APPLIANCE OPERATION (by Model)
BI605FF Series
These units are fully automatic defrost refrigerator-freezers. They utilize a digital thermostat with a built-in defrost-timer
(mounted in the kick-plate) to intermittently turn off the refrigeration system long enough for the freezer plate to melt
accumulated ice. The melted water is drained out of the appliance through the metal tray below the freezer compartment
to a plastic tray above the compressor where the water is evaporated. During the cooling cycles, it is normal to see a
small ice accumulation on the freezer floor. Be sure to keep the path for water removal clear and the metal tray properly
seated. The digital thermostat will display “DEF” during the defrost function.
The auto-defrost feature adds convenience, but it is not recommended for uses where critical medicine, pharmaceuticals
or vaccines need to be kept frozen. A manual or frost-free freezer compartment or a separate freezer is more suitable for
these applications. SUMMIT has a full range of such products.
To set the interior temperature, (it should be set only for the fresh food section) follow the instructions for digital
thermostats earlier in this manual. Model BI605FF does not include a vegetable crisper as a standard feature.
FS62BI Series
These freezers are manual defrost, commercial freezers capable of operating at -25°C (-13°F). Follow the defrosting
instructions found earlier in the booklet, being careful not to use sharp objects to scrape the ice. The cooling coils (part of
the sealed refrigeration system) run through each fixed shelf. The drawers are fully removable, and you can operate the
freezer without them if desired. However, the drawers contribute to energy efficiency and are best used whenever
possible. The thermostat is located on the exterior front of the unit in the face of the tabletop. In some cases, on models
with the CSS suffix or models modified for ADA applications, the thermostat is housed on the rear of the unit, near the top.
It is convenient to set it prior to installing (many customers will be satisfied with a warmer set-point, which is still colder
than many household freezers). Shelf positions in FS62BI models are fixed in position.
OUTDOOR REFRIGERATORS
(BRANDED SUMMIT OR OTHER BRANDS)
SPR7OS Series, SPR7OSBI series, SPR601OS Series, SCR600LOS Series and Drawer series
Models for outdoor use all contain the same internal defrost system as the FF7BI series on the prior pages. Your unit may
have a light controlled by a rocker switch, an automatic switch or no light. (Drawer units are not equipped with lights.)
Read directions earlier in this booklet, specifically on the use of GFCI outdoor cord, location requirements, tip-over
brackets for drawer units, drawer removal and replacement and safety. These refrigerators are not designed to operate
when exterior temperatures are below 45 degrees F. If you have seasons with temperatures routinely that low, these units
should be unplugged, cleaned and stored for the winter. Always leave the door slightly ajar during storage so odors will
not build up inside the units. Once a season, when foods are not present (prior to winter storage is ideal), the stainless
steel exterior of the units can be lightly coated with WD-40 to restore the luster and protect the finish. A vinyl cover for the
SPR7-OS series can be ordered from your dealer or at www.summitapplianceparts.com. Drawer refrigerators and
SPR7-OSBI models are suitable for under-counter or built-in applications. SPR7-OS models, and SCR600LOS series and
SPR601OS series are intended for free-standing use, and if put under a counter, provisions for adequate air flow must be
provided (minimum 1 inch on sides and top and 2 inches at the rear).
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF OUTDOOR REFRIGERATORS:
• KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT
• ALLOW ADEQUATE AIR CIRCULATION
• DO NOT USE WITH AN OUTLET OPERATING ON A SWITCH
• CHECK GFCI CORD REGULARLY
• MINIMIZE DOOR OPENING TIME
• ALLOW 24 HOURS TO COOL A FULL LOAD OF ROOM TEMPERATURE BEVERAGES
WARNING FOR OWNERS OF OUTDOOR APPLIANCES: Be aware that muriatic acid (used for cleaning masonry and in
pool care) will damage stainless steel surfaces.
