Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint HM311i Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Before connecting the Hotpoint HM311i Refrigerator to the mains electricity supply, leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours. This allows the cooling system to settle. During this time, clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior.
Choose a location where the refrigerator can be easily accessed. Ensure that the power socket is in a readily accessible position adjacent to the unit.
At the base of the kitchen unit intended for the appliance, ensure there is at least 200cm² of free space for adequate air circulation. Do not cover the air outlet grille at the top of the appliance.
Before mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit, disconnect the power supply and set the thermostat knob to the OFF position. Push the appliance approximately 38mm into the kitchen unit, leaving at least 4mm of free space on both sides between the appliance and the side walls of the kitchen unit.
Open both appliance doors wide and align them with the kitchen unit doors. Fix the slide guides (provided) to the edge of the doors using the screws. Insert the slides into the guides and secure them on the kitchen unit door approximately 15mm from the edge.
Before using the appliance, ensure it is level, thoroughly dry inside, and has adequate air circulation. Verify that all accessories are correctly placed in their positions.
After ensuring that all installation steps are completed and checked, connect the appliance to the power supply and switch it on. Adjust the thermostat knob to the desired setting.
