Hotpoint FF200E, FF187E manual Using the refrigerator to its full potential, ICE Care tray

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•The general refrigerator temperature should be 5°C or colder although some sections, such as fruit and vegetable bin, will be warmer.The mid position (i-care) is usually suitable but the exact position will depend on the appliance location, food loading and number of door openings. If necessary, use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob.

•Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

•Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

Using the freezer to its full potential

•The freezer internal temperature should be -18°C or colder. The mid position (i-care) is usually suitable but the exact position will depend on appliance location, food loading and number of door openings. If necessary, use the FREEZER OPERATION knob (see Description) to adjust the temperature.

•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 frozen. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C

and guarantees rapid freezing.

! to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.

•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 data plate located inside one of the compartments. For example kg/24h: 4

•To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled

automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures	GB
have been reached (indicator light goes out);

!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.

ICE CARE tray

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 completely 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 warm (with water) the outside so that the ice cubes come loose. Take them out through the opening.
