USER MANUAL BCB 70301 AA HOTPOINT

Instructions for use

Vegetable and fruit drawers (depending on model)

Pull the drawer out as far as it will go, lift it up and remove it.

To make it easier to insert the vegetable and fruit drawer, it can be lowered (and, if possible, inserted) through the two lower guides from the top.

Fan and Microban antibacterial filter (depending on model)

The fan ensures uniform temperature in the compartments and, accordingly, deep preservation of products and reduction of excess humidity. Do not cover the ventilation openings. The fan can be switched on and off manually (see

Brief operating instructions); if the fan is switched off, it operates as needed.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Model with separate freezer compartment

The freezer compartment allows you to store frozen products (for the period of time indicated on the packaging) and freeze fresh products. The amount of products that can be frozen within 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate. Place fresh products in the lower drawer of the freezer compartment (see Brief operating instructions), leaving enough space around the packages for free air circulation. It is recommended not to refreeze partially thawed products. It is important that the products are wrapped in such a way as to ensure protection from water, moisture and condensate.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice tray (if available) with water to 2/3 and place it in the freezer compartment. Under no circumstances use sharp objects to remove the ice.

Removing the drawers (depending on model):

Pull the drawers out as far as they will go, lift them up and remove them. To free up additional space, the drawers can be removed from the freezer compartment.

After placing the products on the shelves or in the drawers, make sure that the door is properly closed.

In models with an internal

freezer compartment, fresh products can be frozen. The amount of products that can be frozen within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate.

How to freeze fresh products:

  • Place the product on the shelf, if available (figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the freezer compartment (figure 2).
  • Place the products in the middle of the compartment, so that they do not come into contact with already frozen products. Leave a gap of about 20 mm between packages (figures 1 and 2).

Figure 1HOTPOINT BCB 70301 AA - How to freeze fresh products: - 1

Figure 2HOTPOINT BCB 70301 AA - How to freeze fresh products: - 2

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (depending on model)

In models with the Frost system, the defrosting process is automatic. In other models, the formation of ice is normal.

The amount and speed of ice formation depend on the air temperature in the room, the frequency of opening the door, and the amount of food stored. It is recommended to set a lower temperature or activate the fast freeze function (if available) (see the user manual) a few hours before removing products from the freezer compartment, so that they remain frozen longer during defrosting. To defrost, turn off the appliance and remove the food. Place the frozen products in a cool place. Leave the freezer compartment door open to allow the ice to melt. To prevent water leakage during defrosting, place an absorbent cloth at the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly. Wipe the freezer compartment and dry it thoroughly. Switch the refrigerator back on and put the products back.

STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on model)

The STOP FROST system (figure 1) facilitates defrosting of the freezer compartment. The special STOP FROST tray (figure 1) is designed for collecting the defrost water, which reduces the defrosting time of the freezer compartment.

(depending on model)

The compartment with zero temperature Activ0 is specially designed for maintaining low temperature and proper humidity for long-term storage of products (e.g., meat, fish, seafood, and winter vegetables).

Activ0° function with humidity control technology Ensures the best preservation of unpackaged products.

HOTPOINT BCB 70301 AA - STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on model) - 1

HOTPOINT BCB 70301 AA - Turning on and off the compartment - 1

For the compartment with zero temperature to function correctly, it is necessary:

  • that the cold compartment is turned on; - the temperature of the chamber is from +2°C to +6°C; - to turn on the compartment with zero temperature, you must insert the drawer;
  • that none of the following special functions is selected: "Cooling mode", "Cooling off", "Vacation" (if available); in this case, you must remove the products from the compartment.

Notes:

  • if the symbol does not light up when you turn on the compartment, check that the drawer is inserted correctly; if the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.
  • if the compartment is turned on and the drawer is open, the symbol on the control panel may turn off automatically and turn on again when the drawer is put back in place;
  • regardless of the status of the compartment, slight noises may be heard, which is normal;
  • when the compartment is turned off, the temperature inside depends on the overall temperature in the cold chamber. In this case, it is recommended to store fruits and vegetables that are not sensitive to cold (apples, onions, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).

Important: if the compartment is turned on and products with high moisture content are stored in it, condensation may form on the shelves. In this case, temporarily turn off the function. Be careful when placing small products and small containers on the top shelf of the zero-temperature compartment, so that they do not fall and get stuck in the space between the shelves and the back wall of the cold chamber.

To remove the zero-temperature compartment,

perform the following steps:

- According to the recommended procedure, if possible, remove the lower drawer; - perform the separation; - remove the separation, turning it upside down; - remove the white plastic shelf under the separation;

Note: The upper shelf and side holders are removed.

To use the compartment with zero temperature again, carefully insert the white plastic shelf above the compartment, then insert the drawer and activate the function. To increase the volume of the cold chamber and reduce electricity consumption, it is recommended to turn off the compartment with zero temperature and remove it.

From time to time, clean the compartment and its parts with a cloth soaked in warm water (do not immerse the white shelf or drawer in water) with a neutral detergent intended for cleaning refrigerators. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Before cleaning the compartment (also from the outside), it is necessary to remove the drawer and disconnect the electrical power to the compartment.

IN THE EVENT OF NON-USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it. Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the compartments. By doing this, you avoid the development of mould and bad odours.

IN THE EVENT OF AN INTERRUPTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as possible. Do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. If there is a prolonged power cut, the black out alarm may also activate (in products with electronics).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink.

The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely automatically.

The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the compartment is a sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and then collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Depending on the model, the product may be equipped with a special "Zero Degrees" compartment, which is ideal for storing fresh meat and fish.

Warning: do not clean refrigerator accessories in a dishwasher.

Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors.

Note: in very humid conditions, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock), wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan, if there is one.

Removing the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on the model)

Pull the drawer outwards as far as it will go, lift it up, and take it out.

To make it easier to remove the fruit and vegetable drawer, it may be necessary to empty (and possibly remove) the two lower door shelves and then continue to remove the drawer.

Fan and antibacterial anti-odour filter (depending on the model)

The fan allows for the even distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and, consequently, better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area. The fan can be turned on/off manually (see the Quick Guide); if it is turned on, it operates automatically when necessary.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Model with separate freezer compartment

The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely. It is advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. It is important to wrap the food in a way that prevents the ingress of water, humidity or condensation.

Making ice cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray (if available) with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice under any circumstances.

Removing the drawers (depending on the model)

Pull the drawers outwards as far as they will go, lift them up, and remove them. To get more volume, the freezer compartment can be used without the drawers.

Make sure that the door is closed properly after putting the food back on the grilles/shelves.

Models with an internal product compartment

In the freezer compartment you can also freeze fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate.

How to freeze fresh food:

  • Arrange the food on the grille, if present (figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the compartment (figure 2).
  • Put the food in the middle of the compartment without it coming into contact with food that is already frozen, keeping a distance of about 20 mm (figures 1 and 2).

Figure 2HOTPOINT BCB 70301 AA - How to freeze fresh food: - 2

HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

(depending on the model)

For frost-free models, it is not necessary to carry out any defrosting procedures.

For other models, the build-up of frost is a normal occurrence.

The quantity and speed of frost accumulation vary depending on the ambient conditions and how often the door is opened. It is advisable to set the temperature colder or, if available, turn on the quick freeze function (see Quick Guide) four hours before removing the food from the freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during the defrosting phase. To defrost, turn the appliance off and remove the drawers. Put the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.

Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.

Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside.

STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on the model)

The STOP FROST SYSTEM (available depending on the model) facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory (figure 1) is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment.

To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory, follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below.

PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY

  • Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper drawer (figure 2).
  • Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory (figure 3) and remove it (figure 4), taking care not to drop it on the glass shelf below. Note: if the accessory is jammed or difficult to remove, do not keep trying to remove it, but proceed with the complete defrost of the freezer compartment.
  • Close the door to the freezer compartment.
  • Remove the frost on the accessory by rinsing it under running (not hot) water (figure 5).
  • Let the accessory drip dry and dry the plastic parts with a soft cloth.
  • Reinsert the accessory by placing the back part on the projections shown in figure 7-A, then refasten the handle of the accessory to the clasps above (figure 7-B).
  • Reinsert the upper drawer and close the door to the freezer compartment.

It is possible to clean the STOP FROST accessory on its own without completely defrosting the freezer compartment. Cleaning the STOP FROST accessory regularly helps to reduce the need to completely defrost the freezer compartment.

Note: the product specifications, including volume and energy, are calculated without the STOP FROST accessory.

HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (if present)

The freezer compartment can also be used for freezing fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

Freezing fresh food

  • The recommended position for fresh food is that indicated in Fig. 1, if a wire shelf is present, or that in Fig. 2 for models with no wire shelf.
  • Place food in the middle of the compartment, * making sure it does not touch already frozen food, but is placed at a distance of approx. 20 mm (fig. 1 and 2).

When purchasing frozen food products:

  • Make sure the packaging is not damaged, since the product quality may have deteriorated. If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.
  • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
  • Place the items in the compartment as soon as you get home.
  • If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
  • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. Always follow the storage instructions on the frozen food packages.

Making ice cubes

  • Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the compartment * ***.
  • Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the bottom of the compartment.

HOW TO DEFROST THE APPLIANCE

Before defrosting the appliance, unplug it or switch off the power at the mains. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.

Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly. (Fig. 1)

Defrosting the compartment (if present)

Defrost the × × × compartment once or twice a year or when ice formation is excessive. It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The amount of ice which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will vary depending on ambient conditions and the frequency with which the freezer door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance.

If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.

  • Remove the food from the freezer compartment and group it together in a cool place or in a cool bag.
  • Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.
  • Clean the interior of the freezer with a sponge and warm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
  • Put the food back into the freezer.
  • Close the door.

Plug the appliance back in and switch it on, following the instructions in the chapter "How to operate the refrigerator compartment". The settings and selections made prior to switching off will be restored.

INSTALLATION

Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Transit damages must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours of receipt of the appliance. The appliance should not be installed close to heat sources such as cookers, central heating, boilers, sunlight, etc. It must however be located in a well ventilated dry space.

Attention: Accessibility to the plug has to be guaranteed even after installation of the appliance to disconnect it, if required. Alternatively, connect the appliance to the mains by means of a two-pole switching device with contact separation of 3mm situated in an accessible position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND OPERATION

Please check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate situated inside the compartment corresponds to the voltage in your home. The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no liability for injury to persons or damage to objects arising from the non observance of this requirement.

When the appliance is plugged in, if the thermostat knob is not set to symbol , the green and the red lamps (A) and (B) (Fig. 1) light up. The green control light always remains alight and indicates the operation of the appliance. The red control light remains alight until the set operation temperature has been attained. It lights up again when the temperature inside the freezer rises due to frequent or prolonged door opening, and when the appliance has been loaded with fresh food to be frozen.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE

The thermostat (Fig. 1) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position · indicates that the operation of the appliance is interrupted. The ideal storage temperature for frozen food over a long period is -18°C. In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and +25°C), we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to a middle position. To obtain colder or warmer temperatures than -18°C, turn the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest setting respectively. We remind you that internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, and the frequency of door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. To check the temperature of the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the food; if it is placed on the food, it will indicate the temperature of the air, which does not correspond to that of the food stored.

USE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open (if present).

FREEZING IN (Fig. 2)

The amount of fresh food which can be frozen in a 24-hour period at an ambient temperature of +25°C is stated on the rating plate.

Do not store warm foods in the freezer. Never re-freeze partially or completely defrosted foods. Prepare and wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium or plastic foils or place them in appropriate containers. Label the packets indicating the freezing-in date and the contents. The freezer compartment maintains the storage temperature for 15 hours approx. even in case of power failure.

HOTPOINT BCB 70301 AA - FREEZING IN (Fig. 2) - 1

We suggest however you leave the door closed during this time.

Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and some products, such as flavoured water ices, should not be consumed too cold.

Note: Due to the efficiency of the door seal, it is not always possible to open the freezer door immediately after closing it. Wait some minutes before trying to open it.

PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES

3/4 fill the ice cube trays with water and place them in the low temperature compartment. If the trays stick to the bottom of the compartment, do not detach them with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage the appliance. Use, if necessary, the handle of a spoon. To allow removal of ice cubes from plastic trays, bend them slightly.

Attention: Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after removal from the low temperature compartment as they may give rise to cold burns.

STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD

When buying frozen food, it is suggested to use thermal bags or cold boxes. They should be the last purchases made and should be well wrapped in newspaper. When home, store them in the compartment, with the least possible delay. In any case these foods have to be used within the date printed on the packet.

THAWING

Here are some basic suggestions:

Raw vegetables: Do not thaw - put straight into boiling water and cook as usual.

Meat (large cuts): Thaw in the refrigerator without unwrapping them. Before cooking, leave at room temperature for some hours.

(Small cuts): Thaw at room temperature or cook directly.

Fish: Thaw in the refrigerator without unwrapping or cook directly before being completely thawed.

Previously cooked food: Re-heat in the oven without removing from its aluminium container.

Fruit: Thaw in the refrigerator.

DEFROSTING

Generally you need to defrost two or three times a year when the layer of frost reaches a 3 mm thickness. We suggest you periodically remove the frost from the freezing plate by means of a plastic scraper. Avoid using sharp or cutting instruments. Defrosting should be carried out when the quantity of food stored is minimum. Wrap the frozen food into several layers of newspaper (or in a cover) and place them in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Adjust the thermostat control knob to position, disconnect the appliance from the mains and leave the door open. Remove the baskets by pulling forward and up. Do not use commercial defrosting products as they could contain dangerous components. At completion of defrosting, clean and dry the appliance carefully. Reconnect the freezer to the mains supply. Reload the freezer with the frozen food.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

A periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to your appliance. Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before any intervention. Clean periodically the appliance with a solution of water and vinegar. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive or detergents. Clean periodically the door gasket with water and dry carefully. Avoid soiling the door gasket with oil or other grease which could damage it. After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.

HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS

If you plan to be away for a long time, disconnect the appliance from the mains, empty and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling musty. If you plan to be away for a short time, let the appliance operate normally.

SERVICE

The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to a fault but it may also result from poor installation or usage. To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be charged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide.

If the red light is on continuously or flashing, the internal temperature is too high.

Check that:

  • the door is not properly shut;
  • the thermostat control knob is correctly set (see chapter "Adjustment of the temperature");
  • the freezer is not near a source of heat;
  • there is a large build up of frost on the inner walls; the air flow is not restricted.

If the compressor functions continuously. Check that:

  • the ambient temperature is too warm;
  • the door is not being opened too frequently. The appliance is excessively noisy. Check that: the appliance is level.

The appliance does not operate. Check that:

  • the thermostat control knob is not set to position ;
  • there is not a power failure;
  • the plug is making good contact with the supply socket;
  • any automatic circuit breakers have tripped or any fuses blown;
  • the supply cable is intact (see also Note).

Note: When replacing a damaged supply cord, be sure the new cord is correctly clamped. If you have followed this troubleshooting guide and your freezer still does not work properly, get in touch with your Retailer or Service Agent. State clearly what is wrong and the type and serial number of your freezer.
