Levelling:
Level the freezer when it is in its final location by adjusting the front feet, until firm contact is made with the floor. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the door aligned which helps the freezer run reliably and efficiently.
Note: Before plugging in and switching on, leave the freezer standing in its final location for at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.
Hinge Covers:
After the front feet have been adjusted and the freezer is level, fit the left and right hand bottom hinge covers supplied.
To fit:
Align the bottom hinge cover onto the cover plate slots.
Push until the bottom hinge cover clicks into place.
Joining:
Equal height Hotpoint ‘FUTURE’ fridges and freezers can be joined together to look like one unit by using a Filler Kit available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts & Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).
Defrost Tube:
A tube is supplied to help feed defrost water into a collecting vessel, ie. a bowl (see ‘Defrosting’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).
For safe keeping until required, the tube can be stored in the floor of the freezer compartment.
