Appliance Safet
Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us.
y
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.
• 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.
NOTE: Drawer refrigerators are provided with anti-tip brackets. Always install
prior to use.
Proper disposal of an 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injur y
when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:
4
Excessive Weight Hazard !
Installation Instructions
Use two or more people to move and i nsta ll your appliance.
Failure to do so can result in bac k or other injury.
ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS BE FORE TURNING ON, TO
ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT TO DRAIN.
1. Remove packaging materials.
2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning o n the applian ce.
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
5.
:
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.
Clean Before Using
6. Some upright models have leveling legs. Level as neces sary for best
operation.
:
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
appliance before using it. See cleaning instructions in Appliance Care.
7. If your appliance has casters, after moving into place , lock th e 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
5
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away
from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion or
death.
Location Requirements
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 airspa ce a t th e 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” (10 cm) 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
CLEARANCES EXCEPT AT THE BACK WHERE AT
LEAST 2” OF CLEARANCE SHOULD BE ALLOWED. ALL FF590 AND
SCFF51OSWH MODELS ARE ALSO BUILT-IN CAPABLE
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Electrical Shock Hazard
• 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 15- or 20- a mp f us e
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.
:
6
Leveling your appliance
Locate the two f ront leveling legs that may be taped among the pack ing materials. (In
many models these legs are already mounted into t he underside of the appliance.)
(some upright models):
1. Screw t hese legs into t he front holes on the bot tom of the appli ance. 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 low ered
enough to lift the rollers of f the floor to ensur e the appliance does not roll
forward when the door is opened.
3. Place a leveling tool on top of the applianc e, first side to side, then front to back.
Turn leg counter -clockwis e to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.
4. Repeat St ep 3 until appliance is level.
5. After appliance is f ully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 3.
6. If your appliance is equipped w ith casters , the two front casters have brakes to
prevent rolling. Keep brakes locked, and unloc k 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 t o allow some airfl ow 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 t he appl ianc e i s fi rs t s tart ed, t he c ompr ess or wi ll run c ons tant l y unt i l 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 comp ressor will turn on and off as neede d to keep the
appliance at the proper temperature.
For optimum temperatur e performance, it is recomm ended that this unit be at
least 30% full dur ing use. I f you are onl y usin g t his unit t o st ore smal l l oads, w e
recommend addi ng some water bottles or fr eezer packs to ensure temperat ure
stability.
The outside of your ap pliance may feel warm. Thi s is nor mal. The appli ance’s des ign
and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the
appliance. Th e heat is tr ans fer red to t he r oom air , mak ing t he out si de of t he appl ianc e
feel warm. (In some models the condenser that gets warm is jus t i nside the side walls,
making these w alls 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 d o not have to def rost your applianc e. Fros t is removed by
air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The
cooling coil periodically w arms up eno ugh to melt th e frost, and the water then f lows
down to the drain pan (located behi nd the base grill) where it is evaporated.
Complete cleani ng should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug applia nce or disconnect power.
2. Remove all stored items, plus shelves, tr ays, etc.
3. Wash the inside walls, shel ves and trays wi th a solution of mild detergent in warm
water or 2 tbs p (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm wat er.
• Do not use abras ive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays , scouring
cleansers , flammable flui ds, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents ,
bleaches or c leansers containing petroleum pr oducts on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouri ng pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage surfaces.
4. Rinse well and wi pe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropri ate cleaning method for the exterior finis h.
Painted metal
6. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in w arm water. Do not us e abrasive or harsh cl eaners, or cleaners
designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional
protection ag ainst damage to painted met al exterior s, apply appl iance wax (or
auto paste wax) wi th a clean, soft cloth. Do not w ax plastic par ts.
7. Replace all c ontainers.
Cleaning a cycle defrost or manual defrost refrigerator
Cycle defros t models util ize a system where ic e builds up on the r ear wall and melt s
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 surfac es using the sam e instructions as for frost-free models.
For CSS Models (com pletel y stai nless st eel), only use cl eaner s especi ally m ade
for stainl ess steel.

1. Remove stored ite ms and tape shelv e s, dr aw er s 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.

YOUR APPLIANCE MAY HAVE A MECHANICAL (DIAL) OR DIGITAL THERMOSTAT.
DIAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW. DIGI T AL INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON PAGE 10.
Temperature Selection and Monitoring
Manual (dial) thermostat
Your refrigerator may be controlled with a t hermostat knob located insi de the unit,
towards the r ight-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position
toward the high er numbers for colder temperatures.
(on most models):
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 s ystem 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 p erformance, i t is recommended that this u nit be at
least 30% full during use. If you are onl y using t his unit to stor e small load s,
we recommend adding some water bottles or freezer packs to ensure
temperature stability.
