Defrosting

increasing the running costs of your appliance. When the ice is between 3-5mm (

inch)  Hotpoint recommend ‘fully defrosting your freezer’.

Fully defrosting your freezer.

WARNING: Switch off the electricity supply and pull out the mains plug.

1.

Remove frozen food, wrap or cover and store in a cool place.

2.

Remove the storage drawers

3.

A defrost tube is stored in the floor of the freezer. Insert the tube into the 
groove situated in the floor at the front of the freezer. Place a container 
beneath the tube to collect the defrost water.

4.

As the frost begins to melt, use the supplied plastic scraper to remove frost.
Never use sharp metal tools to remove frost as they may damage your 
freezer beyond repair.

5.

Sponge out excess defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer.

NOTE : When defrosting is complete, clean the interior thoroughly,
see CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section.

6.

Replace storage drawers.
