Hotpoint KSF3022VL User Manual

! Before operating your new appliance, please read 
these operating instructions carefully. They contain 
important information for safe use, installation and care 
of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future 
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the 
appliance.

Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free 

room.

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor 

and condenser give off heat and require good 
ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.

3. Ensure the appliance is far away from any sources of 

heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

Electrical connections
After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it 
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it 
to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the 
electrical socket ensure the following:

•  The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant

with the law.

•  The socket can withstand the maximum power of

the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate 

located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 

W).

•  The voltage must be in the range between the values

indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left 

side (e.g. 220-240V).

•  The socket is compatible with the plug of the

appliance. 

  If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an 

authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do 
not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power 
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily 
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by 
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should 
these safety measures not be observed.
