Hotpoint is committed to environmental sustainability, using recycled components when possible. Dispose of packaging materials responsibly and follow local guidelines for recycling electrical appliances.

Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Hotpoint Refrigerator.

Proper Installation

Install the Hotpoint HZ2022 Refrigerator in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight and is not placed near heat sources. This helps in preventing overheating and ensures efficient operation.

Maintain Ventilation

Do not obstruct the rear fan grills, as the compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.

Efficient Use

Avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening it too frequently to conserve energy. This also helps maintain the internal temperature and reduces stress on the compressor.

Proper Food Storage

Do not fill the appliance with too much food to allow cold air to circulate freely. This is crucial for proper food preservation and to prevent the compressor from working continuously.

Avoid Hot Foods

Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. Allow it to cool first to prevent increasing the internal temperature and forcing the compressor to work harder, consuming more energy.
