CONTROLS

Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge Compartment

The left hand control wheel on the front panel 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 freezer, the room temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked by a 3 on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the control wheel using a coin to avoid damage:

Clockwise (higher number) - Colder

Anti-clockwise (lower number) - Warmer

You can check the temperature of the fridge freezer compartments 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 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 temperatures will not be maintained.
