Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint CTF17 Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Place the refrigerator in an area where it is not exposed to direct sunlight or near a heat source, such as a stove or a heating vent. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
Connect the refrigerator to a properly grounded outlet with the correct voltage and frequency as specified in the manual. Avoid using extension cords.
Adjust the leveling legs to ensure that the refrigerator is stable and the doors close easily. This is done by turning the legs clockwise or counterclockwise as needed.
Set the Fresh Food Control to 5 and the Freezer Control to C. Allow the refrigerator to reach these temperatures by keeping the doors closed for 24 hours.
Adjust the shelves to suit your storage needs. The shelves can be tilted up at the front and lifted out from the tracks for repositioning.
If your model includes an ice maker, ensure that the manual switch is set to 'ON' and the water line is connected properly. If the ice maker was not pre-installed, contact your local Hotpoint dealer for installation options.
Clean the interior of the refrigerator with a mild detergent and warm water before placing any food inside. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
