The Hotpoint HMCB5050AAUK (often seen as HMCB 5050 AA.UK.1 or HMCB50501UK) is an integrated / built-in 50/50 fridge freezer. This means it's designed to be installed behind kitchen cabinet doors, giving a seamless look.
Here are its key specifications:

 * Fridge Net Capacity: 154 Litres

 * Height: 177 cm (1770 mm)
 * Width: 54 cm (540 mm)
 * Depth: 54.5 cm (545 mm)
Energy & Performance:
 * Energy Efficiency Class: F (under the new 2021 EU energy labelling system). This would have been an A+ under the old system.

 * Defrost Process (Freezer): Manual (due to Low Frost, this is less frequent than full manual defrost)
