Hotpoint BL31 - Manual (Page 9)

Before using your Integrated Larder Fridge for
the first time the interior, including the door
and all removable parts should be wiped out.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in either a
solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of
soda to one pint of water, or Milton sterilising
fluid diluted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING: NEVER USE ANY HOUSEHOLD
CLEANER OR DETERGENT, ABRASIVE
POWDERS OR WAX POLISH. THESE NOT
ONLY DAMAGE THE SURFACES, THEY ALSO
LEAVE A SMELL IN THE LARDER FRIDGE.
Final Check
Before you start using the Larder Fridge, check
that:
1. It is thoroughly dry inside
2. Air can circulate freely
3. The feet have been adjusted, ie the feet
are firmly on the ground and ensure the
appliance is level.
Starting
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch
on the electricity supply. Open your Larder
Fridge door and the light will come on. There
is a control dial on the right hand side of
Larder Fridge interior. Turning the
temperature selector dial from ‘O’ (off )
towards ‘7’ to the medium setting ‘4’. You will
hear a noise as the compressor starts up.
Running in the Compressor
Your Larder Fridge is operated by a
compressor which switches on and off in
order to maintain the Larder Fridge’s
temperature. The compressor is a precision
piece of machinery like a car engine and
requires a a running in period of up to two
months. During this time the compressor has
to work a little harder and this may result in
more noise than usual.
Temperature selection
*
Higher settings on the knob (towards 7)
mean lower temperatures. temperature in
the interior of the appliance may even
drop below 0˚C.
When the ambient temperature is normal,
we recommend the medium setting (4).
* The temperature in the refrigerator is
affected by how often the door is opened
and the amount of fresh food recently
stored.
* In the (off) position, the appliance does
not operate (the cooling system is
switched off ). The power supply to the
interior light will not be affected and the
light will operate when the door is
opened.
Tips for energy saving
*
Try not to open the door to often.
* Check that air is circulating properly
through the plinth grille. (e.g. the grille is
not blocked or covered).
