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.
Do not plug into outlets controlled by wall switches.

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 peo-
ple to move and install your appliance. Failure
to do so can result in back or other injury.

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,
have it replaced by a qualified electrician with an outlet that meets
Page 6 SUMMIT APPLIANCE
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 o n 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.
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
The refrigerator is delivered to you with the door opening on the
left side. If you find this direction of opening inconvenient, you can
change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared
in the factory. The numbers in parentheses in the steps below
refer to the called-out numbers in the illustrations on the next
page. Figure 1 represents the position of components prior to
door reversal, and Figure 2 shows their position after reversal.
NOTE: All parts removed during the door reversal must be saved
for the reinstallation of the door.
1. Take off the upper hinge cover from the door and remove the
screws (1) that hold the top hinge (5).
2. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in
the top of the door.
3. Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from the
hinge pin (7).
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Page 7
4. Remove the screws (3, 6) holding the bottom hinge (2).
5. Remove the decorative plug (8) from the opposite side and plug
the holes on the original side with the decorative plug.
6. Unscrew the remaining leveling leg (4) a nd screw it back on the
other side.
7. Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the
screws. Use any lock washers or nuts if they were part of the
original installation.
8. Replace the door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place
the top hinge pin into the door. Insert screws into the top hinge
and tighten. Replace hinge cover.
If you notice the door is not hanging straight, loosen the top hinge,
adjust the door until it is level and retighten the screws.
Operation
The SCR485L 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.

SET SET °C/°F POWER
The three LEDs on the left side of the control panel indicate the
temperature range inside the cabinet:
Red light: 55°F – 64°F (13°C – 18°C)
White light: 45°F – 54°F (7°C – 12°C)
Yellow light: 34°F – 43°F (1°C – 6°C)
The Light Switch allows you to turn on the interior light with a push
of the button. Push the Switch again to turn off the light; otherwise
it will go out by itself in five minutes.
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 changes the display back and forth between the
Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales.
The Power ON/OFF switch turns the appliance on and off.

AUTO-DEFROST OPERATION
This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the operation of the compressor, ice will build up along the cold rear wall
(the evaporator plate is behind the wall). 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 rear wall, try setting
the temperature slightly higher. Also, be sure that the door gasket
is sealing well.
SHELVES
The refrigerator has three removable, easily adjusted, chromeplated wire shelves. To take out a shelf, first remove its contents,
then simply grasp it firmly and pull straight 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 parts.
6. Plug in your appliance or reconnect power.
Page 10 SUMMIT APPLIANCE
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.

Your refrigerator will not operate:
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped, or
is the outlet not receiving power or is it switch-controlled?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Check the outlet
with a small appliance you know works.
The motor seems to run too much:
Is there excessive frost or an item preventing the door
from closing?
Defrost and clean the appliance, or move the item so the door
closes properly.
Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal
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?
® appliance. Parts can be ordered on-
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Page 11
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?
