Operating Instructions
Connect to Power Source
Insert the plug of the HCWF into a standard 120V AC 60 Hz. 15A outlet. The HCWF
contains a compressor and should not be used on the same circuit with other motors or
heavy demand appliances.
Start-up
The power switch is located on the front of the unit by the control display. Allow the
HCWF to run for one hour prior to loading with product to pull down to operating
temperature
Temperature Setting
The HCWF has been tested and preset at the factory to maintain a temperature
between -10ºF (-23°C) and 0ºF (-18°C). The temperature controller located on the front
panel displays the internal temperature of the refrigerator. (Figure 1.)

Caution!
To view current set point or if the temperature is not reading within the range specified
above, the thermostat can be adjusted using the following procedure:
Figure 1
Press “ i " button on lower left corner of controller to view the setpoint. Press the up or
down arrow keys to the right to reach the desired setpoint. Factory limits are set to
prevent unit from being set too cold or too warm.
Do not adjust the set point below -13ºF or -25ºC. Doing so may
result in excessive ice buildup on the cooling coils, the unit not holding a
safe temperature, and potential damage to the compressor.
Loading and Restocking
DO NOT over-load the HCWF case. All refrigeration requires good air circulation
to maintain uniform temperatures.
DO NOT let plastic bags, packaging or containers block or obstruct the
Evaporator air intake openings at the top of the case.
DO NOT leave the door open, except to remove product or to restock.
Store Closing Procedure
The HCWF is designed for continuous operation and manual defrost is not required.
Consult your store manager or operations director for guidance on product storage.
