What the display shows during normal operation:

Fridge (top compartment): with temperature setting at 4˚C

Flashing downwards arrow shows the fridge compartment is warming to reach 4˚C.

Flashing upwards arrow shows the fridge compartment is cooling to reach 4˚C.

No arrow shows the fridge compartment is at 4˚C.

Note: The temperature displayed is the average temperature for the compartment, some sections will be slightly warmer or colder.

The arrows will only be displayed if the temperature drifts, possibly due to the door being opened, warm food being placed inside or a selected change in the temperature setting.

Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge or the Freezer Compartment

●Use the Compartment Select button to choose either the fridge compartment or the freezer compartment.

●Press the Temp Change button to select a different temperature for the compartment. The temperature will decrease, getting 1˚C colder for each press of the button, until the required setting is reached or the coldest possible setting is reached (2˚C for the fridge compartment and -25˚C for the freezer compartment).

●Once the coldest possible setting is reached, pressing the Temp Change button again will return the temperature selection to the maximum setting (6˚C for the fridge compartment and -18˚C for the freezer compartment).

Note: The display light will come on when you press any button and it will stay on for 12 seconds.

You can check the temperature of the fridge freezer compartments by using a Fridge Freezer Thermometer available from Hotpoint Genuine Part 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 freezer 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.
