Dear Homemaker:
Your new Hotpoint Combination Refrigerator-Freezer brings
wonderful new experiences to your meal planning and
preparation. Here are a few of the pleasures of advanced refrigeration
and food freezing that now will be yours. Frozen foods can
be held in the Food Freezing Compartment at safe temperatures
for longer periods of time. Leftovers can be frozen and used
days later. Many foods can be left uncovered in the General Food
Storage Compartment without drying out. Butter can be kept at
the right consistency for spreading or creaming. Small, frequently
used articles can be kept at your finger-tips in the shelves in the door.
The Hotpoint Combination Refrigerator-Freezer is a product
of the thorough engineering and superior workmanship that have
established Hotpoints outstanding position in the electric
appliance field. It should not be confused with the flat-plate evaporator
type of refrigerator. It is a true combination refrigerator-freezer
with separate controls and doors for each compartment.
The material in this booklet has been prepared by the Hotpoint
Institute, the home economics division of Hotpoint Inc.
Every suggestion, recommendation and recipe is the result of thorough
testing in the Hotpoint Kitchens. By studying the material
carefully and following the instructions, we are sure you will get
full satisfaction and enjoyment in the use of your
Hotpoint Combination Refrigerator-Freezer.
Cordially yowJ,

In order for you to understand your new Hotpoint
Combination Refrigerator-Freezer and get the-best
possible service from it, here are a few basic facts
for you to know.
When you refrigerate your foods you are re-
moving heat from them-not adding cold. Heat always
passes from a warm object to a cold one. When we
remove heat, we lower the temperature-which is
refrigerating. In modern mechanical refrigeration the
heat is absorbed by a liquid refrigerant.
In your Hotpoint Combination Refrigerator-
Freezer a harmless, non-toxic, non-inflammable liquid
is used as the refrigerant. This liquid changes from its
liquid state to a vapor-or boils-at a very low tem-
perature. The heat contained in your refrigerator and
the stored food is sufficient to cause the refrigerant
to boil and evaporate with considerable intensity.
Heat is absorbed and your refrigerator and food are
cooled. The vapor is collected,-changed
liquid, and is used over and over again.

Your Hotpoint Combination Refrigerator-Freezer is
exactly what its name impliesa twe freezer and
refrigerator combined in one piece of equipment. It
has two compartments, each entirely insulated from
the other, each having its own door and separate
temperature control. The Food Freezing Compart-
.
ment is designed for

tween 35 to 45 F. and maintains a sufficiently high
humidity to prevent excess drying out of moist food
when left uncovered.
Each of the two compartments has its own refrig-
erating system a primary system cooling the Food
Freezing Compartment, and a secondary system for
cooling the Generai Food Storage Compartment. There
is one refrigerating unita motor-compressor assembly
and a condenser. The refrigerant in the primary system
( Freezer Compartment) passes through tubing from
the refrigerating unit around the walls of the alumi-
num liner of the Food Freezing Compartment. In
the freezer coils the refrigerant changes from a liquid
to a vapor, absorbing heat and lowering the tempera-
ture of the Freezer Compartment.
The secondary refrigerating system for cooling
the General Food Storage Compartment consists of
one complete circuit of tubing fastened to the liner
walis of the cabinet. The tubing comes in contact with
the primary system and the refrigerant is cooled and
condensed. It passes down through the tubing of the
General Food Storage Compartment, is gradually
warmed as it absorbs heat from the liner walls and
changes again into a vapor.
Thus, the lower compartment is ultimately re-
frigerated by the primary system, but the ttoo cA-c?AJ
are entirely separate and each has its own control.
This makes it possible m set the controls to give you
the desired temperature in both the Food Freezer
Compartment and General Food Storage Compart-
ment of the refrigerator.

In the General Food Storage Compartment a higher
humidity ( moisture content of the air) is maintained
,s
than in conventional refrigerators. When the tem-
perature control is set properly for local conditions,
moisture from the air in the cabinet does not freeze
but condenses on the refrigerated walls. Therefore, a

PLASTIC DRAWER In models EF8 and EF1O, a


removable plastic drawer is provided, located at the
upper right of the General Food Storage Compart-
ment. Use it for storing cartons of butter or cheese,
packages of bacon, etc.
SLIDING SHELVES The adjustable sliding shelf
helps provide flexibility to the storage space. The
sturdy aluminum shelf slides back and forth smoothly,
making it possible to reach the dishes at the back
easily. Safety catches permit removal of the shelf
but prevent accidentally pulling the loaded shelf out
too far. You will want to keep frequently used items
on this convenient shelf. ( EG 106 and EF 10 have two
sliding shelves. )
HI-HUMIDITY STORAGE Within these Hi-Hu-
midity Storage Compartments, ideal conditions of
humidity and temperature are maintained. This com-
bination preserves the natural moisture and flavor of
fresh fruits and vegetables. Model EG87 has one large
pan for vegetables and a smaller one for fruits. Models
EG106 and EF1O have two large pans, Model EF8
has one full width pan for the storage of fresh
vegetables and fruits.
SHELVES IN THE DOOR Extra storage space is
provided by three new shelves in the door (Models
EG87 and EG106 ). Here, easily accessible, is ade-
quate space for keeping small jars, cans, bottles and
food cartons at fingertip reach easy to find!
BUTTER BIN A Butter Bin is conveniently located
on the inside of the door on Models EG87 and
EG 106. It is designed to keep butter, margarine,
cheese or spreads at the proper consistency for excellent
serving. The temperature can be regulated by the con-
trol under the Butter Bin. The normal setting is 4,
but can be lowered or raised according to your prefer-
ence. The cover of the Butter
moved for cleaning.

DRIP TRAY Excess moisture that collects on the
walls of the General Food Storage Compartment
trickles siIently down into a specially designed drip
tray, located to the Ieft behind the lower front panel
of your refrigerator. The srnd amount of water that
collects will be evaporated readily by the heat of the
refrigerator mechanism.

and place them in dishes before storing them. If the
cartons or containers are waxed this will not be
:6
necessary.
Since there is a uniform low temperature and
high humidity in the General Food Storage Compart-
ment, foods can generally be stored wherever it is
most convenient for you. Systematic storage-a place
for each thing and each article in the most ideal
placehelps keep your refrigerator cabinet neat, pro-
viding even more usable space. The following sug-
gestions may be helpful.
G
BOTTLES Always have food in the cleanest condition
when you place it in your refrigerator. Rinse in cold
water or wipe milk, cream, and beverage bottles with
a clean damp cloth. Arrange them neatly in the Tall
Bottle Zone or on the shelves in the door.

EGGS
..+. ,-. - - - - - , -... -. .,-- -
Eggs may either be left in the carton if it is clean
or otherwise placed in a bowl, or wire basket, or
special egg container. Store them on any convenient
shelf in the general Food Storage Compartment.
They also may be placed in the Leftover Rack if the
jars are removed ( Models EG87 and EG106 ) or in
the Plastic Drawer ( Models EF8 and EF 10 ). Do
not wash eggs before placing them in the refrigerator.
COOKED FOODS AND LEFTOVERS should be placed in special Leftover
Jars, or other suitable containers, and kept on any
convenient shelf in the General Food Storage Com-
partment of the refrigerator.
BUTTER AND CHEESE Keep butter and cheese in covered containers or in
protective wrappings in the General Food Storage
Compartment. Wrap cheese in waxed paper or alumi-
num foil. Butter for immediate use should be put
in the Butter Bin so it will be the right consistency
for easy spreading or creaming.
POULTRY
FISH
VEGETABLES
ICE CREAM
Wipe meat with a clean damp cloth. If it is to be
used within a few days, it can be placed on a plate
and be stored in the General Food Storage Compart-
ment. If desired, it may be loosely wrapped in waxed
paper before placing in the compartment. If meats
are to be held for a longer period, wrap them in
moisture-vapor-proof paper and store them in the Food
Freezer Compartment.
Clean poultry for cooking, drain well, and place in
container and store on shelf most convenient. If you
wish to keep poultry more than two or three days,
wrap in moisture-vapor-proof paper and freeze.
If fish is to be used within one day, wrap it in waxed
paper to prevent odor transfer. If it is to be kept
for a longer period, wrap it in moisture-vapor-proof
paper and store in the Food Freezer.
Green leafy vegetables are kept crisp and citrus fruits
moist and tangy when stored in the Hi-Humidity
Pans. In order to save storage space, remove the parts
of vegetables that wont be used. Wash vegetables
well and drain before placing them in the pans.
Citrus fruits and fruits such as apples, peaches, and
pears should be washed and drained before storing
them in the Hi-Humidity Pans. Berries are not washed
ahead of time. Spread them out on a plate and store
in the general storage area. Small fruits such as
lemons and limes may be stored for short periods on
the shelves in the door. (Models EG87 and EG106 )
Store ice cream in the Food Freezer. If it is purchased
in a compact moisture-vapor-proof package, place it
directly in the freezing compartment. Otherwise, re-
pack it in a suitable container and place in freezer.
If you desire to use it within a few hours, store it
in one of the ice trays in the compartment.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR To clean and preserve the exterior finish of
your refrigerator, we recommend using Hotpoint
Polish (available from your Hotpoint dealer) every
few months. This polish cleans the surface and gives
it an attractive sheen. To remove finger prints or
light surface soil, mild soap and warm water may
be used whenever necessary. Follow with a clear water
rinse, then dry the surface.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR To keep the General Food Storage Compart-
ment clean and sweet, clean it regularly, preferably
once a week. Remove the food, shelves, and Hi-
Humidity Pans from the compartment. Use a mild
baking soda solution (one tablespoon dissolved in
one quart of warm water) to wash the inner walls
and Hi-Humidity Pans. Rinse with clear warm water
and dry. In order to preserve the beautiful finish on
the aluminum shelves, we recommend cleaning them
with a liquid wax. You will find it to be a safe, ef?i-
cient cleaner, easy to use.
CLEANING THE DOOR GASKET Wash the gasket or rubber sealing strip
around the outside of the door with mild soap and
water. Rinse with clear warm water and wipe dry.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER Once a year clean the finned surface of the
condenser with a vacuum cleaner attachment or a stiff
brush. The condenser is mounted just inside the lower
front panel and may be reached by swinging this
panel out from the left.
REFRIGERATING MECHANISM The Hotpoint Thriftmaster sealed unit,
consisting of the motor and compressor, has been
permanently lubricated at the factory. You will never
have COoil it. If, however, it may need attention or
service, call your Hotpoint dealer. Giving him the
model number will speed up the service. This number
is on the label in the upper front lefthand corner
of the General Food Storage Compartment.
IF ELECTRIC CURRENT FAILS Should your electric service be discontinued
for short periods, keep the food freezing compartment
door closed, If the shut-off Iasts for more than 24
hours, pack the compartment with dry ice obtained
from a locker plant, ice cream factory, or cold storage
plant.
LOCATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR Your refrigerator should never be
installed in a location where the temperature may
get below freezing, such as on your back porch. While
the mechanism of the refrigerator is not affected by
the low temperature, the food may be harmed. When
the temperature outside the refrigerator is below
32 F., the temperature inside will soon be that low
also and your food eventually will freeze.

This special compartment in which the temperature
is maintained at 4 F. or lower, sets your new re-
frigerator apart as completely modern. Combined
with the dependable refrigerator, you have the advan-
tages of a separate food freezerall in one cabinet.
The separate door for the Food Freezer mini-
mizes the frost built up in the compartment, as well
as lowering the cost of operation.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR
FOOD FREEZER
The Food Freezing Control is located at the left be-
hind the lower front panel. When the control is set
I
at 5 (center ) approximately a 4 F. temperature
is maintained in the Food Freezing Compartment.
This is the normal setting for storing frozen foods
and for freezing ice cubes or small quantities of
food. Up to eight pounds of any food may be frozen
at one time in the eight cubic foot refrigerator and
up to 10 pounds in the ten cubic foot refrigerator.
When freezing up to this maximum quantity of food,
set the control to position 9 (the coldest setting)
until food is frozen. Then reset the dial to the normal
pdsition. If you have a greater quantity of food than
this to be frozen, hold some of it in the General
Food Storage Compartment until the rest is solidly
frozen. Then transfer the packages to the Food Freez-
ing Compartment for freezing.
%
Changes in the temperature of the Food Freezer
Compartment have no effect on that of the General
Food Storage Compartment. .
FROZEN FOODS With the Food Freezer you can
keep a generous supply of frozen food available for
your family meals. CommerciafIy frozen foods should
not be allowed to begin thawing but should be placed
in the Food Freezing Compartment when still solidly
frozen in order to retain their original freshness and
flavor.

MAKING FROZEN
ing Compartment is a convenient refrigerated shelf
for ice trays. Because the temperature in this storage
zone is lower than in a conventional refrigerator, ice
cubes can be frozen very quickly. The trays should
be filled to within )48 inch from the top. When the
ice trays are not in use, the shelf can be used for
freezing and storing additional quantities of frozen
foods.
When fresh food is at its prime, you will want to
store some away for future use. You also will be able
to make up some special delicacies for meals ahead
and freeze them in the Food Freezing Compartment
for safe keeping. It is easy to freeze foodbut it is
important to follow the few simple instructions on
the next few pages if you are to have the best results.
ICE CUBE
The aluminum ice cube

TRAYS
trays furnished may be of
If your trays are provided with a separate re-
lease lever, remove the ice cubes by placing the ice
tray on a flat surface. Hook the release lever under
the cube divider and press down, freeing as many
cubes as you wish.
When the release lever is attached to the cube
divider, simply ptdl the lever forward to release the
ice cubes quickly and easily.
If you are going to need an unusually large
supply of ice cubes, you can freeze a supply ahead
of time and store them in a container in the Food
Freezer. The ice cubes wont stick together if you
remove them from the trays quickly without using
water and put them in the container before they
begin to melt.
SALADS AND DESSERTS The ice trays can also be
used for freezing many different types of salads and des-
serts. The desserts will have a smooth texture because
they freeze rapidly at the low temperature in the Food
Freezing Compartment. See pages 28 and 34for special
recipes and directions.

ITS EASY TO GET GOOD RESULTS WITH YOUR
(pyahdiiwL d
HOTPOINT COMBINATION REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER,
BUT IT PAYS TO FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES.
o
e
o
0
e
FREEZE THE BEST
Freeze only foods of high quality. Freezing protects
the original appearance, quality, and flavor of good
foods but does not add quality to low grade foods.
CHOOSE BEST VARIETY
Some varieties of fruits and vegetables are more suc-
cessfully frozen than others. Lists of varieties pro-
duced in your locality that are best suited for freezing
are available from your State College or University
Experiment Station. You will want this information
particularly if you raise products for freezing.
PREPARE FOODS IMMEDIATELY
CHOOSE CORRECT
FOLLOW RELIABLE
Vegetables and fruits you wish to freeze should be firm
and fully ripe. Prepare and freeze them as soon as
possible after they are gathered. They begin to low
freshness and quality from the moment they are
harvested.
PACKAGING MATERIALS
Frozen foods will dry out if not properly wrapped
or packaged. Always use moisture-vapor-proof wrap-
ping materials and containers that have been designed
specially for use in preparing foods for freezing.
Plain paper wrappings are not suitable.
INSTRUCTIONS
Scald most vegetables and some fruits before freezing
to preserve the original color, flavor, and quality.
After scalding, cool foods thoroughly before packag-
ing. Use generous amounts of ice water or cold run-
ning water. Allow about the same length of time for
cooling foods as for scalding before placing in pack-
ages or cartons.
USE MEAL-SIZE PACKAGES
Wrap all meat in meal-size packages. If two or more
cuts are wrapped together, such as chops, ground meat
patties, etc., place two layers of wrapping material
between the cuts to make them easier to separate later.

FILL CONTAINER PROPERLY
When pIacing liquid or semi-liquid food in containers
leave about ~z-inch at the top of the containers to
allow for expansion during freezing.
FREEZE CORRECT QUANTITIES
If you have a large quantity of food to freeze at one
time store part of it in the General Food Storage Com-
partment of your combination refrigerator-freezer un-
til the first quantity is frozen.
FREEZEQUICKLY
TEMPERATURE
For freezing, place packages flat against the wails or
floor of the Food Freezing Compartment. After pack-
ages are frozen solid they may be moved and stacked.
SETTING
In normal position, the control dial is set to main-
tain temperatures in the Food Freezing Compart-
ment at 4 F. or colder. Average quantities can be
frozen without adjusting the control. When freezing
larger quantities, turn the control to the coldest
position until foods are frozen, then turn back to
normal position, or 5.
DO NOT REFREEZE
Once foods have been thawed, do not attempt to
refreeze them, but use as soon as possible.
STORE IMMEDIATELY
Commercially frozen food can be stored any place in
the Food Freezing Compartment of your refrigerator.
These foods should not be allowed to thaw before being
placed in the freezer.

Most frozen fruits are thawed before they are used.
Fruits served fresh and uncooked are delicious thawed
just to a point where they are still a little icy. During
thawing, fruit should be left unopened in the original
container. Fruits in moisture-tight packages can be
turned bottom-side-up during thawing and have a
more uniform color and flavor. When frozen fruit is
to be cooked, it is not necessary to thaw it first. Fruits
for pies and cobblers should be thawed just enough
to spread easily.
A package of fruit will thaw in 5 to 6 hours on
the shelves of a refrigerator or in 3 to 4 hours at
room temperature. The thawing time can be shortened
by placing the package in a pan of cool water (if
the package is moisture-tight) or by placing it in
front of an electric fan.

BROILED STEAKS AND CHOPS
Tender cuts of lamb and beef, at Ieast one-inch thick, are excel-
lent when broiled. The procedure is much the same whether
these cuts are broiled while frozen or are first thawed, except
frozen meat should be placed farther from the heat or cooked
under lower heat than meat that is thawed. If steaks are broiled
while still solidly frozen, the time is about doubled. To broil:
Place meat on the broiler rack and place below the broiling
heat. The distance depends on thickness of the meatplace
thick cuts farther away than thin ones. Broil one side until it
is brown, then turn the meat and brown the second side. Leave
oven door ajar during broiling.
PAN BROILED STEAKS OR CHOPS
Meats that can be broiled are also satisfactorily pan broiled.
To pan broil: Heat a heavy fry pan and rub a bit of fat over
the bottom. Place the meat, either thawed or frozen, in hot pan
without adding fat or water. Brown meat quickly on both sides,
then reduce the heat and continue cooking until desired doneness
is reached.
BRAISED MEAT
Less tender cuts of meat can be made more tender by braising
or cooking with moisture. If meat is to be browned before
cooking, it is desirable to thaw first-otherwise it browns very
slowly Also, it is easier to thaw meats, at least partial]), that
are to be coated with crumbs or flour, for the dry mixture will
not adhere to frozen meat. If solidly frozen meat is to be
braised, cook it until tender, then brown just before serving.
To brai~c: Brown first (if at least partially thawed), add a small
amount of liquid, cover and cook over low heat or in an oven
of moderate temperature.

RECIPESo*o
FANCY ICE CUBES
Decorative ice cubes add a party touch to cool re-
freshing drinks. Thin slices of lemon, mint leaves,
maraschino cherries and sections of strawberries or
pineapple are appropriate. Fill an ice tray Y3 full of
water and freeze. Add decoration and freeze in place.
Then fill the tray and finish freezing. For punch
bowls, try a block of decorated ice made without
the tray dividers.
Bwq\
&
FLAVORED ICE CUBES
Flavored ice cubes add flavor to a beverage as they
melt. Cubes made of tea, coffee, gingerale, fruit juices,
lemonade, or a cola beverage are novel and very good.
Flavored cubes can also be decorated. Freeze fancy or
flavored ice cubes with the Cold Control at the normal
setting. They will be clear and more attractive than
if frozen quickly.
CHOCOLATE MILK
Mix 2 tablespoons of Chocolate Beverage Syr@ with
each cup of cold milk.
CHOCOLATE BEVERAGE SYRUP
Place chocolate and water in saucepan. Cook slowly
until thick and well blended, stirring constantly. Add
sugar and salt and bring to a gentle boil for 2 minutes,
continuing to stir. Remove from heat. Cool slightly
and add vanilla. Store in covered jar in the refrig-
erator. (Make~ 2 cup.)
FROSTED CHOCOLATE MILK
Mix 2 tablespoons of Cbocoiate Beverage Syrup and
1 scoop of ice cream with each cup of milk. A drop
of mint extract can be added for flavor variation.

WHEN YOU FREEZE ICE CREAM
G
G
:
I
G
G
Use a recipe prepared for an electric refrigerator
and measure the ingredients accurately. For ex-
ample, too much sugar lowers the freezing point, so
the dessert will not freeze firm.
Fast freezing improves the texture of ice creams. At
the low temperatures maintained in the Food Freez-
ing Compartment, delicious desserts can be frozen
without an adjustment of the Cold Control. For
fastest freezing, use a chilled tray and place it on the
shelf of the Food Freezing Compartment. Moisten
the bottom of the tray before putting it in place. The
tray will then freeze to the shelf, and the ice cream
mixture will freeze more rapidly and more smoothly.
For best results, do not try to freeze ice cubes at the
same time.
Most ice creams are improved if they are beaten or
stirred during the freezing process. Freeze the mix-
ture until it is firm (45 min.-l 1/z hours) then turn
it into a very cold bowl and beat with a chiiled
beater until the mixture has a fluffy and creamy
appearance. The ice cream should be firmly frozen
before beating if you use an electric mixer, and
slightly less firm if you use a hand beater. After
beating, quickly turn the ice cream into a chilled
tray and freeze again without disturbing.
When two mixtures are to be combined, have them
as near the same temperature as possible. For ex-
ample, chill a custard base before folding whipped
cream into the mixture. When all the ingredients
are chilled, there is less chance of the mixture sep-
arating into layers.
