IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us. We have provided several important safety messages in this manual. Always read and obey all safety messages. Serious injury or even death can result if you do not follow these instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, how to reduce the chance of injury, and what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
If your electricity goes off, follow this procedure: • • • Call your power company to see how long the power will be out. If service is to be interrupted for less than 24 hours, keep the appliance closed as much as possible. This will help keep food from spoiling. If service is to be interrupted for more than 24 hours, remove food and store in a refrigerated food locker or other refrigerator. RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT ! Old appliances can represent a suffocation hazard to children.

INSTALLATION Before Using Your Refrigerator-Freezer • Remove the exterior and interior packing. • Check to be sure refrigerator and freezer shelves are installed and that • • the strips of tape holding them in place have been removed. Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for at least ½ hour. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. Clean the interior surfaces with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Test Run Before using the refrigerator-freezer, clean it and make a test run to see if the following steps can be completed. If not, check the electrical supply. If the cause of trouble cannot be located, contact your Summit dealer. 1. Set the Temperature Control Knob to the OFF position and then plug the AC cord into an electrical outlet of 115 volts, 60 Hz. The motor should not run. 2. Set the Temperature Control Knob at the MAX position and let the unit operate for 20 minutes.
3. Remove the middle hexagonal screws. The middle hinge and the refrigerator door can now be removed. 4. Remove the cover for the middle hinge holes and re-attach it symmetrically to the holes on the other side. 5. Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back for steps 6, 7 and 8. Use a pad or blanket to protect the floor and to avoid scratching the painted finish.
6. Remove the leveling legs by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the lower hexagonal-head screws, two on the hinge side and one near the front corner of the other side. 7. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other side of the cabinet with the screws removed in Step 6. (Do not tighten screws completely.) 8. Attach the left side leg and the leg spacer to the other side hole which was positioned symmetrically. 9.
OPERATION Temperature Control Refrigerator temperature can be regulated by adjusting the Temperature Control Knob. The closer to the MAX position the control knob is set by rotating it clockwise, the lower the refrigerator temperature becomes. Refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored and on the frequency with which the door is opened. Set the Temperature Control Knob at the MAX position only when ice cubes are needed in a hurry.
Wipe the exterior surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water and then dry with a soft cloth. A spray appliance cleaner may be used for the exterior only. Use only lukewarm soapy water to clean the door gaskets. Never use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline, benzene or the like for cleaning any part of the refrigerator. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts. Vacation Time • Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
