Installation Instructions
Excessive Weight Hazard !
Use two or more people to move and install your appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE TURNING ON, TO
ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT TO DRAIN.
1. Remove packaging materials.
2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the appliance.
Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers.
Rinse with warm water and dry.
3. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of
your appliance.
4. When Moving Your Appliance:
Your appliance is heavy. When moving the appliance for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the appliance straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the appliance when trying to move it,
because floor damage can occur.
5. Clean Before Using:
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
appliance before using it. See cleaning instructions in Appliance Care.
6. Some upright models have leveling legs. Level as necessary for best
operation.
7. If your appliance has casters, after moving into place, lock the brakes on
those casters supplied with brakes. Always unlock before moving the
appliance for cleaning.
Key Eject lock (some models):
To lock or unlock the appliance, you must hold the key in the lock while turning.
The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer or SUMMIT APPLIANCE for a replacement.

Location Requirements
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away
from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion or
death.
Location:
IMPORTANT: Do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or other heat
source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C). Do not
place in direct sunlight.
Check the strength of the floor before installing your appliance. It should hold the
weight of a fully loaded appliance. Allow at least 4” (10 cm) of airspace at the top
and on both sides of the appliance and also 4” between the back of the appliance
and the wall. If the appliance is going to be placed next to a wall, leave extra
space on the hinge side so the door can open wider than its width.
NOTE: Allow 4” (10cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¼” (0.64 cm)
clearance between appliances. IF YOUR MODEL HAS THE LETTERS “BI”
IN THE SUFFIX, IT IS DESIGNED FOR BUILT-IN USE AND REQUIRES
ONLY
MINIMAL
LEAST 2” OF CLEARANCE SHOULD BE ALLOWED. ALL FF590 AND
SCFF51OSWH MODELS ARE ALSO BUILT-IN CAPABLE
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
CLEARANCES EXCEPT AT THE BACK WHERE AT
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock or
death.
Recommended grounding method:
A 115 Volt (AC only) 60 Hz grounded electrical supply with a 15- or 20- amp fuse
or circuit breaker is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only your appliance be provided. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a
switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
5
Leveling your appliance (some upright models):
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.
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
Cleaning a frost-free appliance:
Use nonflammable cleaners.
Frost-free means that you do not have to defrost your appliance. Frost is removed by
air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The
cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt the frost, and the water then flows
down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill) where it is evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove all stored items, plus shelves, trays, etc.
3. Wash the inside walls, shelves and trays with a solution of mild detergent in warm
water or 2 tbsp (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring
cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage surfaces.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for the exterior finish.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners
designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional
protection against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or
auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
6. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
7. Replace all containers.
Cleaning a cycle defrost or manual defrost refrigerator:
Cycle defrost models utilize a system where ice builds up on the rear wall and melts
when the compressor is off. Manual defrost models continually build ice on inner
walls.
NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE REAR WALL.
IF NEEDED, USE A PLASTIC ICE-SCRAPER OR A HAIR DRYER.
Clean surfaces using the same instructions as for frost-free models.
For CSS Models (completely stainless steel), only use cleaners especially made
for stainless steel.

Base grill (some models only):
To Remove and Replace the Base Grill:
1. Open the appliance door and remove the base grill by pulling down and out
from the top.
2. Replace the base grill by putting the clips in the openings in the appliance
panel. Push in until the base grill snaps into place.
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.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
bulb (some models only):
Loss of power:
After the power is restored, unplug the appliance for 30 minutes to allow 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 and Monitoring
YOUR APPLIANCE MAY HAVE A MECHANICAL (DIAL) OR DIGITAL THERMOSTAT.
DIAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW. DIGITAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON PAGE 10.
Manual (dial) thermostat (on most models):
Your refrigerator may be controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit,
towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position
toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures.
Setting the Temperature:
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures
(colder) in all compartments of the appliance. The temperature inside a
refrigerator may even drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only
when required or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal,
we recommend a medium setting.
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the
appliance, so keep this in mind when choosing the setting of the thermostat
dial.
At STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), but the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you
open the refrigerator door).
The temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments also depend
on how often you open the door.
In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are
coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents
accordingly.
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.
