FAQs

How often should I defrost this fridge freezer?

This Hoover fridge freezer features a Total No Frost system, which means you do not need to perform manual defrosting. The system automatically prevents ice and frost build-up in both the fridge and freezer compartments.

What is the purpose of the Super Cool function?

The Super Cool function rapidly lowers the temperature inside the fridge compartment. It is ideal for quickly chilling newly purchased groceries, ensuring they maintain their freshness and do not raise the temperature of already stored food.

How do I connect the water dispenser?

The water dispenser requires a connection to your home's mains water supply. Please consult the installation manual or a qualified plumber to ensure a correct and safe connection. An appropriate water filter may also need to be installed.

Is this appliance energy efficient?

This model has an Energy Efficiency Class E rating. While it offers advanced features, it consumes more energy compared to appliances with higher ratings (e.g., A, B, C). Check the annual energy consumption figure (320 kWh) for a more detailed understanding.

What is the noise level of this fridge freezer?

The noise level is rated at 37 dB, with a Noise Emission Class C. This is relatively quiet, making it suitable for most kitchen environments without being overly disruptive.

Can I adjust the shelves in the fridge?

Yes, the fridge features adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize the interior layout to accommodate items of different heights and sizes, maximizing storage flexibility.

What is the storage capacity of the fridge and freezer?

The fridge compartment has a net capacity of 331 litres, and the freezer compartment has a net capacity of 192 litres, giving a total net storage capacity of 523 litres.

Troubleshooting

Appliance is not cooling sufficiently

Check that the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the doors are closing properly and that the seals are clean. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance and that the condenser coils are clean. Avoid overloading the appliance.

Water dispenser not working

Ensure the water supply is connected and the valve is open. Check if the water filter needs replacing. Verify that the dispenser lever or button is being pressed correctly. Ensure the internal water line is not frozen (unplug appliance and allow to thaw).

Excessive noise

Ensure the appliance is level and stable. Check that nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit. The normal operating sounds may include humming from the compressor or clicking from the thermostat.

Frost build-up despite 'No Frost' system

Ensure the doors are closing completely and the seals are intact. Avoid leaving the doors open for extended periods. Check that the air vents inside the compartments are not blocked by food items.

Interior light not working

Check if the light bulb needs replacing. Ensure the door is fully open; the light may be designed to turn off when the door is partially closed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the appliance is placed on a level surface, with adequate ventilation around the sides, back, and top (refer to dimensions for required clearance).
  2. Allow the fridge freezer to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  3. Plug the appliance into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.
  4. Set the initial temperature for the fridge and freezer compartments. It is recommended to set the fridge to around 4°C and the freezer to -18°C.
  5. Allow the appliance to cool for several hours before loading food.

Compatibility:

  • This is a freestanding appliance and requires its own dedicated power socket.
  • Ensure your kitchen has sufficient space for the appliance's dimensions (Height: 1775 mm, Width: 908 mm, Depth: 647 mm) and required clearances.
  • The water dispenser requires a connection to a mains water supply. Ensure appropriate plumbing is available nearby.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Interior: Regularly clean the interior of the fridge and freezer with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
  • Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The silver finish can be polished with a suitable stainless-steel cleaner if desired.
  • Cleaning the Water Dispenser Filter: If applicable, refer to the user manual for instructions on cleaning or replacing the water filter to ensure water quality.
  • Condenser Coils: Periodically (every 6-12 months), clean the condenser coils at the back of the appliance to maintain efficiency. Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
  • Door Seals: Clean door seals regularly with a damp cloth to ensure a tight seal and prevent energy loss.
