Using The Freezer To Its Full Potential; Maintenance And Care; Switching The Appliance Off - Hotpoint Ariston EBYH 18 F Série Mode D'emploi

SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height
is adjustable , allowing easy storage of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the temperature is
too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the
temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or
if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal
for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before
adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
setting.

Food Care Zone
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and fish.
Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the Food
Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food can be
stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
*
Dual led
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new dual LED lighting
system offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas.
If the LEDs need to be replaced, please contact the Technical
Assistance Service.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be
stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where
the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid
freezing.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate
the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food in
the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER
FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24
hours;
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is

models.
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located
on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for
example: Kg/24h: 4).
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin
and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an
adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the
evaporator plates.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period
of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer
compartment and food preservation will be reduced.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

Easy Ice
The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer
compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available. The
trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.
Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an
extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or left
part of the top drawers.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance.
2. Pull the plug out of the socket.
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm
does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, hold the
ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect the
appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.
I Care function
The I Care function can be activated to optimise energy
consumption while maintaining the cooling performance of the
product.This function maximises the amount of energy saved.
Under these conditions, the display remains off even when the door
is opened. The function is activated by pressing and holding the
super freezer and FRZ (+) buttons simultaneously for at least 6
seconds. Once the function has been activated, all LEDs will light
up for 2 seconds to confirm activation, and the temperature setting
of +5, -18 will appear on the display. The display switches off after
5 seconds. To change the temperature, simply press the + and –
buttons until you have reached the desired temperature.However,
the I Care function can also be disabled by switching the product
off using the ON/OFF button. When it is switched back on, the I
Care will be disabled.In humid environments, when the I Care
function is enabled, slight condensation may form on the appliance
door; normal operating conditions are restored when the function is
disabled.
