Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint RFA70 Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Select a spot for your fridge freezer away from heat sources like cookers, radiators, and direct sunlight. Ensure there’s at least a 100mm (4 inch) gap above the unit for ventilation.
Level the fridge freezer by adjusting the front feet to prevent rocking or vibration and to keep the door aligned.
Before plugging in, leave the fridge freezer in its final location for at least 15 minutes to allow the system to settle.
After adjusting the front feet and ensuring the fridge freezer is level, fit the left and right-hand bottom hinge covers as supplied.
Plug the fridge freezer into the power outlet and switch it on.
Allow the fridge freezer to cool down before placing any food inside. The high-temperature light will remain on until it cools.
If freezing fresh food, activate the fast freeze function by pressing the switch 24 hours prior to placing the food inside.
For RFA80 & RFA70 models, use the holiday mode to set the fridge compartment to a warmer setting when away, reducing energy consumption while maintaining freezer operation.
Set the temperature control wheel based on your location's climate and frequency of door openings. The normal set point is marked by a 3 on the dial.
Ensure ventilation openings are clear of obstructions and the mains cable is not trapped. The fridge freezer should not be placed in rooms where temperatures drop below 6˚C or exceed 38˚C.
