ENERGY SAVING TIPS - Close the Doors Open your freezer only when necessary, remember that every time you open the door, most of the cold air will be lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level again, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy. - Install the Appliance Properly In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room.
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE Before doing any cleaning, turn off the green light and disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home). Cleaning and Special Maintenance Defrosting - Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance. Clean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is, among other things, a good disinfectant.
TROUBLESHOOTING Green Light is off. Check that: • The mains switch in your home is on. • There has not been a power cut. • The plug is properly inserted in the socket and is switched on. • The socket is working; try another appliance in the socket to check. • The fuse in the plug is ok - if not replace it, (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION). If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem perstists, call Hotpoint Service, see KEY CONTACTS, back cover.
