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. Serious injury or even death can be the result 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.

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 grounding prong, nor use a 3/2 adaptor.

• Do not use an extension cord.

room temperatures, the motor will run about 40% to 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions it will run even more.

Has a large number of items been added to the appliance?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. The
motor will normally run longer to cool the appliance back down.

Is the door completely closed?

Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see

“The door will not close completely” later in this section.

Are the condenser coils dirty?

This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.
Clean the condenser coils.

Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?

Contact a qualified technician.

NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember
that the compressor on your new appliance will operate longer
than your old one due it its high-efficiency motor.

The interior temperature is too warm:

Are the air vents blocked?

This prevents cold air movement. Move objects away from the
air vents.

Is the door opened often?

Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this occurs. In
order to keep the appliance cool, try to get everything you need
out at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close
the door as soon as food is removed.

Has a large amount of food just been added?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can
take several hours to return to the normal temperature.

The door will not close completely or is difficult to open:

Are food packages blocking the door?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up
less space.

Are shelves out of position?
Put the shelves back into their correct positions.

The interior light does not work:

Is the appliance working properly except that the LED light
on the cabinet ceiling does not go on when the ON/OFF
Light Switch is pushed?

Order an LED light at www.summitapplianceparts.com, or
speak directly to Customer Service at 1-800-287-8799.

6. Plug in your appliance or reconnect power.

7. Replace contents.

8. For the stainless steel door frame and handle, use special

stainless steel cleaners only. Do not use bleach or any
abrasive cleaners.

Never use a metal object to remove ice from the rear wall. If
needed, use a plastic ice scraper or a hair dryer.

Installation Instructions

UNPACKING

ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS
BEFORE TURNING ON, TO ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR
LUBRICANT TO DRAIN.

1. Remove packaging material.

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 cleansers to remove tape or glue. These products
can damage the surface of the 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

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.

:

AUTO-DEFROST OPERATION

This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the
operation of the compressor, ice will build up on the evaporator
plate which is at the back of inner cabinet. During the
compressor’s off-cycle, the ice will melt, drip down, and collect in a
tray above the compressor, where the compressor’s heat
evaporates the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the
evaporator, try setting the temperature slightly higher. Also, be
sure that the door gasket is sealing well.

SHELVES

The refrigerator has three full-sized removable, chrome-plated
wire shelves. To take out a shelf, first remove its contents, then
raise the back of the shelf slightly and pull the shelf out.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Use non-flammable cleaners.

A complete cleaning of the refrigerator should be performed before
first use and after that, at least every three months.

1. Unplug the appliance or disconnect power.

2. Remove all contents.

3. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm
water or 2 tbs (26 g) baking soda in 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 lines or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch and otherwise
damage materials.

4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

5. Wash the black exterior housing with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasives or harsh cleansers, or cleaners designed for
stainless steel (except on the door frame and handle). 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

The Light Switch allows you to turn on the interior light with a push
of the button. The light will stay on until you push the button again,
so be sure to shut it off when not needed, to save energy and
avoid raising the cabinet temperature unnecessarily.

The LED Display normally shows the current average temperature
inside the cabinet. It also allows you to set the temperature you
desire, as described below.

The two SET buttons let you raise or lower the cabinet

temperature to the level you prefer. To change the temperature,

press one of the SET buttons. The LED Display will begin to blink,
and while it is blinking, raise or lower the displayed temperature by
pressing the appropriate SET button. Stop when the Display
shows the temperature you want. In a couple of seconds, the
Display will stop blinking and the unit will adjust itself to the new
temperature.
NOTE: You cannot change the set temperature unless the Display
is blinking.

The °C/°F switch is a combination of keys. If you press both ▲
and ▼ buttons together and hold them for three seconds, the
temperature readout will change between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

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 the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this

manual.

6. The appliance has leveling legs at the front. For best
operation, be sure the unit is level.

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

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 the 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 beside 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.)

Choosing the Right Place
Place the unit in a dry and regularly ventilated place. It is
recommended that this appliance always be operated in an
ambient temperature of at least 32°F and under 90°F. The
appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures but
only for a short period of time. Never place the appliance near
heat-emitting devices (e.g., oven, radiator, water heater or similar
devices) or in moist areas, and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

Recommended Grounding Method
A 115V, 60Hz AC-only, grounded electrical supply, including a 15­or 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.
Connect this appliance to a 3-prong power supply socket (which
has a good ground terminal). If you only have a two-prong outlet,

Page 6 SUMMIT APPLIANCE

have it replaced by a qualified electrician 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 shifts with a tolerance from
– 15% to +10%.

Energy Saving Tips

• The more airflow you can provide around an appliance, the less

energy it will use.

• Keep door open a minimum of time, and shut securely.

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

1. Be sure the two front leveling legs are screwed into place on the
bottom of the unit. The back of the unit rests on two fixed
supports.

2. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the
floor.

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,
and clockwise to lower a corner.

4. Repeat Step 3 until appliance is level.

5. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with a level as in Step 3.

Operation

The SCR312L beverage refrigerator should be placed where the
ambient temperature is between 32°F and 90°F. If the ambient
temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the
unit may be affected. For example, extremely hot or cold
conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate.

Other factors that may affect the inner temperature are whether
the interior light is kept ON or OFF, and whether the bottles are
located on the upper/middle or lower section.
