Temperature Setting
The HCMF 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. This unit will be configured to
run in Celsius temperature mode. If Fahrenheit mode is desired, consult HK Service.

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:

Press and hold the “ 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.

Caution! 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 HCMF 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.
