Can this freezer be placed in an unheated garage?
Yes, this Hoover freezer is specifically designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures as low as -15°C, making it suitable for placement in garages or basements.
How often do I need to defrost this freezer?
Thanks to the Low Frost technology, ice build-up is reduced, meaning you'll need to defrost less frequently than with conventional freezers. However, manual defrosting may still be necessary periodically.
How do I create more space for large items?
The Flexi Space feature allows you to remove one of the freezer drawers. This creates extra height and space to accommodate larger items like turkeys or big bags of frozen goods.
Is the door reversible?
Yes, the door is reversible. However, we recommend consulting a qualified installer for this service to ensure it is done correctly and safely.
What is the annual energy consumption?
The annual energy consumption is rated at 147 kWh, classifying it under the new Energy Label as Class E.
What features are available on the hOn App?
The hOn app offers several smart features, including an Inventory Assistant to keep track of your frozen items, a Shopping List generator, and access to video tutorials for guidance.
What is the star rating of the freezer compartment?
The freezer compartment has a 4-star rating, which indicates its capability for long-term storage of frozen foods.
How long will food stay frozen if the power goes out?
In the event of a power failure, this freezer can maintain a safe frozen temperature for up to 11 hours.
Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling
Check if the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is working. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the doors are closing properly and not being blocked. Check for any excessive ice build-up that might be obstructing airflow.
Unusual noise
Ensure the freezer is level using the adjustable feet. Normal operating sounds include the compressor running or refrigerant circulating. If noise is excessive or persistent, check for items vibrating against the back or sides of the unit.
Water leaking inside or outside the freezer
Check the drain hole at the back of the freezer interior for blockages. If the leak is from the exterior, inspect the defrost drain tube and ensure it is properly connected and not damaged. Make sure the freezer is level.
Ice build-up is excessive
While Low Frost technology reduces build-up, excessive moisture or frequent door openings can contribute. Ensure door seals are clean and intact. Consider a manual defrost if build-up significantly impacts storage space.
hOn App not connecting
Ensure your smartphone has a stable Wi-Fi connection. Verify the freezer is connected to your home Wi-Fi network (follow app instructions for setup). Restart your router and the freezer. Ensure the hOn app is updated to the latest version.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Placement: Choose a dry, level location that is within the appliance's operational temperature range (from -15°C to +43°C ambient temperature). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The appliance is freestanding.
- Levelling: Use the adjustable feet at the front to ensure the freezer is stable and level. This is crucial for proper door closure and efficient operation.
- Power Connection: Plug the freezer into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50 Hz). Ensure the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
- Initial Cooling: Allow the freezer to run for at least 4-6 hours before loading it with food. This allows it to reach the optimal operating temperature.
Compatibility:
- Climate Class: SN-T, meaning it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C.
- Door Reversal: The door hinge is set to the right but is reversible. Consult a qualified installer for door reversal services, as improper installation can affect performance and safety.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Defrosting: While the Low Frost technology reduces ice build-up, manual defrosting may still be required periodically. When defrosting is necessary, empty the freezer, unplug the unit, and leave the doors open. Clean up melted ice and water.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings are kept clear of dust and obstructions to maintain energy efficiency.
- App Usage: Keep the hOn app updated for the latest features and tutorials.
