TECHNICAL FEATURES
HUMIDITY EQUALISER (if present)
The exclusive Hoover Humidity Equaliser uses this humidity
naturally generated by fruits and vegetables to keep always a level
between 85% and 95%.
ANTIBACTERIAL SYSTEM (if present)
LED UVA Lights activate a Titanium Filter producing a “photocatalysis” reaction which will destroy
bacteria within the refrigerator air. This reaction works when the refrigerator door is closed to avoid
purified air leakage.
In Total No Frost products, it is inserted in sky box and it works every time
the compressor works.
Filter is permanent and therefore does not need changing.
The antibacterial system
has to be turned off
during the energy
consumption test.

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of
the Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in
the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area: this is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs,
yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces
and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat speads, cooking fats and lard.
Coldest area (0℃ to 5℃): this is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.
The pictures are for illustrative purposes only.
Crisper: this is the most humid part of the Fridge. Vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg. Unwashed
whole lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc can be stored here.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN IS WRAPPED.
NOTE：Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the
fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses
or liquids in the fridge.
Electrical operation after 3h on the freezer, the temperature in the cabinet above -12°C, the alarm
light is lit, and buzzer sounds.
Storing Frozen Food
Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food
manufacturer’s instructions for a freezer compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained the following should be remembered:
1．Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2．Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
DO
DON’T
Defrost food from the freezer thoroughly in a
fridge or in a microwave oven following
defrosting and cooking instructions.
Use pointed sharp edged objects such as
knives, forks to remove the ice.
Defrost frozen meat completely before cooking.
Put hot food in the freezer. Let it cool down
first.
Store commercially frozen food in accordance
with the instructions given on the packets that
you buy.
Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans
containing carbonated liquids into the freezer
as they may burst.
Check contents of the refrigerator at regular
intervals.
Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
Clean and defrost your refrigerator regularly. Freeze fizzy drinks.
Prepare fresh food for freezing in small portions
to ensure rapid freezing.
Consume ice-cream and water ices direct from
freezer. It may cause “freezer burns” on lips.
Always choose high quality fresh food and be
sure it is thoroughly clean before you freeze it.
Store poisonous or dangerous substances in the
freezer.
Wrap all foods in aluminum foil or freezer quality
plastic bags and make sure any air is excluded.
Wrap frozen food when you buy it and put it into
the freezer shortly.
Keep food for as short a time as possible and
adhere to “Best Before”, “Use By” dates.
For more about storing, download the App and visit “Tips & Hints”.
• It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether
possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
• For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables)
may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers,
whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage
time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment
(one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
Position different food in different compartments according to be below table
Refrigerator compartment
Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge compartment
• Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices,
drinks, condiments.
•
Do not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)

ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest:
• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and
in a well-ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature
and therefore causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door
closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible.
• Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
TAKE CARE
Defrosting
This appliance has automatic defrosting system, no need to defrost by hand.
Cleaning and Care
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets
in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it will normally run down the back
wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food
can not enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food
residues from around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages.
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors are
closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer.

1. Before carrying out the LED replacement always disconnect the mains supply.
2. Hold and lift up the LED light cover.
3. Remove the old LED by unscrewing it in an anti-clockwise direction.
4. Replace with a new LED light by screwing it in a clockwise direction marking sure that it is
