Hoover HOBL3518EVWK F.A.Q.

How do I properly install the Hoover HOBL3518EVWK refrigerator?

To install the Hoover HOBL3518EVWK refrigerator, ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface. Leave at least a 5 cm gap at the back and sides for ventilation. Connect to a grounded electrical outlet and wait for the unit to stabilize for 4 hours before loading with food.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling effectively?

Check if the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and the vents are not blocked by food items. If the problem persists, clean the condenser coils and verify the back is not too close to the wall.

How can I defrost the freezer compartment?

To defrost the freezer, remove all contents and unplug the refrigerator. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Use towels to absorb water and clean the interior with a mild detergent once defrosted.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the HOBL3518EVWK?

Clean the condenser coils every six months, check the door seals monthly for any damage, and ensure the interior is cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene. Replace the water filter every six months if applicable.

How do I change the light bulb in the refrigerator?

Unplug the refrigerator before changing the bulb. Locate the light cover inside the fridge, remove it, and replace the bulb with one of the same type and wattage. Reattach the cover and plug the fridge back in.

Why is there water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator?

Water pooling can occur if the defrost drain is blocked. Clean the drain with warm water and a mild detergent. Ensure that the refrigerator is level to prevent water from leaking out.

How can I adjust the temperature settings?

Locate the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial to adjust the temperature; a lower number usually indicates a warmer setting, while a higher number means cooler temperatures.

What should I do if the refrigerator is making unusual noises?

Unusual noises can be due to the refrigerator not being level. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Ensure the refrigerator is not touching walls or cabinets. If noises persist, check for loose components inside.

How do I clean the exterior of the refrigerator?

Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent to clean the exterior surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.

What is the proper way to store food in the refrigerator for optimal cooling?

Store raw meat on the bottom shelf to prevent cross-contamination. Keep commonly used items at eye level, and do not overcrowd shelves to allow air circulation. Use airtight containers to preserve freshness.
