Frequently Asked Questions - HBOU 172UKN HOOVER
How to adjust the temperature of the freezer?
Use the left button (A) on the control panel. Press several times to scroll through the settings: -16 °C, -18 °C, -20 °C, -22 °C, -24 °C or the Super Freeze function. The temperature is displayed on the indicator (B).
What to do if the freezer does not cool?
First check that the appliance is plugged in and the fuse has not blown. Make sure the thermostat is not set to the off position. Also check that ventilation is adequate and the rear condenser is not blocked by dust.
How to defrost the freezer?
Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Remove the food and leave the door open. Collect the defrost water at the bottom. Never use sharp tools or heat sources to speed up defrosting. Dry thoroughly before restarting.
Can I reverse the door opening direction?
Yes, the freezer allows door reversal. Follow the steps in the manual: remove the upper and lower hinges, move the plugs, reassemble the door on the other side and adjust the seal with a hairdryer at 10 cm distance.
What is the maximum freezing capacity in 24 hours?
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance's rating plate. Generally, it is about 10 to 15 kg for this type of freezer. Check the plate for the exact value.
How to clean the inside of the freezer?
Unplug the appliance. Clean the drawers and walls with a baking soda and warm water solution. Do not use abrasive products. Rinse and dry completely before reconnecting.
What to do in case of power failure?
Do not open the door. Frozen food stays cold for up to 20 hours. If the outage lasts longer, check the food: consume it quickly or refreeze it after cooking.
How to install the freezer correctly?
Place the appliance in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Leave at least 30 mm space above and a ventilation opening of 500x30 mm in the cabinet. Level it with the adjustable feet.
Why is there frost inside?
Frost is normal and forms on the inner wall. It dissipates and drains through a hole at the bottom. If the layer exceeds 3 mm, defrost to avoid excessive energy consumption.
What does the Super Freeze function mean?
This function lowers the temperature to -24 °C for 24 hours to quickly freeze large quantities of fresh food. It turns off automatically. Activate it 2 to 3 hours before placing the food.
