Installation - Hotpoint FFU00 User Instructions

Installation

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE SHOULD
ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS, CURRENT STANDARDS
AND REGULATIONS.
Before Fitting:
Please read through this section before
starting any work.
Choosing a Location:
Do not install your appliance in a room where
the temperature goes below 5˚C, this will
affect the appliances performance.
The power socket should be in a readily
accessible position, adjacent to the appliance.
DO NOT connect to the electricity supply until
all installation is complete.
Place the appliance in a dry and regularly
ventilated room.
Never place the appliance near heat emitting
devices (eg. cooker, radiator, water heater or
similar devices) and do not expose it to direct
sunlight. In such a position your appliance
will have to work harder and will cost more to
run and could be damaged by the heat.
Ensure that you provide adequate air
circulation around the appliance, to prevent
condensation.
Leave at least 300mm free space above and
50mm or more from the wall.
Also, the appliance should be elevated 25mm
from the floor, especially if it is carpeted.
Providing you follow the recommended
ventilation requirements you will:
* Prolong the life of your appliance.
* Minimise the risk of condensation on the
outside of the appliance.
* Minimise the running costs.
* Minimise operating sounds caused by
vibration.
Door Removal:
If your access door is too narrow for the
appliance to pass through, you will need to
remove both doors - pass the appliance
through the access door, in its upright
position - then refit the doors on the other
side (see Door Removal instructions - pages 6
& 7).
Water Supply:
Your appliance has an ice maker and cool
water dispenser function and therefore needs
to be connected to a cold water supply before
use (see Feed Water Tube / Plumbing
Installation instructions - page 8 and 9).
Levelling
Level both doors by adjusting the left and
right hand height adjusting screws.
With the doors aligned they will close
correctly and this helps the appliance to run
efficiently (see Height Adjustment instructions
- page 10)
