Hoover HOCT3L517EBK 252-litre 50/50 fridge freezer with Low Frost, Silent Inverter, and hOn smart app - Black
Compact 55 cm design with a practical 252-litre capacity:
At just 55 cm wide and 176 cm tall, this Hoover fridge freezer fits into kitchens where space is limited without sacrificing usable storage. The 151-litre fridge and 101-litre freezer split gives you a balanced 50/50 arrangement, with 2+1 adjustable shelves, a crisper drawer, and an egg rack in the fridge compartment.
Low Frost and Silent Inverter for everyday convenience:
Low Frost technology slows ice build-up in the freezer, reducing how often you need to defrost manually. The Silent Inverter compressor runs at 39 dBA - quiet enough for open-plan kitchens - and is built for long-term efficiency, contributing to an annual energy consumption of 218 kWh at an E energy rating.
Super Cool function and degree-by-degree temperature control:
The Super Cool function rapidly lowers the fridge temperature when you load in fresh shopping, helping to maintain safe storage conditions for the items already inside. You can set the fridge temperature precisely between 2°C and 8°C using the internal LED display, with a single thermostat covering both compartments. An open door alarm alerts you if the door is left ajar.
Smart Contents and hOn app connectivity:
Smart Contents connects the fridge freezer to the Hoover hOn app, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings remotely. This is a useful addition for households who want to keep an eye on temperature settings or energy use without opening the appliance. The fridge freezer is also CFC free and HFC free, meeting current environmental standards.

Setup and Care
Getting started:
Allow the fridge freezer to stand upright for at least 4 hours after delivery before switching it on, so the refrigerant settles correctly. The door hinge is set to the right by default but can be reversed to suit your kitchen layout - refer to the user manual for hinge reversal instructions.
Temperature settings:
Use the internal LED display to set the fridge between 2°C and 8°C. The Super Cool function is useful after a large grocery shop - activate it to bring the temperature down quickly, and it will return to your normal setting automatically.
Managing frost and defrosting:
Low Frost technology reduces ice build-up but does not eliminate it entirely - occasional manual defrosting of the freezer will still be needed. The fridge section defrosts automatically. Always unplug the unit before defrosting and remove all food to an insulated bag or cool box while the process is underway.
Cleaning and maintenance:
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and a mild solution of bicarbonate of soda in warm water - avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents on any surface. Clean the door seals regularly to maintain the anti-bacterial seal integrity and ensure a proper close. The open door alarm will sound if the door is not fully closed, which helps avoid unnecessary energy use.
