Frequently Asked Questions - HOBT5518DWK HOOVER

What to do if the refrigerator or freezer temperature is not cold enough?

Check that the doors are properly closed and the seals are in good condition. Avoid opening too often. If the setting is too high, lower the temperature via the control panel. Wait for the appliance to stabilize after placing warm food.

Why are foods freezing in the refrigerator?

This may be due to a temperature that is too low. Increase the refrigerator temperature setting. Make sure that food does not touch the back wall.

What does the door alarm sound mean?

The door alarm activates after 3 continuous minutes of opening. Close the door to stop it. This saves energy and prevents food spoilage.

How to activate Super Freeze mode?

Press and hold the TEMP button to select the freezer compartment, then press quickly until the Super Freeze icon lights up. You can also activate it from the hOn app. It automatically deactivates after 50 hours.

The appliance makes strange noises, is this normal?

Yes, gurgling (refrigerant circulation), humming (motor/fan) and clicking (switches) are normal. If the appliance is not level or touching furniture, adjust the feet or move it away.

How to connect the refrigerator to Wi-Fi?

Download the hOn app, create an account. On the appliance, briefly press the Wi-Fi button to start pairing (the light flashes). Follow the instructions in the app. Once connected, the light stays on.

Why is there water at the bottom of the refrigerator?

The drain tube may be clogged. Clean it with a stick or similar object to allow water to flow out.

How to use Eco mode?

Press the MODE button until the Eco icon lights up. The refrigerator sets to 4 °C and the freezer to -18 °C for optimal preservation with reduced consumption.

What to do in case of an error code?

If the temperature lights flash in a specific pattern (e.g., communication or fan), contact technical support. Refer to the manual for exact meaning.
