the scraper provided   
					with the appliance (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.   
					- 
					- 
					Collect the defrost water as shown (Fig.6).   
					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 interior 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 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.5).
