Hotpoint Maximize Food Preservation with the Food Care Zone in Refrigerators

function will be deactivated automatically (the LED switches off); the food may now be moved into the two lower compartments (so that the Cool Care Zone can be used if necessary) or even left in the Cool Care Zone compartment, which operates as a normal storage compartment when the function has not been activated.

•Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).

•Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted.

•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).

•In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.

!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.

Cool Care Zone

The Cool Care Zone is a special compartment in the freezer which allows the user to choose between 4 different operating modes that may be set according to specific requirements and the type of food stored inside. The temperature settings that may be selected are -8°C, -12°C and -18°C, indicated by the icons depicting a strawberry, an ice cream and a bottle on the control panel. The Cool Care Zone is equipped with controls that may be operated independently from the other compartments inside the freezer, by the Cool Care Zone may also be deactivated using the control panel, so that it can then be used as a normal freezer compartment.

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of
the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the
hole after filling with water is also provided).

1.Pull out the tray by pushing it up.

Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.

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).

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.

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.
