Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint FFAA52x Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, make the necessary adjustments by tightening or loosening the single foot at the front of the appliance to ensure the appliance sits level.
After transporting the appliance, wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Ensure the appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the POWER indicator light illuminates.
Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate to remove any odors and ensure hygienic conditions.
Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average value initially. After a few hours, you can start placing food inside the refrigerator. The temperature inside adjusts automatically according to the thermostat knob position, with 1 being warmest and 5 being coldest.
Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat such as direct sunlight or electric stoves to maintain optimal operating conditions.
Open and close the doors to check that the gasket makes a good seal without any gaps when the doors are closed, ensuring energy efficiency and proper cooling.
Use the manual 'Fast Freeze and Low Ambient' switch when loading fresh food to freeze. It activates intensive cooling, and should be turned off after 24 hours to save energy.
Fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the wall behind it, following the instructions provided.
