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
Controlling the Temperature of the Freezer Compartment
The right hand control wheel on the front panel adjusts the internal freezer
compartment temperature. The internal temperature should be -18˚C or colder.
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

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 (models RFA08, RFM08), below 6˚C or above 43˚C (models RFA73,
RFM73, RFA63, RFM63) for prolonged periods, as the internal temperatures will not be
maintained.
