SAFETY
Levelling:
Level the fridge 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 fridge run reliably and efficiently.
Before plugging in and switching on, leave the fridge standing in its final location for at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.
Fitting a Fridge under a Work Top
To minimise running costs Hotpoint recommend fitting a vent to the rear of your worktop, which is available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts & Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).
WARNING: If there is less than 30mm clearance above the fridge, a vent must be fitted to provide adequate ventilation above your fridge.
Bottle Retainer:
To fit the bottle rack retainer:
Locate the retainer groove at one end of the bottle rack and then gradually press down along the top edge until the retainer is fully in the home position.
