Design
Refrigerator freezers from Hotpoint are fitted with a range of innovative technologies that keep food fresher for longer. This includes total no-frost to ensure air is always circulated in the appliance so the moisture and ice don't build up and active oxygen that reduces up to 99 per cent of the bacteria that can be found in fridges.
This model comes with two storage compartments in the refrigerator section. The top drawer has an adjustable dial that regulates the humidity, which means that fruits and vegetables can stay crisper longer. The bottom drawer is used for meat and fish and has a ribbed floor for stability. Both drawers were made to be bigger than those in other models, which means they are much easier to store groceries in. A freezer that is overcrowded can cause the cold air to circulate less which increases the likelihood of heat pockets forming and making the appliance less efficient to use.
The refrigerator is built with sturdy French-style doors which are easy to open and shut however, they restrict the amount of space that is available on the door. The left door rack holds a six-pinter milk container from a supermarket and the right holds four pints, however there's no room for anything more than this in either of the two other sets of doors. The top shelf of each door is movable either way by 5.5cm. However, smaller people might find it difficult to reach it without stepping.
A control panel at the front of the refrigerator cabinet clearly displays all key fridge and freezer functions including temperature, so it's easy to check if there's any issues. There are a few extra functions to simplify life for you, like the super freeze button, that quickly reduces the temperature of the freezer to preserve fresh foods, and an icemaker which can make up to three kilograms of ice per day.
Hotpoint refrigerators are covered by one-year guarantees and this includes both parts and labour. If you have any problems with your fridge or freezer the customer care staff is available to offer assistance and advice. They can also arrange for technicians to visit, if needed.
