Hotpoint HPKH 1262B4UK (57) 54cm 50/50 Integrated Built-in Fridge Freezer in White - E Rated - (Ex Display) - HW182757

No Frost freezer – no manual defrosting

The biggest advantage of the HPKH1262B4UK over the HPKS version is No Frost technology. Hotpoint uses continuous airflow within the freezer to limit frost and ice accumulation, eliminating the routine chore of manually defrosting the freezer. The manufacturer's technical data specifically confirms automatic defrosting in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

This makes the HPKH model particularly attractive for UK customers looking for a frost-free integrated 50/50 fridge freezer rather than a Low Frost appliance.

254-litre 50/50 storage capacity

The appliance provides 254 litres of usable storage, split between a 163-litre refrigerator and 91-litre 4-star freezer.

Although marketed as a 50/50 model because of its cabinet and door configuration, the actual usable volume is not divided equally. The refrigerator has substantially more usable capacity than the freezer.

The freezer is positioned below the fridge and incorporates four freezer drawers, helping keep frozen meat, vegetables, prepared meals and other foods organised.

FreshZone drawer

Hotpoint equips the refrigerator with a dedicated FreshZone drawer, designed to provide a suitable environment for fresh fruit, vegetables and salad ingredients.

Hotpoint specifically promotes FreshZone for helping keep salads crisp and vegetables fresh for longer, while separating delicate fresh produce from the rest of the refrigerator compartment.

Four-star freezer

The 91-litre freezer carries a 4-star rating, making it suitable for freezing fresh food and long-term storage of commercially frozen foods.

Official manufacturer/regulatory specifications give a freezing capacity of 4.2kg per 24 hours. In the event of a power cut, Hotpoint specifies a 13-hour storage period, providing a useful degree of protection for frozen food during a temporary interruption to the electricity supply.

Glass shelving and four freezer drawers

Hotpoint's technical data lists four glass shelves in the refrigerator, while the current Hotpoint UK consumer page lists three shelves. The manufacturer's detailed technical sheet is the stronger source for the physical specification and states four glass shelves with profiles.

Below, the freezer provides four separate drawers, giving the HPKH1262B4UK particularly useful organisation for a 50/50 integrated appliance.

LED interior lighting

Energy-efficient LED lighting illuminates the refrigerator interior, making stored food easier to locate without generating the levels of heat associated with traditional refrigerator bulbs.

Door-open alarm

Another useful feature over more basic integrated refrigeration is the fridge door-open alarm. If the refrigerator door is accidentally left open, the appliance alerts the user, helping reduce unnecessary temperature rises, food spoilage and wasted energy.

Electronic temperature control

The manufacturer's detailed technical sheet specifies electronic control and an adjustable refrigerator temperature. There are two temperature zones, although Hotpoint does not provide independent user adjustment of the freezer temperature.

Fast Cooling and Fast Freeze are not provided on this model, something worth noting when comparing it with higher-specification Hotpoint integrated fridge freezers.

Sliding-hinge integrated installation

The HPKH1262B4UK is designed to disappear behind matching kitchen furniture doors. Retail technical information identifies a sliding-hinge / block-and-slider installation system, and the appliance doors are reversible for greater flexibility when planning a fitted kitchen.

At approximately 177.5cm high and 54cm wide, it fits the common tall integrated fridge-freezer format used in UK kitchens.

E energy rating and 37dB operation

The HPKH1262B4UK has an E energy efficiency rating on the current A–G refrigeration scale. Official annual electricity consumption is 239kWh per year, with an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of 100.

Noise output is a relatively quiet 37dB(A), earning noise emission class C. This makes it well suited to open-plan kitchen/dining areas where refrigeration noise may be more noticeable.

Its official climate classification is extended temperate/subtropical, corresponding to an approved ambient operating range of 10°C to 38°C. It therefore shouldn't be presented as suitable for an unheated garage or outbuilding that may fall below its minimum operating temperature.

The Hotpoint HPKH 1262B4 UK is a tall integrated 50/50 fridge freezer designed for fitted UK kitchens. It combines a 254-litre total usable capacity, No Frost freezer technology, a FreshZone drawer, LED interior lighting and a door-open alarm with quiet 37dB operation and an E energy rating.
Storage is divided into a 163-litre fridge and 91-litre freezer.
