SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use
and care guide,
2) This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used, See grounding instructions in the
installation section,
3) Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
5) Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in
defrosting your freezer.
7) If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the
doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8) After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9) Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United
States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
reads: "...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they
still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F''.
"...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-
color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"...Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating
quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality
as you can,"
HCM050JAdoc 10/22/01 11:20 AM Page 3
10) This freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet, It is
designed for freestanding installation only,
1 1) Do not operate your freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.

Unpacking Your Freezer
1, Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and
outside.
2, Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the freezer,
Adjustin 9 Your Freezer
Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only,
It should not be recessed or built-in,
Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle,
This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24
hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Proper Air Circulation
To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:
Sides ............... 4" (102mm)
Top. ................... 4" (102mm)
Back. ................ .4" (102mm)
HCM050JAdoc 10/22/01 11:20 AM Page 7,
[mectrica Requiremen[
Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)
with proper grounding to power the freezer.
Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice
since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may result in
shock hazard.
Limitations
Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in
temperature settings below 55 ° Fahrenheit.
Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected.

Operating Your Freezer
Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an ele(trical outlet
having 115 vors and 15 amps.
Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob, "1" being the
warmest and "111" being the coldest Initially set the temperature on "11"
Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on indicating that the
freezer is in operation), After using the freezer for 24 hours set the
freezer to your desired setting,
In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage,
allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
Generam features
Adjustable temperature dial: (seefig. # 1)
Your freezer will automatically maintain
the temperature level you select, The
temperature control dial has 3 settings
plus OFF, "1" is the warmest, "111"is the
coldest Turning the dial to OFF stops
cooling the freezer, Set the dial to "11"
and allow 24 hours to pass before
adjusting the temperature to your needs,
(Note: If the freezer has been
placed in a horizontal or
tilled position for any period
of time wait 24 hours before
plugging the unit in.)

Your freezer is equipped with a Fast Freeze switch (orange switch),
which will allow you to quickly freeze food when initially
turning on the freezer or when you have added a lot of food at one
time. Flip the orange Fast Freeze switch on and the compressor will run
continuously. Turn off the Fast Freeze feature once food has reached
desired temperature,
Note: Do not forget to turn off the fast freeze switch when not required,
Doing so will avoid unnecessary energy use,

Defrosting and Draining the Freezer:
Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove the frost as it may damage the cooling
coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)
Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.
Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer (see fig. #3a).
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the
freezer door open.
For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the
drain dial (see fig. #3b) and rotate it so that the arrow points down-
ward. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, push the
drain dial in and turn the arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain
plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under
the drain to avoid overflow.
Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in
the electrical outlet.
Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

Frozen Food:
Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills,
Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
When storing meats, keep in the original
packaging or rewrap as necessary,
Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in
packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out,
Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in
the drying out of the improperly packaged food.
Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.
Packaging Recommendations:
Plastic containers with air tight lids
Heavy duty aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film
Self-sealing plastic bags
Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.
Norma_ Operating Sounds You May Hear
Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off,
