HOOVER Built-in Frost Free Fridge-freezer HFFBP 3050K

CONTROL PANEL

The thermostat box to control the appliance is located inside the fridge compartment on the top right. To check whether the appliance is functioning, make sure that the thermostat knob is not set on “0”. Adjust the knob according to the desired temperature in the fridge.
In this product the freezer compartment is automatically defrosted.
A small amount of frost or drops of water on the back of the fridge compartment when the fridge is working is normal.
Make sure the water outlet is always clean. Make sure foods do not touch the back or sides of the fridge compartment

Important: If the room temperature is very warm, the appliance may work continuously and a layer of frost will deposit on the back of the fridge compartment. In this case, turn the knob to lower settings.

FREEZING OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Place the foods to be frozen in the drawer. At the start of the freezing process, so as not to make the fridge compartment excessively cold, it may be necessary to turn the thermostat knob back, according to the load and room temperature. Once the freezing process is completed, return the thermostat knob to the usual value. The rating plate states the maximum quantity of foods that can be frozen.

DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

In case of a fridge with FROST FREE technology, the freezer compartment does not need to be defrosted because this product is equipped with an automatic system which prevents ice from forming;
In case of a version without FROST FREE technology, it is recommended to manually defrost the product when the layer of frost is more than 3 mm thick, by setting the knob on “0”. Open the door and remove the foodstuffs, making sure to store them in a cool place. Leave the door open as long as is necessary for the layer of frost to melt. Dry the inside of the freezer with a sponge/cloth. Reposition the foodstuffs and reset the knob to the usual values.

N.B.: This is the rating plate. If you need to contact our Service Department in the event of faults, remember to give them the information on the plate.
N.B.: For better air circulation, leave some room between the foodstuffs. In case of models with FROST FREE technology, avoid obstructing the cooling air vents.
N.B.: To TEST consumption and preservation standards, remove all drawers except for the bottom one.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING

Once the product has been built in, position the rear part of the column in contact with the wall so as to prevent access to the compressor compartment.
For the product to operate correctly it is essential to allow adequate air circulation so as to cool down the condenser located in the rear part of the appliance.
For this reason, the column must be equipped with a rear chimney, whose upper opening must not be blocked and with a front slot which will be covered with a ventilation grill.
