USEFUL ADVICE 13 Useful Advice Advice on Using Freezer Drawers The freezer compartments can be used with or without the drawers. Hold securely on both sides, lift the front of the drawer to release and remove. It is generally more convenient to use the drawers but if a lot of food is to be stored the drawers can be taken out and food placed directly onto the grids. Ensure that packets/containers of food are thoroughly dry before placing onto the grids. Note : If the drawers are not used, DO NOT store food in front of the line embossed in the interior cabinet wall. Food loaded in front of this line will limit the air circulation and affect the performance of the freezer. USEFUL ADVICE Load limit indicator When using the frozen food storage drawers, ensure that they are pushed back fully before closing the door. Food can be separated into different storage drawers for easy identification. When lifting or removing the large deep drawer it is important to hold the side handles and not the front handle. WARNING: The freezer drawers can become heavy when fully loaded with food. Care must be taken if attempting to lift or carry a full freezer drawer. It is recommended to remove the required food, rather than the whole freezer drawer. Note : It is important not to touch or move any of the freezer drawers/parts with wet hands as it may cause freezer burn or discomfort. Ice Tray When making ice, use the tray provided. Uncovered food should not be placed near the ice tray as it can affect the flavour of the ice. Note : Empty, wash and refill the ice tray periodically to ensure freshness. . 14 Defrosting Defrosting Fridge compartment No manual defrosting required The fridge compartment will defrost automatically. During defrost periods water droplets form on the interior back wall of your Fridge and refreeze afterwards. WARNING: Ensure that stored food does not come into contact with the interior back wall of your Fridge. Also ensure the defrost gutter drain hole is kept clear see `Cleaning' in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section. Freezer compartment Regular use of your appliance causes ice to gradually build up on internal surfaces increasing the running costs of your appliance. When the ice is between 3-5mm (1/4 inch) Hotpoint recommend `fully defrosting your freezer'. Remove frozen food, wrap or cover it and place into insulated containers to keep frozen whilst the freezer defrosts. Insert the supplied defrost tube into the groove situated in the floor at the front of the freezer. As the frost begins to melt, use the supplied plastic scraper to remove frost. [. . . ] Expansion and contraction of parts inside the fridge freezer can produce a cracking noise as they rapidly change temperature. A valve at the back of the fridge freezer can make a clicking noise as it turns the cooling to the fridge on and off. 21 TROUBLESHOOTING Hotpoint guarantee "Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" We give you a unique `satisfaction guaranteed' promise - valid for 90 days - after you have purchased your Hotpoint appliance.
