Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint HTS18BCM Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Ensure that all packing materials, including protective tape and films, are taken off. Inspect for any damage that might have occurred during transportation.
Position the refrigerator in a location with adequate air circulation and away from heat sources or direct sunlight. Ensure that there is at least 1 inch of space on each side and at the back to allow for proper airflow.
Adjust the leveling legs located at the bottom front of the refrigerator to ensure it stands firmly. Proper leveling helps with the efficient operation and door alignment.
Plug the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Ensure that the electrical supply is consistent with the appliance's requirements as specified on the rating plate.
Allow the refrigerator to cool for at least 24 hours before storing any food items. This ensures that the appliance reaches a stable temperature ideal for food preservation.
Set the temperature controls to the recommended initial settings. You can adjust as needed once the refrigerator has stabilized and you have assessed your cooling needs.
If your model includes an ice maker, connect it to the water supply following the instructions provided. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
