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. -
Page 3: Installation
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 diagrams below). - Page 4 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).
- Page 5 This appliance 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.
- Page 6 The internal freezer temperature should be -18˚C or colder. 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 on the dial) is usually suitable.
- Page 7 Check the TROUBLESHOOTING section before calling for advice. The red light may come on for a short period when opening the freezer door to load or unload food, in this case storage times will not be affected.

A fan circulates air around the freezer. This helps to remove moisture from the compartment, therefore preventing the build up of ice. It is normal to hear the fan when the freezer is cooling.
- Page 11 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.
