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 killed or seriously injured if you do not follow these instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the

chance of injury, and tell you 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 refrigerator/freezer, 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

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

UNPACKING

Excessive Weight Hazard! * Use two or more p eople 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 the cleaning instructions in “Appliance Care.”

6. All upright models have level legs in the front and many also have them in the rear. 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.

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

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a
location where the temperature will fall below 45°F (7°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, if possible, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can
open wider than its width (to make it easier to remove shelves or storage bins).

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

The greater the airflow and ventilation you provide for your appliance—the higher its energy efficiency and
performance will be.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLACE

Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated place. It is recommended that this appliance always be operated in an
ambient temperature of at least 60°F and under 85°F. The appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures but only for a
short period of time and the temperature should never be lower than 45°F. Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices
(e.g. cooker, radiator, water heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz. AC only 15- or 20- amp fused or circuit breaker, grounded electrical supply 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. Connect
this appliance to a 3 prong power supply socket outlet (which has a ground terminal). If you only have a two prong outlet have it
replaced by a qualified technician with an outlet that meets the local codes. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Required
nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be
made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance from -15 to 10%.

ON OUTDOOR MODELS ONLY

NEVER USE INDOOR RATED APPLIANCES OUTDOORS. Summit manufactures refrigerators and freezers specifically for outdoor
use and these are the only ones that should be used outdoors.

Electrical Shock Hazard. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remov e ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Many outdoor outlets are controlled by wall switches. Turning off power and on again may cause the GFCI switch to trip.

A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is built into every line cord. Do not defeat or bypass this important safety feature. The line
cord supplied with this appliance is specially designed for outdoor use. Use only a factory supplied replacement cord with a GFCI
(ground fault circuit interrupter) in the event the cord becomes damaged.

You may purchase these cords from either our sales or service department at 718-893-3900 (sales) or 718-328-8700 (service).
It can also be ordered online from www.summitapplianceparts.com

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The more airflow you can provide around an appliance, the less energy it will use.

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

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

LEVELING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing materials. In most 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 of the floor.

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 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 cold, It may
take up to 6 or 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 inside the side walls, making

these walls warm to the touch.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (Selected models)

If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, on some models you can change it.
Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared in the factory. On models with our wrapped stainless steel
door and 12 inch pro handle, (suffix SSTB, SSVH or CSS or with optional handles “TB” or “SH” ) you must order
these with either a right hand or left hand door swing in advance. These doors cannot be reversed. Models with a
suffix SSHH, BIFR, BIIF, and CSSHH can be reversed.

TO REVERSE YOUR DOOR

• Take off the upper hinge cover from the door and remove the screws that hold the top hinge.

• Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in the top of the door.

• Lift the door up away to free its bottom socket from the hinge pin.

• Remove the screws to the bottom hinge.

• Remove the decorative caps from opposite side and plug the holes from original side with the decorative caps.

• Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock washers or nuts if they were

installed in the original installation.

• Replace door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place top hinge pin into door. Insert screws into the top
hinge and tighten.

If you notice the door not hanging straight—loosen the top hinges, adjust the door until it is level and tighten the
screws.
