This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words “DANGER” or “WARNING”.

Danger means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in severe personal injury or death.
Warning means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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:

danger

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding 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. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.
• 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 of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL

warning

• 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 44°F (7°C) and below 106°F (41°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, 60 Hz), 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 15 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.
• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.

LOCATION OF PARTS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free standing installation for indoor or outdoor use.
• CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For free standing installation, 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit and 4” at the top are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top, as well as 2” at the back. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
• NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F (7°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 44º and 90ºF (7º ‒ 32ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.

Notes:

• If the unit is unplugged, or power is lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
• When you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit after it has been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of the activation time. There should not be a problem once the unit has been running for a few hours.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit, on the upper portion of the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures.

• Temperature Control: Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures
  (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. At the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots of the interior of the appliance may even drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend the medium setting.

• Changes in the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance so keep this in mind when choosing the setting of the thermostat knob.

• In the STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light switch still operates).

• The temperature in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment also depend on how often you open the door.

• In all small refrigerators without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.

INTERIOR LIGHT
The unit is equipped with an interior light which can be turned ON or OFF by touching the rocker switch located near the thermostat dial.

DOOR LOCK
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the Owner’s Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the reverse operation, making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put it in a secure place for safekeeping.

SHELVES
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way open when pulling the glass shelves out of the rail compartment. When removing the shelf from the inner rails, make sure to remove all shelf contents first.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water).
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are located, or any electrical parts.
• Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door (or door frame), handle and cabinet exterior. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
  CAUTION:
  Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the 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

1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. 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.

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 before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• Unit shelves and storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your appliance. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, base size and wattage. You can purchase bulbs at www.summitapplianceparts.com.

1. Unplug the appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield. Most models do not require tools.
3. Replace the light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in the appliance or reconnect power.
