Product Usage Instructions

Before using your Summerset 24 5.3C Outdoor Rated Refrigerator, please read the safety and installation instructions carefully. To ensure maximum performance and longevity of your refrigerator, follow these product usage instructions:

Place the refrigerator in a level position to ensure proper operation.
Clean the interior of the refrigerator before use using warm water and mild detergent. Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives as they may damage or discolor the interior.
Use the adjustable temperature control to set the desired temperature. The temperature range is 33°F to 45°F (0.5°C to 7.2°C).
Never use chloride to clean stainless steel as it can cause discoloration.
Do not overload the refrigerator. This can force the compressor to run longer, making the unit less efficient and reducing its lifespan.
Make sure the refrigerator is not in direct sunlight and that air vents are not covered to ensure proper air flow.
If the power goes out, minimize the number of times the door is opened to maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator. If the power is out for an extended period of time, take steps to protect the contents.
If you plan to be away from home for an extended period of time, remove all items from the refrigerator, turn it off, and clean and dry the interior thoroughly. Leave the door open slightly to prevent odor and mold growth.
When moving your appliance, transport it in an upright position and protect the outside with a blanket or similar item.
Never allow children to operate or crawl inside the refrigerator. Keep fingers away from pinch point areas.
Refer to the product manual for additional safety and installation instructions and always comply with local plumbing code requirements.

SAFET Y AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet, do not remove prong, do not use an adapter and do not use an extension cord.
Replace all panels before operating
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Do not store or use gasolines or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part or your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING ! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a few days.”

CAUTION!

Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discolorations of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
NEVER USE CHLORIDE TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL.

POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.

VACATION TIME
Short Vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

Remove all items.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from heat producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry when placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build up in side the unit.
Unit door should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
Organized and labeled stored items reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

WARNING!
FOLLOW WARNING CALL OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL

Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and below 109.4°F (43°C).
The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60HZ), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 1.3 amperes.
It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.
Use this appliance only for its intended purposes as described in this instruction manual.
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing door when children are in the area.

BEFORE OPERATING

SHIPMENT ARRIVING DAMAGED:

VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on the bill of freight or express receipt and signed by the person making the delivery. File claim for damages immediately, regardless of the extent of damage.

CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the refrigerator is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a concealed damage claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the delivery date. Be sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from construction zones. Construction debris such as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust could damage or permanently discolor stainless steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning products away from stainless steel at all times.

**WARNING!

ELECTRICAL PARTS AND COMPONENTS
Disconnect all power supplies and batteries before servicing.

INTERIOR LIGHT
This unit is equipped with an interior LED light which will be turned ON when the door is open and the interior fan is stopped at the same time. You can press to manually turn on or tun off the light.

DEFROSTING
The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions. The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensation collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray by the compressor where it evaporates.
However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
Press and hold for 6 seconds, the unit will be defrosted.
To stop defrost, please repeat the same interaction.

TEMPERATURE ALARM
An audible alarm sounds if the storage temperature is not cold enough. The temperature display flashes at the same time.
The cause of the temperature being too high may be:

Warm fresh food placed inside.
Too much warm ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing stored items.
Power failure for some time.
The appliance is faulty.

The audible alarm is automatically silenced and the temperature display stops flashing when the temperature is sufficiently cold again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations.
Exterior cleaning for your stainless steel model

Your stainless steel model may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require cleaning on a weekly basis.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.
DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (This includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).
If any surface discolor or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abbrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high quality, all in one stainless cleaner/polish to prevent further problems.
USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME BLURRED.
Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to remove.
