Yesterday our new fridge freezer arrived ... Which I'm reliably informed was delivered by two totally useless delivery man with a shabby van.
After tea I set about the task of switching it so the hinges were on the opposite side to better suit our kitchen layout. One word. Hassle.
Firstly, the supplied instructions were nothing more than a few diagrams. No words. Secondly, I had to actually drill into the front to make new mounting holes for one of the hinges. Thirdly, all the screws were philips heads except for the bottom hinge which used torx. And then finally, the trim at the bottom had no hole for the hinge on the left, so I had to cut it out. Yet strangely they supplied a spare blanking plate to cover the old hole. Not what i had expected from Hotpoint.
Anyway, that all sorted we cleaned it out with bicarbonate of soda and powered it up. But someone (Mel) didnt follow the instructions properly so it took ages for us to make it stop its repetitive beep beep beeping. A full shut down, unplug and reboot according to instructions finally did it. Hoorah!
So, plenty of room for mummy, daddy, Chloé and baby2 in the fridge now. Would have struggle for space in the old one as it was nowhere near as tall.
