Start-Up And Use; Starting The Appliance; Using The Refrigerator To Its Full Potential - Hotpoint KHM325FF.1 Operating Instructions Manual

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water
and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to put
food in the refrigerator.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
1 = warmest 5 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located
inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment
for increased space and improved aesthetics. During
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or
water droplets depending on whether the compressor
is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is
functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been
set on high values with large quantities of food and with
a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by
shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will
occur automatically).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way:
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier.
The food should be stored as follows:

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the
compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and
tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable
and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing
easy storage of large containers and food. Height can
be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
*
MULTI-USE bin: to store food (such as cold meats) for
a long time and also prevent odours from lingering in the
refrigerator.
BOTTLE RACK/ CAN RACK
or several cans horizontally (see diagram). When not
in use, close the flap door to increase the space in the
refrigerator compartment.
WINE AREA*: to store up
to three bottles of wine (see
diagram). The air circulates
freely between the bottles
guaranteeing rapid cooling.
When not in use, close it to
increase the space on the shelf.
*
flap door: to store a bottle
