INSTALLATION
To use the refrigerator-freezer with the most efficiency and safety, select a suitable
place to install it according to the following guidelines:
1. This appliance is designed for free-standing installation only and should not be
recessed or built in.
2. The appliance should be installed on a sturdy, level floor or counter. If the floor is
not quite level, adjust the front feet of the unit.
3. Allow at least 4 inches of clearance at each side of the refrigerator, at the top and
between the back and the wall behind.
4. Avoid any direct sunlight, heat or moisture.
5. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug and is grounded to minimize
electrical hazards. To make it effective, the refrigerator-freezer must be plugged
into a grounded electrical socket.
6. Do not use an extension cord.
Test Run
Before using the refrigerator-freezer, clean it and make a test run to see if it follows the
behavior described here. If not, check the electrical supply. If the cause of the trouble
cannot be located, contact your SUMMIT dealer.
1. Set the Temperature Control Knob at the
OFF
position and then plug the power
cord into an electrical outlet of 115 volts, 60Hz. The compressor should not run.
2. Set the Temperature Control Knob at the
MAX
position and let the refrigerator
operate for 20 minutes. The freezer compartment should get slightly frosted and
the compressor should run smoothly with no noise but a soft hum.
3. Then rotate the Temperature Control Knob counter-clockwise toward the
MIN
position. Before the pointer of the knob reaches
MIN
, the compressor should turn
off.

Your appliance is equipped with a special protective
thermostat control device. If the unit is turned off or
unplugged, YOU MUST ALLOW THREE (3) MINUTES
BEFORE RESTARTING OR REPLUGGING THE UNIT.
