Leveling your appliance
Locate the two front leveling legs that may be taped among the packing materials. (In
many models these legs are already mounted into the underside of the appliance.)
1. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the appliance. The back of
the appliance rests on two fixed supports. (Built-in models also have rear level
legs that can provide more precise leveling).
2. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
Note: If your model is equipped with front rollers, the front legs should be lowered
enough to lift the rollers off the floor to ensure the appliance does not roll
forward when the door is opened.
3. Place a leveling tool on top of the appliance, first side to side, then front to back.
Turn leg counter-clockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.
4. Repeat Step 3 until appliance is level.
5. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 3.
6.
If your appliance is equipped with casters, the two front casters have brakes to
prevent rolling. Keep brakes locked, and unlock for moving only.
(some models):
When using the appliance:
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the
appliance. Do not block off any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
hindered, and temperature and moisture problems may occur. Always position
contents to allow some airflow between shelves or baskets.
Allow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding contents. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
NOTE: When the appliance is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the
appliance is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room
temperature and the number of times the appliance door is opened. After the
appliance has cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the
appliance at the proper temperature.
For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this unit be at
least 30% full during use. If you are only using this unit to store small loads, we
recommend adding some water bottles or freezer packs to ensure temperature
stability.
The outside of your appliance may feel warm. This is normal. The appliance’s design
and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the
appliance. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the appliance
feel warm. (In some models the condenser that gets warm is just inside the side walls,
making these walls warm to the touch.)
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• The more airflow provided around an appliance, the less energy it will use.
• If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2".
• Keep doors open a minimum of time, and shut securely.

Appliance Care
Defrosting:
Refrigerator models listed in this manual defrost automatically. However, freezer
models require manual defrosting. Before defrosting the unit, remove the contents of
the freezer, then set the thermostat to OFF (the compressor will stop working). Leave
the door open until ice and frost are completely melted. To speed up defrosting, you
can place a container of warm water (about 125°F) into the cabinet. Soak up the melt
water with clean toweling or a sponge and be sure the interior is dry before turning the
thermostat back to its normal setting.
• NOTE: It is not advisable to heat the interior of the freezer directly with hot water or
a hair dryer while defrosting since this can deform the cabinet interior.
NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE
REAR WALL. IF NEEDED, USE A PLASTIC ICE-SCRAPER.
Cleaning the appliance:
NOTE: To prevent the buildup of odors, clean the appliance about once a month.
Follow the procedure below for cleaning:
1. Disconnect from power.
2. Remove any parts that can be taken out of the cabinet, such as drawers.
3. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth, hand wash, rinse and dry removable parts and
interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a mild detergent in warm water. DO NOT use
abrasive or harsh cleansers such as window sprays, scouring cleansers,
flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products. DO NOT use harsh cleaning tools such as paper
towels or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the surfaces of the
refrigerator.
4. For stainless steel and painted metal exterior surfaces, use a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. DO NOT use abrasive or harsh
cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine, as these can scratch or damage the
material. Using a soft cloth, dry thoroughly.
5. To help with removing odors, you can use a mixture of warm water and baking
soda (2 tbs to 1 qt of water) to wash the interior walls.
6. After cleaning, replace all of the parts that were removed from the appliance.
7. The condenser coils, located on the back or behind the base grille, should also be
cleaned regularly. This may be as often as every other month. Cleaning the
condenser coils can help reduce how much energy the appliance uses. When the
condenser coils are dusty or dirty, use a vacuum cleaner with an extension
attachment.
8. After cleaning the appliance, plug in or reconnect power.
NOTE: For CSS Models (completely stainless steel), only use cleaners
especially made for stainless steel.
7
Changing the light
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your appliance. Be sure to replace the bulb
with one of the same size, shape, base size and wattage. You can purchase
bulbs from www.summitappliance.com/support
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield. Most models do not require tools.
3. Replace the light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
Replacement LED bulbs are available from our parts department.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
bulb (some models only):
Loss of power:
In the event of power loss, unplug the appliance. Once power is restored, allow
30 minutes for the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time, keep the
door closed as much as possible.
Remember: A full appliance stays cold longer than a partially filled one.
Moving the appliance:
1. Remove stored items and tape shelves, drawers and trays in place.
2. Unplug the appliance.
3. Clean it thoroughly.
4. Tape the appliance shut and tape the electrical cord to the cabinet.
When you get the appliance to its new location, refer to the Installation
Instructions and Temperature Selection sections for information on installation
and setting the controls.

Temperature Selection & Monitoring
Note: details may
vary from image
Digital Thermostat
Temperature Parameters:
MED2 all-refrigerators come with digital thermostats that are preset at 4ºC, with a
range of 2º to 8ºC.
VT65MLBIMED2 and VT65MLBIMED2ADA all-freezers are preset to -20º, with a
range of -25º to -10ºC.
All other MED2 all-freezers are preset to -18ºC, with a range of -20º to -10ºC.
If you find it necessary to change the temperature setting for your digital thermostat,
please refer to the following instructions.
How to Adjust the Temperature:
To see the SET POINT:
The default display for your digital thermostat is the internal cabinet temperature. To
view the unit’s set point, push and immediately release the SET key. The display will
flash, showing the set point value. If no other actions are taken in 6 seconds, the
display will revert to the internal air temperature.
To change the SET POINT:
While the set point value is blinking, press the UP or DOWN arrow to change the set
point to your desired temperature. Press the SET button again to exit the adjustment.
The display will revert to the internal air temperature. PLEASE NOTE: The
temperature displayed on the digital thermostat is the internal air temperature. Your
alarm/thermometer (installed on the left in the control panel) provides a temperature
readout based on the buffered probe in order to better simulate the temperature of
what is actually stored inside the unit (as opposed to the air temperature itself). As a
result, these readings may not always display the same temperature reading.
NOTE:
The minimum and maximum range of your thermostat is preset and
locked by us, so it cannot easily be accidentally moved outside of the
recommended temperature ranges.
