I've just moved into a house and acquired a Hotpoint Mistral Plus Frost-Free fridge freezer. There was no owner manual left for me.
I am no expert, but the temperature on the freezer (minus 22) seems too low. So, I have tried to adjust it in order to save energy, but I cannot understand how to do this without the manual. Then I tried to get a manual from the Hotpoint website, but nothing was listed for Mistral Plus.
I looked for a rating plate that might also have a serial number, but I the fridge doesn't have one.
Having seen on this webiste that this model suffers from faults that create excessive temperature in the two compartments, I wondered if anyone could help with the following:
1, Can anyone provide me with a link to where I can access a copy of the owners manual, and/or tell me where I can find a model number or what the model number is for this machine?
2, Am I right in thinking that this freezer temperature is far too low? I have seen the advice on the other threads of possible causes, but without the manual I cannot try to fix it.
Since the fridge is too big for my needs anyway, I will probably get rid of it and buy a small fridge. If anyone in Yorkshire is interested in it for parts/repair, please contact me.
Thanks for any advice,
Andrew
