What the display shows during normal operation:
Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge or the Freezer Compartment
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.
● 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.
