What to do if my Hotpoint Freezer temperature is too high?
If the temperature inside your Hotpoint Freezer is too high, first ensure that the appliance controls are correctly set. Consider whether a large amount of food has recently been added to the freezer. Also, check that the door isn't opened too often and that it closes properly.
Why is there water in the defrost pan of my Hotpoint Freezer?
The presence of water in the defrost pan of your Hotpoint Freezer is normal in hot, damp weather, and the pan can even be half full. To prevent overflow, make sure the appliance is level.
What to do if my Hotpoint Freezer is not working?
If your Hotpoint Freezer is not working, check if the power cable is plugged into a live socket with the correct voltage. Also, verify the protection devices and fuses of your home's electrical system.
Why does my Hotpoint UH6F1CW1 Freezer motor run so much?
The motor running time depends on several factors, including the number of door openings, the amount of food stored, the room temperature, and the temperature control settings. Ensure the condenser (at the back of the appliance) is free of dust. Verify that the doors are properly closed and that the door seals are correctly fitted. On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor will naturally run longer. Also, if the freezer door has been left open for a while or if large amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer to cool down the interior.
Why won't the doors on my Hotpoint UH6F1CW1 open and close properly?
If the doors of your Hotpoint Freezer aren't opening and closing correctly, check that food packages are not blocking the door. Also, make sure that the internal parts or the automatic ice maker are not out of position. Inspect the door seals to ensure they are not dirty or sticky. Finally, ensure that the appliance is level.
Why is the light not working in my Hotpoint UH6F1CW1 Freezer?
If the light in your Hotpoint Freezer is not working, first check the protection devices and fuses of your home's electrical system. Then, ensure that the power cable is properly plugged into a live socket with the correct voltage. In case the LEDs are broken the user must call the Service for exchange of the same type available only at our After-sales Service Centers or authorized dealers.
Why are the edges of my Hotpoint UH6F1CW1 Freezer cabinet warm to the touch?
It is normal for the edges of the Hotpoint Freezer cabinet, which come into contact with the door seal, to feel warm to the touch during hot weather or when the compressor is running.
This document provides instructions for use of a freezer appliance, covering its installation, functions, usage tips, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The freezer is designed to store frozen food, make ice cubes, and freeze fresh food. It incorporates several advanced functions to optimize performance and energy efficiency.
Smart Display*: This function helps save energy by turning off the display after two seconds of inactivity. To adjust temperature or use other functions, the display needs to be reactivated by pressing any button. It automatically disables after a power failure and reduces energy consumption from the external display.
ProFreeze: This function maintains the correct temperature in two scenarios:
On/Stand-by: This function allows you to turn the freezer compartments On or put them in Stand-by mode. Pressing and holding the On/Stand-by button for 3 seconds puts the product in Stand-by, during which the internal light does not work. This operation does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. To switch it On again, simply press the button.
Black Out Alarm: After a power blackout, the appliance monitors the freezer temperature. If the temperature rises above freezing level when electricity is resupplied, the Black Out indicator turns on, the Alarm indicator blinks, and an acoustical alarm sounds. To reset, press the Stop Alarm button once. If food is unfrozen but cold, consume it within 24 hours. If food has thawed and refrozen, it should be disposed of due to degraded quality and potential unsafety.
Temperature Alarm: An acoustic alarm sounds, and the temperature indicator (°C) blinks when:
Door Open Alarm: The Alarm icon blinks, and an acoustic alarm sounds if the door is left open for more than 2 minutes. To disengage, close the door or press the Stop Alarm button once.
Fast Freeze*: This function optimizes appliance performance for freezing fresh food. It should be activated 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. After placing food, 24 hours on Fast Freeze is usually sufficient, and the function automatically deactivates after 50 hours. For small amounts of food, it can be deactivated after a few hours to save energy.
Eco Night Function (Night Time Rate)*: This function concentrates energy consumption during reduced rate hours (typically at night) in countries with time-based multi-rate electricity systems. To activate, press the button at the reduced rate start time. When the Eco Night indicator is ON, the function is active, adapting energy consumption to use less energy during the day. It remains on until deactivated or in case of a power failure/appliance switch-off.
Freeze Control*: An advanced technology that minimizes temperature fluctuations in the freezer compartment using an innovative air system, independent of the fridge. This reduces freeze burns and preserves food quality and color. It operates within a temperature range of -22°C to -24°C. If the freezer temperature is set warmer than -22°C, it automatically adjusts to -22°C. If the user modifies the temperature outside the working range, the function switches off. It is inhibited when Fast Freezing is engaged.
Automatic No Frost: This product defrosts automatically based on usage conditions and ambient humidity. No Frost freezers circulate chilled air, preventing ice formation and eliminating the need for manual defrosting. This keeps frozen items from sticking, labels legible, and storage space clear. Combined with ProFreeze, it directs cooling power efficiently, optimizing energy efficiency.
Ice Mate*: This feature allows you to make ice cubes. The ice cube tray can be removed by pulling it towards you. Fill it with potable water up to 2/3 of its capacity, then place it back in the freezer compartment. Wait approximately 4 hours for ice cubes to form. The Ice Mate is removable and can be placed horizontally anywhere in the freezer or taken out if not needed. To take out ice cubes, ensure the storage bin is under the ice tray, twist one lever clockwise until the tray twists slightly, and the cubes fall into the bin. Repeat for the other half. To remove the entire Ice Mate, lift it slightly and pull it towards you.
LED Light System*: The freezer compartment uses LED lights for better illumination and very low energy consumption. If the LED light system malfunctions, contact Service for replacement.
The appliance is designed for user convenience and optimal food preservation.
