For Your Safety

For your safety, read the following advice:

The freezer cooling system contains a small amount of gas which is environmentally

friendly but flammable. To avoid any risk :-

●Install the freezer following the installation instructions and ensure

that ventilation openings are kept clear of obstruction.

●Take care when installing or moving the freezer to avoid damaging

the pipes on the rear.

●If you suspect a leak, do not switch on the freezer, but open the

windows and doors to ventilate the room.

●Do not use any electrical devices inside the freezer, for instance for

defrosting.

●Do not use any mechanical devices for defrosting other than any which may

have been supplied with the freezer as they may cause damage.

●Only use this freezer for storing domestic foodstuffs.

When installing your freezer :-

●Ensure that the mains cable is not trapped underneath or behind the freezer

when you install or move it.

●Do not stack any other appliance on top of this freezer as they may

damage the freezer or become unstable.

When using your freezer :-

●Do not sit or stand on top of your freezer.

●Do not store poisonous, flammable or dangerous substances in your freezer.

●Do not use aerosol sprays for defrosting or cleaning your freezer.

If you sell the freezer, pass on this booklet to the new owner.

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Installation

Minimum space required to open door

The freezer needs a space of 600mm (24 inches) in front to allow the door to

open.

When positioning the freezer next to a unit, a gap of 30mm (11/4inch) can be left

at the hinge side of the door to allow the easy removal of furniture. If preferred

the freezer can be positioned so that a gap is not left.This will restrict how far the

door can be opened but the furniture can still be removed (see diagrams below).

The door hinge side can be changed to make it easier to open (see ‘Door Reversal’

in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).

Location & Air Circulation

Locate your freezer away from sources of heat e.g.

cookers, radiators, direct sunlight as extreme temperature

will affect its performance.

Allow a minimum 100mm (4 inches) between the top of

the freezer and the ceiling or the underside of a wall

cupboard.

Providing you follow the recommended ventilation

requirements you will :-

●Prolong the life of the freezer.

●Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of

the freezer.

●Minimise the running costs.

●Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.

Installation

Levelling:

Level the freezer when it is in its final location by adjusting the front feet, until firm

contact is made with the floor. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the door

aligned which helps the freezer run reliably and efficiently.

Note: Before plugging in and switching on, leave the freezer standing in its

final location for at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Hinge Covers:

After the front feet have been adjusted and the freezer is level fit the left and right

hand bottom hinge covers supplied.

To fit:

Align the bottom hinge cover onto the

cover plate slots.

Push until the bottom hinge cover

clicks into place.

Joining:

Equal height Hotpoint ‘FUTURE’ fridges and freezers can be joined together to look

like one unit by using a Filler Kit available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts & Accessories

Mail Order Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).

Installation

SAFETY &

INSTALLATION

Controls

Controlling the Temperature of the Freezer Compartment

The control wheel on the front panel adjusts the internal freezer temperature.

The internal freezer temperature should be -18˚C or colder.

The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the freezer, the room

temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked by a 3

on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the control

wheel using a coin to avoid damage:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

You can check the temperature of the freezer compartment by using a Fridge Freezer

Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts 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 freezer must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 2˚C or

above 38˚C for prolonged periods, as the internal freezer temperature will not be

maintained.

Depending on your model - the bottom compartment drawer (FZA50), the bottom

two compartment drawers (FZA80 and FZM80) should be used to freeze fresh food.

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 24 hours: FZA80/FZM80 18kg

FZA50 12kg

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 do forget.

Useful Advice

Making the best use of your Freezer

To ensure that your freezer operates as efficiently as possible:

●Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers

advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

●Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour

transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers

with lids are ideal.

●Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’

and place in freezer as soon as possible after arriving home.

●Avoid opening the door unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

●Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in

the freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

●Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food

freezes quickly and so that its quality does not deteriorate.

●Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise

they may freeze together.

USEFUL ADVICE

How Frost Free works

The frost free system completely eliminates the need for defrosting.

A fan circulates air around the freezer. This helps to remove moisture from the

compartment, therefore preventing the build up of ice.

It is normal to hear the fan when the freezer is cooling.

Additional benefits of the frost free system include:

●More even temperatures throughout the freezer.

●Faster cooling times.
