Follow these easy steps to get your Hotpoint RL175A Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor. Ensure the floor is perfectly horizontal; if not, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.
Position the fridge in its chosen location, ensuring it is away from any sources of heat like direct sunlight or electric stoves. Mark the position of the left-hand panel from the front of the fridge.
To prevent the fridge from tilting forwards, install the stability bracket securely. Fix it to the floor or wall at the rear of the fridge, ensuring it hooks onto the compressor mounting plate.
After transporting the appliance, place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Ensure the appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
Before connecting, clean the compartments and accessories with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap.
Use the provided kit to connect the appliance to the water supply. Ensure the water pressure is between 0.8 bar and 8 bar, and fit a tap with a filter on the pipe to manually interrupt the water supply if necessary.
Insert the plug into the socket and ensure the internal light illuminates. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average value and wait a few hours before placing food inside.
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment adjusts automatically based on the thermostat knob position. Set it to a medium position for optimal performance.
Fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the back wall.
