The two rear roller feet allow it to be moved easily when tilted slightly. Never use the door handle as a support. Never turn the unit upside down or place it horizontally. 1. Install the refrigerator on a flat, solid surface so as to minimize vibration and noise. 2. Allow for a free flow of air around the unit.
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Page 5 Operation Temperature Control 1. The temperature in the refrigerator is controlled by turning the thermostat knob installed on the interior right wall of the unit. 2. At the thermostat setting of ”0”, the compressor is stopped and no cooling takes place (although electricity still powers the unit). As the knob is turned from "1" up through “6”, the set temperature decreases, with "6" indicating the lowest possible temperature. 3. In normal use, the selector should be set to "3".
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Page 6 5. Do not set anything heavy on the top of refrigerator or allow water to be poured on it. 6. The refrigerator should be connected to an independent electrical socket and should be safely grounded. The voltage should be limited to the range of 97V to 127V, or the motor will be damaged. 7. If the unit loses electrical power, do not return power to the unit any sooner than 5 minutes after the power went off. Otherwise, the compressor could be damaged. 8.
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Page 7 Care and Maintenance Cleaning The refrigerator should be cleaned every other month. Before cleaning, the electric plug must be removed from the power supply. Wipe the inside and outside of the refrigerator with a wet soft cloth. If it's unusually dirty, clean with a soft cloth soaked with a solution of mild, non-abrasive detergent and clean water. Dry thoroughly. Remember to clear the defrost drain situated at the back just above the glass cover of the crisper.
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Page 8 Troubleshooting If your appliance is experiencing operating difficulties, check this list of problems and solutions first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. Appliance does not work at all. The power supply plug is not inserted in the wall socket or the plug and outlet are loose. Power may not be reaching the electric socket being used by the refrigerator. This can be checked by plugging a light or any other electric appliance into the socket.
Page 9 SUMMIT APPLIANCE The following are part of normal operation and should not be a cause for concern: 1. Refrigerant surging through the system produces a gentle sound like water running in pipes. 2. When the atmosphere is humid, the outer surface of the refrigerator may be covered with moisture which should simply be wiped away. 3. During summer operation, the compressor and the rear condenser may become hot enough to burn your hand.
