The bottom compartment drawer, should be used to freeze fresh food.
Transfer already frozen food to one of the upper compartment drawers.
During the fast freeze process the chiller bleed restrictor (refer to page 12 for illustration) should be
inserted into the chiller bleed opening. This will prevent the chiller drawer and salad bins from going
below their ideal storage temperatures. At the end of the fast freeze process, remove the restrictor
and keep until required.
- Before loading 2kg or more of fresh food, select fast freeze for the required pre-freeze time
(see chart below).
- If freezing up to 2kg of fresh food just select fast freeze when loading.
Once the fresh food is loaded leave fast freeze on for 24 hours to freeze the food as quickly as
possible.
Maximum freezing capacity in 24hrs:
10kg
Note: Don’t forget to turn fast freeze off after 24 hours from the introduction of fresh food to be
frozen. However, fast freeze will turn off automatically after 48 hours if you forget.

This feature allows you to set your fridge
compartment to a warmer setting while
you are away on holiday, to reduce running
costs without affecting the freezer..
You can check the temperature of the fridge freezer compartments by using a Fridge Freezer
Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Part and Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see KEY
CONTACTS back page).
WARNING: Do not use a mercury filled thermometer, as breakage would cause a health hazard.
Your fridge freezer must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 6˚C or above
38˚C for prolonged periods, as the internal fridge temperature will not be maintained.
