Important  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
or injury when using your appliance,  
follow these basic precautions.  
Warning!  
Read all instructions before using the appliance  
If you bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock  
that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is  
broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves  
inside the appliance and suffocate.  
The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply.  
If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very  
likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.  
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing and  
cleaning it (only a qualified technician should repair it).  
Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.  
For the sake of environmental protection be careful not to damage the rear  
wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes when moving the  
refrigerator) or any part of the freezing system inside the appliance. Use  
only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.  
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment.  
Before throwing away your old freezer please remove the doors and leave  
the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.  
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.  
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance  
When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. If the appliance has  
a lock, break it to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children getting  
locked inside the appliance).  
Instructions for Use  
 
Placing and Installation  
Choosing the Right Place  
Place the appliance in a strong dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed  
ambient Temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated  
on the rating plate of the appliance.  
Class  
SN (sub-normal)  
N (normal)  
ST (sub-tropical)  
T (tropical)  
Ambient Temperature  
from + 56°F to + 90°F  
from + 62°F to + 90°F  
from + 64°F to +100°F  
from + 64°F to +120°F  
The appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures but only for  
shorter period of time and the temperature should never be lower than 41°F.  
Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g. cooker, radiator, water  
heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight.  
The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas  
cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this isn’t possible use  
an appropriate insulation. Behind the appliance there should be free space at least  
200 cm² wide. And above the appliance the high kitchen units should be at least  
five cm above the appliance in order to assure adequate ventilation of the  
condenser unit.  
Placing the Self-Standing Appliance  
It is important to make sure the appliance is leveled evenly to prevent falling.  
Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of the  
condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the  
wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose functions depending on the  
distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly  
and adjust them accordingly to the appliance.  
Connection to Power Supply  
Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet  
with a ground terminal (safety socket).  
“DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.”  
Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate.  
The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to  
current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage  
tolerance up to -15 to 10%.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Description of the Appliance  
Shelves  
If you want to remove the shelf slightly lift up the back part and pull it out.  
Quickly perishable foods should be stored on the back of the shelf which is the  
coldest part.  
Lock (optional)  
The side mounted lock with a spring can be locked or unlocked by slightly  
pressing the key turning it to the left or right at the same time.  
NOTE:  
The appliance can be equipped with various accessories, depending on the model  
of the appliance.  
Door handles are in various shapes, depending on the model.  
Various accessories (spice container, tube holder or additional shelves) can be  
bought in authorized centers.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Operation Control  
The appliance is controlled with the thermostat knob, placed in the right upper  
part inside the appliance.  
Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards.  
Temperature Selection  
When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is  
controlled by the thermostat. Higher settings on the knob mean colder  
temperatures in all compartments of the appliance. The temperature in the  
interior of the appliance may even drop below 32°F. Only use higher  
thermostat settings when required or recommended. The most suitable  
thermostat position is in the middle, between max and min.  
Changes of the ambient temperature affects the temperature in the interior  
of the appliance (choose the correct setting on the thermostat knob).  
When the knob is on the STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate  
(the cooling system is switched off), yet the power supply is not  
interrupted (the light will still come on if you open the door).  
Temperature in the refrigerator and in low temperature compartments also  
depend on how often you open and close the door.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Use  
Storing Fresh Foods  
Foods to be stored in the freezer should be properly packed as to prevent  
mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet,  
aluminum foil and covered containers).  
Never store any inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.  
Food should not touch the rear wall of the freezer.  
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange peel, acid in  
butter etc. can cause damages when in contact with plastic surfaces or  
gaskets for a long period of time.  
An unpleasant odor inside the freezer is a sign that something is wrong  
with the food or that your freezer needs cleaning. Odors may be  
eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the freezer with a mild  
solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon  
filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.

Instructions for Use  
 
Maintenance and Cleaning  
Manual Defrosting of the All-Freezer  
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 1/8” thick you should clean the  
freezer.  
First turn the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the  
power supply. Empty the compartment and make sure that the packages  
remain frozen.  
Place a suitable vessel under freezer to collect the defrost water. Leave the  
freezer door open to accelerate defrosting.  
Cleaning the Appliance  
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or  
Aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.  
Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Varnished surfaces are  
cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example  
glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).  
The application of abrasive and especially aggressive cleaners, such as  
stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and  
coated parts.  
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and  
clean it with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in  
a washing machine.  
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you add  
one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.  
Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall. Use a soft non-  
metal brush or vacuum cleaner.  
Do not forget to clean the defrost water receptacle above the refrigerators  
compressor (do not remove the receptacle). After cleaning, connect the  
appliance to the power supply and reload the packages.  
Clean the drain pan on the refrigerators compressor, but do not remove the  
drain pan.  
After Cleaning, connect the appliance into the power supply and reload the  
packages.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use  
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long period of time set the  
thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Then  
take out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly  
open.  
Trouble-Shooting Guide  
During the service of your appliance, you can come across some troubles that in  
most cases result from improper handling of the appliance that can easily be  
eliminated.  
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Power Supply  
Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is  
switched on (thermostat in the operating position).  
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System  
The door was frequently opened or it was left open too long.  
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be  
polluted or damaged).  
Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods.  
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and  
condenser (assures adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser).  
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall  
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the  
drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured. In  
case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (1/8”), ice should be  
manually defrosted.  
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open. Never use  
electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp  
objects. After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close  
the refrigerator door.  
The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following reasons:  
-
The door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated,  
or replace it if it is damaged).  
-
-
-
The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.  
The food stored in the refrigerator was warm.  
The food or dish is touching the inner back wall.  
Water is Leaking from the Refrigerator  
In case the discharged water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the  
channel, or water leaks from the refrigerator just clean the clogged opening with a  
plastic straw. Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See “Ice Formation on the  
Inner Back Wall”.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Noise  
Cooling in the freezing appliances is enabled by the compressor, this produces  
noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it’s used  
and how old the appliance is.  
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor may be  
louder and this does not mean something is wrong with the appliance. The  
noise will reduce gradually, this will not affect the lifetime of the  
appliance.  
Sometimes unusual and strong noises occur which is rather unusual for the  
appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing. To  
avoid the noise make sure the appliance is placed and leveled firmly on a  
solid base. Make sure the appliance is not touching the wall or kitchen  
units standing next to it. And always make sure you check the accessories  
in the interior of the appliance; they should be placed correctly in their  
positions.  
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE  
Check the plug and fuse.  
Test the outlet with a lamp  
Be sure the control is not set to OFF  
Read the manual, especially the items under the Use and Care sections.  
You may find the answer to your questions.  
If you don’t find the answer to your questions in this manual, find the  
unit model number (on the upper back of the refrigerator) and contact  
your Summit Appliance Dealer.
