Controlling the Temperature of the Freezer Compartment
The control wheel on the front panel adjusts the internal freezer temperature.
The internal freezer temperature should be -18˚C or colder.
The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the 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 freezer 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 freezer must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 2˚C or
above 38˚C for prolonged periods, as the internal freezer temperature will not be
maintained.
