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
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.
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.
