Hotpoint – Total No Frost built-in fridge freezer (HTC18 T532 UK)

The Hotpoint Total No Frost built-in fridge freezer (HTC18 T532 UK), launched in July 2021, is designed to bring advanced cooling and food preservation technology into the built-in market. With open-plan living remaining popular, built-in fridge freezers enable consumers to conceal their cooling appliance behind furniture doors, matching the rest of their kitchen, to provide a sleek and modern aesthetic. The Total No Frost built-in fridge freezer (HTC18 T532 UK) from Hotpoint means that consumers can benefit from keeping their appliance hidden away, while guaranteeing optimal preservation for their fresh and frozen food.

The appliance benefits from Hotpoint’s Food Care System; a combination of innovative technologies that ensure ideal food preservation. For example, Active Oxygen technology removes odours from the fridge and helps to keep bacteria at bay*; MultiCool Flow ensures a constant and uniform airflow in all sections of the refrigerator, while the Ultra Fresh Zone+ preserves the freshness of fruit and vegetables for up to 15 days**. What’s more, the Hotpoint built-in fridge freezer (HTC18 T532 UK) boasts Total No Frost technology, meaning the user never has to defrost their fridge freezer again. It also benefits from Fast Freeze, which enables the user to freeze fresh food in a shorter amount of time.

Never defrost the freezer again thanks to Total No Frost technology, which stops the build-up of ice. It works by keeping the perfect humidity level in the freezer and circulating fresh air around the compartment. Cold air from the freezer is also circulated into the fridge cavity, meaning that food in the fridge will be kept fresher for longer too

Fast Freeze lowers the freezer temperature and enables you to freeze fresh food, as well as make ice and ice cream in a shorter amount of time

Two freezer drawers and an Easy Find Tray to easily locate your frozen goods

Party mode function to quickly chill drinks inside the freezer****

Acoustic alarm to indicate temperature rise

Notes:

* Active Oxygen technology releases tri-oxygen molecules (O3) into the fridge, neutralising unpleasant odours by up to 70 per cent and preventing bacteria growth by up to 90 per cent by oxidising them away (percentages compared to a Hotpoint fridge freezer without Active Oxygen technology)

** Based on weight loss and visual quality, considering common fruits and vegetables. Internal test procedure.

*** Based on shopping bags that hold 18 litres

**** Do not leave drinks inside the freezer compartment longer than the function is active (30 minutes). An acoustic signal will advise the end of the function
