USE AND CARE GUIDE
Please read before using this appliance and retain for future reference.

Before Putting Into Use
These instructions are important, and we request you read them before using this
refrigerator. They describe the appliance and the correct and safe way to use it. The
instructions were prepared for various models/types of refrigerators so you may find
descriptions of some accessories and functions that do not apply to yours.
•Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for
about 2 hours. This allows the lubricants to drain back into the compressor
and reduces the risk of malfunctions in the cooling system caused by
shipping.
•Clean the appliance thoroughly; especially the interior (See Maintenance
and Cleaning).
We Care About the Environment
•Our appliances are distributed in packaging made of environmental
friendly materials which can safely be recycled, disposed of or destroyed
with minimal environmental effects.
•Our instruction manuals are printed on recycled paper or chlorine free
bleached paper.
Tips for Energy Savings
•Try not to open the door or drawers too often, especially when the weather
is hot and humid. Once you open the door or drawer try to close it as soon
as possible.
•Periodically check that the appliance is sufficiently ventilated. Although
the back of the unit is sealed, the rear cover should have a small air gap
from the surface behind it. This will enhance cooling and save energy.
•Set the thermostat from a higher to lower setting whenever possible,
depending on how full the appliance is or what the ambient temperature is.
•Make sure the underside of the unit is kept clear of leaves, debris or
anything that can impede air flow.
•Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
•Periodically check that the refrigerator seals well and none of the contents
prevent the door or drawer from closing.

Placing and Installation
Choosing the Right Place
Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated place. Allowed ambient
temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the
rating plate of the appliance. This refrigerator is class N (outdoor or indoor use).
Class Ambient Temperature
SN (sub-normal) from + 56°F to + 90°F
N (normal)(outdoor) from + 45°F to + 100°F
ST (sub-tropical) from + 64°F to +100°F
T (tropical) from + 64°F to +120°F
The appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures but only for a
short period of time and the temperature should never be lower than 45°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.
Connection to Power Supply
Connect this appliance to a 3 prong power supply socket outlet (which has a
ground terminal). If you only have a two prong outlet have it replaced by a
qualified technician with an outlet that meets the local codes.
“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 from -15 to
10%. A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is built into every line cord. Do not
defeat or bypass this important safety feature.
The line cord supplied with this refrigerator is specially designed for outdoor
use. Use only a factory supplied replacement cord with a GFCI in the event the
cord becomes damaged.
You may purchase these cords from either our sales or service department at
718-893-3900 (sales) or 718-328-8700 (service).

Operation Control
The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located in the upper right
hand corner of your refrigerator.
The drawer refrigerator is controlled by the thermostat knob located at the right
side of the top drawer (it can be seen when the drawer is opened or removed).
Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward 7 and backwards.
Temperature Selection
•The settings of the temperature control are from 0 (off) to 7 (max).
Initially adjust the temperature control setting to 4 (norm), then adjust the
thermostat to colder or warmer (as needed).
•A higher setting on the knob (towards 7) means colder temperatures in all
compartments of the appliance. On the highest setting, parts of the
refrigerator may become extremely cold, especially in cooler or dry
weather. Use the higher thermostat setting only when required or
recommended.
•The coolness of the refrigerator depends on how often you open and close
the door or drawer.
•To turn the refrigerator off you must turn the thermostat to 0 (off).
Use
Storing Fresh Foods
•Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed to prevent
moisture and odors from mixing. Use in polyethylene bags or sheet,
aluminum foil, wax paper, covered containers or bottles.
•Never store any flammable, volatile or explosive substances.
•An unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is
wrong with the food or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Odors may
be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a
mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated
carbon filters or baking soda to clean the air or to neutralize odors.
•If you plan on taking a long trip make sure you remove all perishable food
before you leave to prevent any odors.
•The interior of the drawer refrigerator is stainless steel and some cleaners
are not suitable for stainless steel so read the label of any cleanser before
using. Do not use abrasive or mildly abrasive cleaners.
•Many stores sell special stainless steel cleaners which are recommended
for the exterior surfaces of these units.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is usually no need to defrost the refrigerator, because the ice deposited on
the inner back wall is automatically defrosted.
Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation; later on, when
the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drains through the
outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor
where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of the unit, check
that the drain trough is not clogged. Use a pipe cleaner or a piece of flexible wire.
During extremely hot and humid weather some ice may build up. If necessary,
remove contents of the refrigerator, turn the thermostat to 0 and allow defrosting.
A hair dryer may facilitate the process.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or
abrasive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.
•Clean the exterior with water and a mild detergent. You may use
stainless steel cleaners for cleaning the exterior of the appliance
•Remove the detachable drawers; clean them with water and a mild
liquid detergent. Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water, mix one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
•Attach the drawers once air dried.
•Every now and then wipe the rear wall and bottom of the refrigerator.
Use a soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner.
•Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you
add one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
Removal/Replacing of the Drawers on the SP6DSSTB
To remove the drawers from the refrigerator these directions need to be followed:
•Pull the drawer out towards you completely.
•On both sides of the drawer there are hinges.
•On each hinge there is a black lever.
•The left lever should be pulled up.
•The right lever should be pulled down.
•Both levers should be pulled at the same time while continuing to pull
out the drawer.
To reinstall the drawers on the appliance:
•Just simply line up the hinges on the drawer and the hinges on the
appliance and gently push the drawer in.
•Once lined up close the drawer completely then open again to make
sure the drawer is on track.

Noise
Modern refrigerators rely on energy efficient high speed compressors. Cooling is
accomplished through a system where the compressor cycles on and off
pressurizing the refrigerant. This system will produce certain noises which you
may not be used to. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it’s used and how old the appliance is.
•During the operation of the compressor, a liquid noise is heard and
when the compressor is not operating a refrigerant flow is heard. This
is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the
lifetime of the appliance.
•After starting the new appliance, the operation of the compressor and
the refrigerant flow may be noticeable this does not mean something is
wrong with the appliance. The noise will reduce gradually, over time
and will not affect the lifetime of the appliance.
•Many complaints of excessive noise are traced to improper placement
or leveling of the refrigerator. This noise is often a consequence of
poor installation. To avoid this 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 in a way that
vibrations can occur. And always make sure you check the accessories
in the interior of the appliance; they should be placed correctly in their
positions. Check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch
each other and rattle.
•Summit Outdoor refrigerators contains a rear fan which runs only
when the compressor is on, and some models have an internal air
circulation fan which runs continuously. A small fan hum (similar to a
computer fan) is normal.
Before Calling for Service:
•Check the plug, fuse and/or circuit breaker.
•Test the outlet with a lamp
•Make certain that the outlet used is not controlled by a wall switch.
This is more common in outdoor kitchens.
•Be sure the control is not set to 0(OFF).
•Check that the GFCI switch on the line cord is on. If necessary press
the reset button.
•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
our Customer Service department.
