Choose a location for your

freezer, away from any

heat sources and

allow adequate

ventilation - 30mm

(11/4inch) gap above.

Level the freezer by

adjusting the front feet.

This will stop rocking or

vibration and keep the

door aligned.

Plug in and switch on.

Allow the freezer to cool

before placing food

inside.

The high temperature

light will stay on until the

freezer has cooled down.

All food in the freezer

should be covered.

Move the freezer into

position, using the sides

of the cabinet. Take care

to avoid damaging the

refrigerant circuit pipe

work on the rear.

Before plugging in and

STEP 7

For Your Safety

For your safety, read the following advice:

The freezer cooling system contains a small amount of gas which is environmentally

friendly but flammable. To avoid any risk :-

●Install the freezer following the installation instructions and ensure that

ventilation openings are kept clear of obstruction.

●Take care when installing or moving the freezer to avoid damaging the pipes

on the rear.

●If you suspect a leak, do not switch on the freezer, but open the windows and

doors to ventilate the room.

●Do not use any electrical devices inside the freezer, for instance for

defrosting.

●Do not use any mechanical devices for defrosting other than any which may

have been supplied with the freezer as they may cause damage.

●Only use this freezer for storing domestic foodstuffs.

When installing your freezer :-

●Ensure that the mains cable is not trapped underneath or behind the freezer

when you install or move it.

●Do not stack any other appliance on top of this freezer as they may

damage the freezer or become unstable.

When using your freezer :-

●Do not sit or stand on top of your freezer.

●Do not store poisonous, flammable or dangerous substances in your freezer.

●Do not use aerosol sprays for defrosting or cleaning your freezer.

If you sell the freezer, pass on this booklet to the new owner.

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Installation

Location & Air Circulation

Locate your freezer away from sources of heat e.g.

Cookers, Radiators, Direct Sunlight as extreme

temperature will affect its performance.

Allow a minimum 30mm (11/4inch) between the top of

the freezer and the underside of the worktop.

Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will :-

●Prolong the life of the freezer.

●Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of the freezer.

●Minimise the running costs.

●Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.

Minimum space required to open door

The freezer needs a space of 600mm (24 inches) in front to allow the door to

open.

When positioning the freezer next to a unit, a gap of 30mm (11/4inch) can be left

at the hinge side of the door to allow the easy removal of furniture. If preferred

the freezer can be positioned so that a gap is not left.This will restrict how far the

door can be opened but the furniture can still be removed (see diagram below).

The door hinge side can be changed to make it easier to open (see ‘Door Reversal’

in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).

Installation

Levelling:

Level the freezer when it is in its final location by adjusting the front feet, until firm

contact is made with the floor. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the door

aligned which helps the freezer run reliably and efficiently.

Before plugging in and switching on, leave the freezer standing in its final location for

at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.

Fitting a Freezer under a Work Top

To minimise running costs Hotpoint recommend fitting a vent to the rear of your

worktop, which is available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts & Accessories Mail Order

Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).

WARNING: If there is less than 30mm clearance above the freezer, a vent must be

fitted to provide adequate ventilation above your freezer.

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Installation

Electrical Supply

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

The freezer must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installation.

Fuses

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to replace the

fuse, only use those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to BS1362.

Changing the Plug

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket.

WARNING: To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded plug into a socket

anywhere else.

IMPORTANT WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

FOLLOWING CODE :

Green/Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not correspond with

the colour of the markings identifying terminals in the plug. You should therefore

wire it as shown above.

Changing the Mains Lead

This freezer is fitted with a special mains lead. If you need to replace the mains lead

due to damage, one can be bought from Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back

page). It is strongly advised that this work is carried out by a qualified electrician.

CE Marking certifies that this appliance conforms to the following EEC

directives : Low Voltage Equipment - 72/23/EEC & 93/68 EEC

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Controls

Controlling the Temperature of the Freezer Compartment

The control wheel on the front of the worktop adjusts the internal freezer

temperature. Your food should be maintained at -18˚C or colder for long term

storage.

The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the freezer, the room

temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked by a 3

and N on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the

control wheel:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

You can check the temperature of the freezer compartment by using a Fridge Freezer

Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail Order

Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS back page).

WARNING: Do not use a mercury filled thermometer, as breakage would cause a

health hazard.

Your freezer must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 2˚C or

above 38˚C for prolonged periods, as the internal freezer temperature will not be

maintained.

Making the best use of your Freezer

To ensure that your freezer operates as efficiently as possible :

●Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers

advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

●Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour

transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers

with lids are ideal.

●Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’

and place in freezer as soon as possible after arriving home.

●Avoid opening the door unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

●Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in

freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

●Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food

freezes quickly and so that its quality does not deteriorate.

●Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise

they may freeze together.

Note:

The Rating Plate, which lists the appliance Model Number and Serial

Number can be found near the bottom of the left hand internal wall.

USEFUL ADVICE

FAST FREEZE

Useful Advice

Storing Food in a Freezer

●Freeze and store either fresh food or long term commercially frozen foods.

●Generally speaking long term storage means up to 3 months but this can

vary, so always follow your supplier’s recommendations otherwise refer to

the pictorial guide on the door liner (see below).

●Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after

buying it.

●Liquid-filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be stored in freezer, as

they may burst.

●Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children directly from the

freezer the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’.

●Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer and remove from freezer

15-30 minutes before serving.

●Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in freezer.

●When freezing fresh food follow the instructions for using fast freeze (see

CONTROLS section).

●Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with food already frozen, the

frozen food could start to defrost.

●Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked

and refrozen.

●Fully defrost your freezer when the ice is between 3-5mm thick (1/4inch) (see

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).

Note : A thick layer of ice will increase the running costs of your freezer.
