WARNING:  
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
Replacing fuse covers:  
Positioning and connection  
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.  
Positioning  
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free  
room.  
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor  
and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation  
to operate correctly and save energy.  
3. Ensure the appliance is far away from any sources of  
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).  
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.  
Electrical connections  
After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it  
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it  
to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the  
electrical socket ensure the following:  
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 appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant  
with the law.  
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the  
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate  
located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150  
W).  
• The voltage must be in the range between the values  
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left  
side (e.g. 220-240V).  
-
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.  
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the  
appliance.  
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an  
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance).  
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.  
Disposing of the plug  
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.  
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power  
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily  
accessible.  
Remove the fuse.  
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.  
WARNING:  
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by  
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).  
To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded

COMPARTMENT knob must not be on Off).  
Freezer compartment  
When you turn the appliance on (by turning the  
FREEZER and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob to the required  
freezer compartment operating temperature), we  
recommend you enable the SUPER FREEZE function to  
speed up the cooling process inside the compartment;  
when the latter has reached the optimal temperature, the  
function will be disabled and you may place the frozen  
foods inside the freezer.  
Refrigerator compartment  
When you turn the refrigerator compartment on (by  
turning REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob to the  
required refrigerator compartment operating  
temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER  
COOL function to speed up the cooling process inside  
the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food  
inside the refrigerator.  
A.I.R. SYSTEM (Advanced Integrated Refrigeration)  
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism  
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see  
diagram). The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge  
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will  
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even  
if the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A) is  
cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,  
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).

Using the display  
! The SUPER FREEZE function features a double mode  
of operation (see paragraph on operating the freezer  
compartment).  
GB  
Setting the temperature  
If the compartment concerned is switched off, the word  
OFF will appear on the relative indication space on the  
display (REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT setting and  
FREEZER COMPARTMENT setting). If the compartment is  
switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will  
appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly  
(REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER  
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob).  
The refrigerator compartment can be set to between  
+2°C and +8°C, while the freezer compartment can be  
set to a temperature of between -18°C and -26°C. The  
temperature in both cases can be increased or  
decreased by 1°C at a time.  
Enabling/disabling the DEMO mode:  
To run a demonstration of the display operation while  
keeping the appliance turned off, just enable the DEMO  
mode.  
Enabling:  
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF  
Knob to 0ff;  
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for  
approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and  
the two words “OFF” and “OFF” flash on the display;  
these words will flash for the entire duration the DEMO  
mode is enabled.  
When the HOLIDAY function is enabled, temperature  
regulations cannot be made, but the appliance  
automatically sets itself to the best setting for the  
situation: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment (if  
enabled) and -18°C for the freezer compartment.  
Disabling:  
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF  
Knob to 0ff;  
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for  
approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and  
the two words “OFF” and “OFF” on the display stop  
flashing.  
Function status  
Function symbol during normal operation  
Using the refrigerator to its full potential  
Function selected (outline flashing)  
Function enabled (outline on)  
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust  
the temperature (see Description).  
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the  
temperature quickly. For example, when you place a  
large number of new food items inside a fridge, the  
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function  
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the  
temperature until it reaches the ideal level.  
Enabling/disabling the functions  
Press the MODE button as many times as necessary for  
the red outline of the function you wish to act on to light  
up: this indicates that the function has been selected  
and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can  
enable or disable the selected function using the  
SELECT button.  
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,  
not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).  
! If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the  
button within five seconds of the last action  
performed on the display, the latter shall go back to  
displaying the function previously set and indicate that  
no new modification has been made.  
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than  
raw foods.  
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will  
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause  
condensation to form.  
! The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator  
compartment and when the latter is switched off, no action  
whatsoever will be possible on the former, other functions  
foresee an operation that can create conflicts (for example,  
when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE functions are  
enabled simultaneously), in this case a pre-set priority is  
taken into consideration in order to help you operate the  
appliance.

Using the freezer to its full potential  
ICE trays.  
GB  
The Easy Ice trays are set into the top part of the freezer  
drawers to maximise the space within the freezer. The  
trays are drip-free and sealed to prevent food from  
tainting the ice cubes.  
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/  
OFF Knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).  
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has  
already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked  
and eaten (within 24 hours).  
1. Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it with  
water through the opening provided.  
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into  
contact with food that has already been defrosted.  
Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and  
STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops  
below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.  
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX  
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes  
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to  
melt and empty the tray).  
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments  
each mould fills with water (see diagram).  
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and  
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer  
because they could break.  
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the  
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding  
housing and allowing it to drop in again.  
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is  
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties  
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator  
compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).  
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately  
8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet  
the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take  
them out through the opening.  
To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):  
- For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity  
indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left,  
next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE  
function on the display in the "24 hour" mode and insert  
the food to be frozen. To enable the function, press the  
MODE button as many times as necessary for the  
SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press  
the SELECT button to enable the SUPER FREEZE  
function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal  
MAX  
WATER LEVEL  
temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing  
function is automatically disabled.  
- For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the  
maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on  
the lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the  
SUPER FREEZE function on the display in the "48 hours"  
mode: To enable the function, press the MODE button as  
many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol  
to start flashing and then press the SELECT button for  
more than three seconds to ensure the function is  
enabled (symbol SUPER FREEZE function starts to flash  
slowly). After 24 hours, the function symbol will stop  
flashing and go back to being permanently lit; you can  
now insert the food to be frozen. After another 24 hours,  
the function will be disabled automatically.  
ICE PARTY: to bring a bottle of  
sparkling wine or champagne  
to the right temperature. Place  
it in the bucket provided inside  
the FREEZER and STORAGE  
compartment. The bucket may  
be used to serve the bottle,  
keeping it cool.  
! Do not open the door during freezing.  
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the  
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature  
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for  
at least 9 -14 hours.

Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
Holiday function  
GB  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:  
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not  
necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has  
a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of  
the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C  
(which can also be used to conserve make-up and  
beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to  
the minimum value (1) in order to preserve the food. T  
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF  
Knob on Off  
2. pull the plug out of the socket  
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.  
This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore  
normal operation, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER  
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF knob on the  
desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1  
and 2.  
Cleaning the appliance  
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber  
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been  
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or  
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,  
bleach or ammonia.  
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm  
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry  
them carefully.  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials  
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour  
free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains,  
food must always be covered or sealed properly.  
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended  
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors  
open.  
11  
 
Defrosting the appliance  
Replacing the light bulb  
GB  
! Follow the instructions below.  
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,  
pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the  
instructions below.  
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any  
devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you  
may damage the refrigeration circuit.  
Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw  
(B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as  
shown (see diagram). Replace it with a similar light bulb,  
the power of which should not exceed 15W.  
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment  
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:  
water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special  
discharge outlet (see  
A
diagram) where the heat  
produced by the  
compressor causes it to  
evaporate. It is necessary  
to clean the discharge  
hole regularly so that the  
water can flow out easily.  
B
Defrosting the freezer compartment  
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper  
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is  
necessary to defrost manually.  
If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, then you must defrost  
the freezer completely. Proceed as follows: one day before  
enabling the SUPER FREEZE function in the 24-hour mode;  
it helps give the food a healthy extra "cold shock". After  
24 hours, the freezing function is automatically disabled  
but you can disable it yourself. Turn the appliance off by  
turning the appliance ON/OFF knob. WARNING: this  
operation switches off the whole appliance (including the  
fridge compartment).  
Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either  
in another refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the door  
open, so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping  
it along with containers filled with lukewarm water.  
Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.  
Remember that the motor will not start immediately, but  
rather after approximately 8 minutes.

Precautions and tips  
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in  
Disposal  
GB  
compliance with international safety standards. The  
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and  
must be read carefully.  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires  
that old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately  
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the  
materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment. The crossed out  
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the  
appliance it must be separately collected.  
This appliance complies with the following  
Community Directives:  
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and  
subsequent amendments;  
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic  
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;  
- 2002/96/CE..  
General safety  
Consumers may take their old appliance to public  
waste collection areas, other communal collection  
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a  
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.  
All major household appliance manufacturers are  
active in the creation of systems to manage the  
collection and disposal of old appliances.  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the  
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial  
use.  
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food  
products by adults only and according to the  
instructions in this manual.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
Respecting and conserving the environment  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or  
moist hands and feet.  
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated  
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight  
and do not place it near heat sources.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could  
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or  
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve  
energy.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug  
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the  
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It  
is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs  
on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:  
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved  
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will  
work continuously.  
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances  
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.  
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may  
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.  
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The  
internal temperature will increase and force the  
compressor to work harder and will consume more  
energy.  
• Do not use devices or tools other than the special  
scraper provided inside the compartments.  
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).  
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food  
products more difficult and results in increased  
energy consumption.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into  
your mouth.  
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play  
with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they  
be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It  
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence this buzzer, just shut the door or  
press the SELECT button. Should the door remain open for more than 4  
minutes, the lamp will flash more rapidly.  
Abnormal freezer heating alarm  
a) To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g. momentary  
power failure), a buzzer will sound and a message comes up on the  
display “A1” to signal the dangerous heating of the compartment. To  
prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature  
of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hours or to cook  
them and then refreeze them. You can turn the buzzer off simply by  
pressing the SELECT button.  
To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you  
need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance FREEZER  
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob.  
b) If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to excessively high  
values, the buzzer will sound yet again and another message “A2” will  
come up on the display to signal the dangerous state of overheating. We  
recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it may be necessary  
to throw it away. In all cases, food should not be refrozen unless you cook it  
first. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a  
temperature of 0°C. The buzzer can be turned off by simply pressing the  
SELECT button. To return to normal operation and cancel the message  
from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning

Recycling & Disposal Information  
As part of Hotpoint's 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.
