Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint CTX18GICWW Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Ensure that all packing materials, including foam and tape, are completely removed from both the interior and exterior of the unit.
Select a location that is away from direct sunlight and heat sources to ensure efficient operation. Make sure the floor is level and strong enough to support the refrigerator's weight.
Ensure there is at least 3/4 inch clearance on each side, 1 inch at the top, and 1 inch at the back for proper air circulation and to allow the door to open easily.
Use a level tool to ensure the refrigerator is perfectly horizontal. Adjust the leveling legs located at the front of the refrigerator to achieve the desired level.
If your refrigerator model includes an icemaker, connect it to the water supply following the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the water line is correctly attached and secure.
Connect the power cord to a dedicated electrical outlet, ensuring the voltage and frequency match the requirements specified in the product's manual.
Locate the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator and set it to the manufacturer's recommended initial setting to allow the unit to cool properly before storing food.
Let the refrigerator run empty for a few hours to reach the optimal temperature necessary for food storage before loading it with groceries.
