Introduction - Hotpoint Ariston SD1521HA Service Information

Indesit Company
MODEL INTRODUCTION
The models included in this publication are 1500 and 1700 mm high larder fridges, introduced in July
2007. All models are similar with regard to the furniture design, but there are variations for energy-
banding (A and A+), exterior colour and 'V' models that have an air circulation fan.
For banding and colour information, refer to the Front Cover and/or Specifications page.
The appliance is 'wet wall' design so defrosting is automatic, with the water draining into a gutter and
a dissipator. Doors are reversible but do require a T20 Torx key to remove the plinth/kick strip.
A thermostat mounted behind the control panel/top facia controls the temperature; the door switch is
also mounted in the same area.
JOINING MODELS & JOINING KIT OVERVIEW
Model numbers with the suffix 'J' (= JOINING) at the end, signify that the model can be joined/linked
to the freezer. Example: SD1722J joined to UP1722J.
A joining kit is available and full instructions will be included with the kit. Similar instructions are also
published in this manual.
When installing and joining these models together, the larder fridge must always be on the right
hand side with the matching freezer on the left hand side. The fridge is supplied with the door hinged
on the right hand side whereas the freezer door will be on the left hand side, i.e. both grab handles
positioned in the middle.
The reason for the positioning is that the freezer has extra system pipework routed up and down,
close to its right hand side panel. The affect of this, is to warm the side panel and in doing so,
removing the risk of cross-ambient temperatures between the fridge and freezer, which would
otherwise cause condensation.
MICROBAN® (Hygiene Control)
All models have Microban® - built in anti-bacterial protection for life of the product.
Food safety is becoming increasingly important to consumers with more and more cases of food
poisoning. Microban® is the number one brand name in antibacterial products. Microban® is built
into the plastic of the fridge interior during manufacture so it cannot wash or wear out.
It provides permanent protection against bacteria as it reduces on contact the spread of food
poisoning bacteria, which can cause contamination and odour.
It gives extra hygiene reassurance as it kills or inhibits the growth of any bacteria, which may come
into contact with the interior surfaces of the fridge.
Microban® is approved safe for use in food contact applications by the European Scientific
Committee for Food and has proven safe over many in personal care and household cleaning
products.
