Electrical Requirements

We recommend that this appliance is connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched socket, in a readily accessible position.

All Hotpoint appliances come complete with a fitted plug. The plug on your freezer has a 13A fuse. If the plug does not fit your sockets, a new plug can be flitted. Cut off the old plug and throw it away (DO NOT insert it into a socket elsewhere, as this could cause a shock hazard).

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT: Fitting a different plug -

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the followiing code:

Green and Yellow

- Earth

Blue

- Neutral

Brown

- Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of these wires may not correspond with the identity markings on the plug terminals. This is what you have to do:

Connect the green and yellow (Earth) wire to the terminal coloured green and yellow or marked ‘E’ or with the symbol

Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the terminal coloured black or marked ‘N’. Connect the brown (Live) wire to the terminal coloured red or marked ‘L”.

In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied, a 13A ASTA approved fuse to

BS1 362 must be fitted. With alternative plugs a 15A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box.

If the plug is the moulded on type, the fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse cover is available from your nearest Hotpoint parts centre or your Electricity Company. Identify a correct replacement by comparing colour coding or markings on the base of the plug.

Mains Lead Replacement

If the mains lead on your freezer needs replacing at any time, a special lead is available from your nearest Hotpoint Service Office (see Back Cover). A charge will be made if you have damaged the existing lead or require a longer lead.
