To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator. Use the digital display to set your desired temperature for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Follow the user manual for specific instructions on navigating the controls.
Ensure the refrigerator is plugged in and the power is on. Check that the temperature settings are correct and the vents inside are not blocked by food items. Clean the condenser coils and ensure the door seals are intact. If the issue persists, contact customer support for further assistance.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 months to ensure efficient operation. Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to remove dust and debris from the coils.
Organize food by placing frequently used items at the front and grouping similar items together. Use the adjustable shelves and door bins to maximize space and ensure proper air circulation. Keep raw meat on the lowest shelf to prevent cross-contamination.
To change the light bulb, first unplug the refrigerator. Locate the light cover inside the refrigerator compartment, remove it, and replace the burnt-out bulb with a new one of the same type. Reattach the cover and plug the refrigerator back in.
Ice build-up can occur if the freezer door is not closed properly or if the door seal is damaged. Make sure the door is fully closed and check the seal for any gaps. Additionally, avoid overloading the freezer, which can obstruct air flow.
It is not recommended to install the refrigerator in locations where the temperature can fall below 50°F (10°C) as it may affect performance. Ideally, the appliance should be used in a climate-controlled environment.
To maintain energy efficiency, keep the refrigerator away from heat sources, ensure the door seals are tight, and avoid frequent door openings. Set the temperature to the recommended settings and regularly clean the condenser coils.
Unusual noises may result from the refrigerator not being level or items inside vibrating against each other. Ensure the appliance is on a level surface and rearrange items to prevent contact with the refrigerator walls. If noises persist, consult the user manual or contact support.
The Hisense HBM17158SS is equipped with an automatic defrost system. However, if manual defrosting is necessary, remove all food, unplug the refrigerator, and leave the freezer door open. Once defrosting is complete, clean and dry the interior before plugging it back in and restocking.
