Using The Refrigerator To Its Full Potential; Using The Freezer To Its Full Potential - Hotpoint ENBGH 19xxx FW Operating Instructions Manual

The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
GB
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the
original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking
together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block
the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact
with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food
tightly.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large
containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete
removal of the shelf.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light
the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the temperature
is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added
or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is
normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours
before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher setting.

Food Care Zone
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and
fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the
Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food
can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
"FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C"/ Safe Defrost*:
In the "FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C" compartment there are lower
temperatures than in the fridge. Temperatures can go below 0°C.
This compartment is the ideal spot to store meat and fish. You
can also store milk, dairy products, fresh pasta, cooked food or
leftovers.
This compartment is also suitable to defrost foods in a healthy
way, because the defrosting process at low temperatures inhibits
the micro organisms proliferation.
This compartment is not suitable for vegetables, salad and salads.
The 0°C can be obtained in normal conditions and when the
fridge compartment is set to 4° and the freezer is set to -18° C.
When you decrease the fridge temperature you also decrease
the temperature of the "FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C" compartment.
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and

food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A)
to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• 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.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate
the QUICK FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food
in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the QUICK
FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after
24 hours;
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they
could break.
• 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).
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes
with food or containers.
! 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.
!To maximise space inside the freezer, all drawers [with the
exception of the bottom drawer] can be removed from their
positions and the food placed directly on the racks/glass shelves
supplied [where present].

Easy Ice
The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer
compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available.
The trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.
Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an
extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or
left part of the top drawers.
