APPLIANCE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

You can be seriously injured or even killed if you don’t follow instructions.

Safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, how to reduce the chance of injury, and what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong, nor use a 3/2 adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Use care not to plug into outlets controlled by wall switches.

Disconnect power before servicing.

After servicing, replace all parts and panels before operating.

Use nonflammable cleaners.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliances.

Use two or more people to move and install appliance.

Drawer refrigerators are provided with anti-tip brackets. Always install prior to use.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Appliance

e

Old appliances can represent a suffocation hazard to children.

Remove doors from your old appliance. Leave shelves in place.

If an old appliance contains refrigerants, it must be recycled by a licensed service or disposal company.

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. Always give the model and serial number of your appliance when requesting a replacement key. Keys for most models can be ordered online at www.summitappliance.com/support

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion or death.

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 1” (2.5 cm) of airspace at the top and on both sides of the appliance and 1” (2.5 cm) between the back of the appliance and the wall. If the appliance is going to be placed against a wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open wider than its width.

Note: This appliance may be installed side by side with another appliance or appliances. Allow for a 3” (7.5 cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¼” (0.64 cm) clearance between the appliances. IF

YOUR MODEL HAS THE LETTERS “BI” IN THE SUFFIX, IT IS DESIGNED FOR BUILT-IN USE, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE CLEARANCE EXCEPT IN THE BACK.

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.

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 15or 20amp 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.

Level your appliance (some upright models)

1. 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.

2. 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).

3. 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 of the floor to ensure the appliance does not roll forward when the door is opened.

4. Place a leveling tool on top of the appliance, first side to side, then front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.

5. Repeat Step 4 until appliance is level.

6. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 4.

7. If your appliance is equipped with casters, the two front casters have brakes to prevent rolling. Keep brakes locked, and unlock for moving only.

APPLIANCE USE

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 prevented, 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 is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the appliance at the proper temperature.

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 you can provide around an appliance, the less energy it will use.

If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2 inch.

Keep doors open a minimum of time, and shut securely.
