WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

FFuusseess

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to replace the
fuse, only those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to BS1362 should be used. If you
lose the fuse cover, a replacement may be obtained from your local Hotpoint autho­rised Service Centre or Electricity company. Correct replacement is identified by colour
coding or the marking on base of plug.

WARNING: Do not use plug unless fuse cover is fitted.

CChhaannggiinngg tthhee PPlluugg

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.

BBeeffoorree FFiittttiinngg::
Before connecting to the electricity supply
leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours to
allow the cooling system to settle.

Please read through this section before
starting any work.

CChhoooossiinngg aa llooccaattiioonn::
The power socket should be in a readily
accessible position, adjacent to the Larder
Fridge.
Place the Larder Fridge in a dry and regu­larly ventilated room.
Allowed ambient temperature depends on
the model (class) of the appliance and is
stated on the rating plate.
Never place the Larder Fridge near heat
emitting devices (eg. cooker, radiator, water
heater or similar devices) and do not
expose it to direct sunlight. In such a posi­tion your Larder Fridge will have to work
harder and will cost more to run and could
be damaged by the heat.
Ensure that you provide adequate air
circulation around the Larder Fridge.
Behind, there should be at least 200cm2.
Any units positioned above the Larder
Fridge should be at least 5cm away.

PPllaacciinngg tthhee LLaarrddeerr FFrriiddggee::
Place the Larder Fridge on a solid base.
Some have adjustable feet at the front, use
them to level the Larder Fridge.

Two spacers supplied with the Larder Fridge
must be fitted onto the upper edge of the
condenser, preventing the Larder Fridge
being installed too close to the wall. You
will need to adjust both spacers depending
on the distance of the condenser from the
wall. To adjust, turn spacers accordingly
and fix them to the condenser.

WWAARRNNIINNGG::
The appliance contains a small quantity of
the enviromentally-friendly but flammable
refrigerant R600a.
Ensure that the refrigeration tubing is not
damaged during transportation and
installation. Leaking refrigerant may cause
eye injuries or ignite.
If refrigerant is leaking out:

- Avoid naked flames and ignition sources
near the leakage.

- Unplug the appliance and ventilate the
room for several minutes.

RREEFFRRIIGGEERRAATTOORR::
The refrigerator is used for storing fresh
foods for a few days. Quickly perishable
food should be stored at the back ie. the
coldest part of the refrigerator.
The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with
a cooling plate incorporated in the rear
wall. Under the plate there is a channel
and an outlet for defrost water.
Regularly check the defrost water outlet and
the channel, because they should never be
clogged (as for example with food rests). If
clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it.

SHELF ­Shelves can be optionally placed on the
guides inside the appliance.
They are protected against being pulled
out. If you want to remove a shelf, slightly
lift up the back part and pull it out.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONTAINER ­The container is at the bottom under the
glass shelf and is used for storing fruits and
vegetables. It provides adequate humidity
which has a favourable effect on the food
stored (less dehydration).

DOOR LINER ­The door liner consists of various shelves or
holders for storing eggs, cheese, butter and
yogurt as well as other smaller packages,
tubes, cans etc.
The lower shelf is used for storing bottles.

BOTTLE RACK ­The bottle rack has two possible installation
positions, horizontal or lifted at the front.
To remove, lift at the back and pull forward.
When storing larger bottles, install the rack
on higher position, making sure you can
still close the door.

DEFROST WATER OUTLET ­The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with
a cooling plate incorporated in the rear
wall. Beneath this there is a channel and an
outlet for defrost water.
Regularly check the outlet and channel
remain clear. If clogged, use a plastic straw
and clean it.

ILLUMINATION IN THE INTERIOR OF THE
REFRIGERATOR ­The light for illuminating the interior of the
appliance is on, when the door is opened.
The operation of the light does not depend
on the position of the thermostat knob.

LLOOWW TTEEMMPPEERRAATTUURREE CCOOMMPPAARRTTMMEENNTT::

for storing frozen foods.
