Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint HTS18CCS Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Place the refrigerator in the desired location. Ensure that there's at least 3/4 inch clearance on each side, 1 inch at the top, and 1 inch at the back for proper air circulation.
Adjust the leveling legs located at the bottom corners of the refrigerator. Use a wrench to turn the legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it, ensuring it is level from side to side and front to back.
Connect the water supply to the factory-installed icemaker. Ensure the water line is securely fastened and free of leaks.
Plug the refrigerator into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical specifications of the outlet match the requirements of the refrigerator.
Locate the temperature controls at the front of the refrigerator. Set the controls to the recommended initial settings: usually a mid-range position, which is often indicated in the manual.
Let the refrigerator run for at least 24 hours to reach its optimal temperature before storing food inside.
