Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint HTN17BBTCC Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging, ensuring that all protective materials, such as tape and foam, are removed from both the exterior and interior of the appliance.
Choose a location that is level and provides adequate space for the refrigerator, considering the dimensions and required clearances: 3/4 inch on each side, 1 inch at the top, and 1 inch at the back for proper air circulation.
Place the refrigerator in the selected location, ensuring it is level. Use a spirit level to check the leveling and adjust the front leveling legs if necessary.
Plug the refrigerator into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet matches the plug specifications and the electrical requirements of the refrigerator.
Adjust the upfront temperature controls to the recommended initial settings. This will allow the refrigerator to start cooling efficiently. Monitor the temperature and adjust as needed after the refrigerator has cooled.
Arrange the adjustable wire shelves and crisper drawers according to your storage needs. Ensure that the shelves are securely placed in the desired positions.
Before storing any food, allow the refrigerator to reach the desired cooling temperature, which may take several hours. This ensures that the appliance is functioning properly and efficiently.
