Defrosting

Defrosting

Fridge compartment

No manual defrosting required

The fridge compartment will defrost automatically. During defrost periods water droplets form on the interior back wall of your Fridge and refreeze afterwards.

WARNING: Ensure that stored food does not come into contact with the interior back wall of your Fridge. Also ensure the defrost gutter drain hole is kept clear see ‘Cleaning’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section.

Freezer compartment

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 electrical 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 following the instructions overleaf.

6.Replace storage drawers.

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