Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs
on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
Cleaning the appliance
• We recommend you clean your fridge with our
Professional Fridge cleaner.To order please call us on
08448 225 225 or visit www.hotpointservice.co.uk
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,
bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry
them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can
be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be
switched off and the plug must be pulled out before
cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food
must always be covered or sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:
water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special
discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced
by the compressor causes it to evaporate.
It is necessary to clean the
discharge hole regularly so
that the water can flow out
easily.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,
pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the
instructions below.
Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw
(B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as
shown (see diagram). Replace it with a similar light bulb,
the power of which should not exceed 15W.
