Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge Compartment

The control wheel on the front of the worktop adjusts the internal fridge compartment temperature. The internal temperature should be 5˚C or colder although some sections, such as the salad bin, will be slightly warmer.

The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the fridge, the room temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked by a 3 and N on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the control wheel:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

Temperature Indicator

(not applicable to all models)

The temperature indicator is located on the bottom right hand side of the refrigerator wall.

This indicator shows when the refrigerator compartment of your larder fridge is operating at the correct temperature.

After plugging in and switching on PLEASE WAIT 24 HOURS for the refrigerator compartment temperature to stabilise. After this time the indicator should clearly show OK and that indicates the refrigerator compartment is operating at the correct temperature.

If the indicator is completely black, the compartment temperature is too high and you should adjust the temperature wheel to a colder setting (see above).

If you have to adjust the temperature setting please WAIT A MINIMUM OF 10 HOURS, this is time for the temperature to stabilise before checking that the indicator is showing OK.

If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently it is normal for the temperature indicator not to show OK. WAIT A MINIMUM OF 10 HOURS before adjusting the temperature setting to a colder position.

You can check the temperature of the fridge compartment by using a Fridge Freezer Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS back page).

WARNING: Do not use a mercury filled thermometer, as breakage would cause a health hazard.

Your fridge must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 6˚C or above 38˚C for prolonged periods, as the internal fridge temperature will not be maintained.
