Defrosting

Regular use of your appliance causes ice to gradually build up on internal surfaces increasing the running costs of your appliance. When the ice is between 3-5mm (1/4 inch) Hotpoint recommend ‘fully defrosting your freezer’.

Fully defrosting your freezer.

WARNING: Switch off the electricity supply and pull out the mains plug.

1.Remove frozen food, wrap or cover it and place into insulated containers to keep frozen whilst the freezer defrosts.

2.Remove the storage drawers

3.Insert the supplied defrost tube into the groove situated in the floor at the front of the freezer. Place a container beneath the tube to collect the defrost water.

4.As the frost begins to melt, use the supplied plastic scraper to remove frost. Never use sharp metal tools to remove frost as they may damage your freezer beyond repair.

5.Sponge out excess defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer.

NOTE : When defrosting is complete, clean the interior thoroughly, see CLEANING section, next page.

6.Replace storage drawers.

7.Replace mains plug and switch on. Unwrap food and replace.
