Frequently Asked Questions - HOCT3L517EW2 HOOVER

How to set the refrigerator temperature?

Press the right button (sensor) to cycle through the temperatures: Super Cooling, 2°C, 3°C, 4°C, 6°C, 8°C. The temperature blinks then locks after 5 seconds to confirm the setting.

What to do in case of a power outage?

The appliance retains settings in memory. Avoid opening the door to maintain cold. If the outage lasts less than the temperature rise time indicated on the label, frozen food remains safe.

How to reverse the door opening direction?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the upper hinge, the door, the middle and lower hinges. Move the stoppers and hole covers to the opposite side. Reinstall in reverse order starting with the lower hinge.

How to clean the inside of the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent. Do not clean cold glass shelves with hot water. Dry thoroughly before reconnecting.

How to defrost the freezer?

Unplug the appliance and leave the door open. Never use sharp objects or electrical appliances to speed up defrosting. Remove water with a cloth. Reconnect after complete drying.

What to do if the refrigerator is not cooling enough?

Check that the ambient temperature matches the climate class (SN, N, ST, T). Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked. Set a colder temperature (2°C or Super Cooling). If problem persists, contact technical support.

The interior light no longer works, how to replace it?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the lamp cover using a screwdriver. Replace the bulb (12V/5W) and put back the cover. If not comfortable, call a professional.

Which foods should not be stored in the refrigerator?

Bananas, onions, potatoes, and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. Store fruits and vegetables in the designated drawer.

Why is the door hard to open just after closing?

This is normal: a pressure difference has been created inside. Wait a few minutes for the pressure to equalize, then the door will open normally.
