The Hoover H-FRIDGE 700 MAXI is built for demanding household needs, ensuring your food stays fresh and accessible. For example, after a large weekly shop, simply load your fresh vegetables and dairy into the fridge. Engaging the Super Cool function will rapidly bring these new items down to the ideal storage temperature, preventing spoilage and maintaining crispness in your salads and vegetables. Similarly, if you're freezing a batch of homemade meals or fresh berries, the Super Freeze function quickly locks in their nutrients and texture, ensuring they're as good as fresh when you're ready to use them.
The Total No Frost system is a standout feature for busy individuals. You'll never have to manually chip away ice from your freezer walls or worry about frost interfering with food packaging. This means more consistent cooling, better food preservation, and significantly less maintenance. The ample space is perfect for families, allowing you to store large cuts of meat, multiple grocery bags, and large drink bottles with ease. Its robust design is intended for continuous, reliable operation, providing peace of mind that your food is always stored in optimal conditions.
Unpacking & Placement: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Position the fridge freezer on a level, solid surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., oven, radiators). Ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the unit; refer to the user manual for specific clearance requirements.
Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the appliance is perfectly level by adjusting the front leveling feet. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded wall socket. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Initial Operation: After plugging in, set the desired temperatures for both fridge and freezer compartments. Allow 12-24 hours for the appliance to reach its set temperatures before loading it with food.
Electrical: Requires a standard household electrical supply. Ensure your home's electrical system can support the appliance's power requirements.
Space: Due to its dimensions (1830mm H x 911mm W x 670mm D), ensure you have sufficient kitchen space for installation, including adequate room for door swing.
Interior Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the interior with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly.
Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel finishes, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner.
Door Seals: Periodically check and clean the door seals to ensure they are free of food particles and maintain an airtight seal. A tight seal is crucial for energy efficiency.
No Defrosting Required: Thanks to the Total No Frost system, manual defrosting of the freezer compartment is not necessary. If you notice any unusual ice buildup, check door seals for proper closure.
