Using The Refrigerator To Its Full Potential; Using The Freezer To Its Full Potential - Hotpoint BCB 3 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator;
ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and
microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting
unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging
the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing
bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.
The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm,
due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts
is released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by
the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial
action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated key on the dashboard.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate
a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be
an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green
led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge
compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission) noticed
by blue light.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature
quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food
items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly.
This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level
of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large
containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete
removal of the shelf.

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.
FRESH BOX *
This is the new container, designed to keep various foods (such
as cheese and cold meats) fresher for longer. If it is not needed, it
can easily be removed from the refrigerator compartment. If there
is a Bottle Shelf, more internal space can be created by placing
the Fresh Box directly inside it.
*
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.
*
LED
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new LED lighting system
offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas. If the LED
needs to be replaced, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• 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 re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within
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
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4).
