Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint FF40P Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat, such as direct sunlight or an electric stove.
After transporting the appliance, place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, ensure the appliance is earthed and the plug complies with the law.
Use the kit provided to connect the appliance to the water supply. For optimal performance of the Aqua Care, fit a tap with a filter on the pipe for the connection to the water system, allowing for manual interruption of the water supply during long periods of non-use.
Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob to its middle setting. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green POWER indicator light illuminates. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average value. After a few hours, you can begin storing food in the refrigerator.
To maintain proper ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture or walls.
Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room, protected from direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently to conserve energy.
Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
