APPLIANCE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and
on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
You can be seriously injured or even killed if you don’t follow instructions.
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.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong, nor use a 3/2 adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Use care not to plug into outlets controlled by wall switches.
Disconnect power before servicing.
After servicing, replace all parts and panels before operating.
Use nonflammable cleaners.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
appliances.
Use two or more people to move and install appliance.
Drawer refrigerators are provided with anti-tip brackets. Always install
prior to use.
Proper Disposal of Your Old Appliance e
Old appliances can represent a suffocation hazard to children.
Remove doors from your old appliance.
Leave shelves in place.
If an old appliance contains refrigerants, it must be recycled by a licensed
service or disposal company.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard !
Use two or more people to move and install your appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
CAUTION: YOU MUST ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS
BEFORE TURNING ON, TO ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT TO
DRAIN. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT PERFORMANCE
AND THE LIFETIME OF THE UNIT.
1. Remove packaging materials.
2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the
appliance. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Rinse with warm water and dry.
3. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can
damage the surface of your appliance.
4. When Moving Your Appliance:
Your appliance is heavy. When moving the appliance for cleaning or
service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the appliance straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the appliance when trying
to move it, because floor damage can occur.
5. Clean Before Using:
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of
your appliance before using it. See cleaning instructions in Appliance
Care.
6. Some upright models have leveling legs. Level as necessary for best
operation.
7. If your appliance has casters, after moving into place, lock the brakes
on those casters supplied with brakes. Always unlock before moving
the appliance for cleaning.
Key Eject Lock (some models)
To lock or unlock the appliance, you must hold the key in the lock while
turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer or SUMMIT APPLIANCE for a
replacement. Always give the model and serial number of your appliance
when requesting a replacement key. Keys for most models can be
ordered online at www.summitappliance.com/support

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire,
explosion or death.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below
40°F (5°C). Do not place in direct sunlight.
Check the strength of the floor before installing your appliance. It should
hold the weight of a fully loaded appliance. Allow at least 1” (2.5 cm) of
airspace at the top and on both sides of the appliance and 1” (2.5 cm)
between the back of the appliance and the wall. If the appliance is going
to be placed against a wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the
door can open wider than its width.
Note: This appliance may be installed side by side with another
appliance or appliances. Allow for a 3” (7.5 cm) clearance at the top
and sides and a ¼” (0.64 cm) clearance between the appliances. IF
YOUR MODEL HAS THE LETTERS “BI” IN THE SUFFIX, IT IS
DESIGNED FOR BUILT-IN USE, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE
CLEARANCE EXCEPT IN THE BACK.
Electrical Shock Hazard !
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical
shock or death.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt (AC only) 60 Hz grounded electrical supply with a 15- or 20-
amp fuse or circuit breaker is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use outlets that cannot
be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Felix Storch, Inc.

1. Locate the two front leveling legs that may be taped among the packing
materials. In many models these legs are already mounted into the
underside of the appliance.
2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the appliance. The
back of the appliance rests on two fixed supports. (Built-in models also
have rear level legs that can provide more precise leveling).
3. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
Note: If your model is equipped with front rollers, the front legs should be
lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to ensure the appliance
does not roll forward when the door is opened.
4. Place a leveling tool on top of the appliance, first side to side, then front to
back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to
lower a corner.
5. Repeat Step 4 until appliance is level.
6. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 4.
7. If your appliance is equipped with casters, the two front casters have
brakes to prevent rolling. Keep brakes locked, and unlock for moving only.
Level your appliance (some upright models)
APPLIANCE USE
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in
the appliance. Do not block off any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow
will be prevented, and temperature and moisture problems may occur. Always
position contents to allow some airflow between shelves or baskets.
Allow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding contents. Allow
24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
Note: When the appliance is first started, the compressor will run constantly
until the appliance is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer),
depending on room temperature and the number of times the appliance
door is opened. After the appliance is cooled, the compressor will turn on
and off as needed to keep the appliance at the proper temperature.
For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this unit
be at least 30% full during use. If you are only using this unit to store
small loads, we recommend adding some water bottles or freezer packs
to ensure temperature stability.
The outside of your appliance may feel warm. This is normal. The appliance’s
design and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space
inside the appliance. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the
outside of the appliance feel warm. (In some models the condenser that gets
warm is just inside the side walls, making these walls warm to the touch.)
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
The more airflow provided around an appliance, the less energy it will use.
If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2".
Keep doors open a minimum of time, and shut securely.
Felix Storch, Inc.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (some models)
If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you
can change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared in the
factory.
For two-door units:
Take off the upper hinge cover from the top door and
remove the screws that hold the top hinge.
Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the
socket in the top of the door.
Lift the top door to free its bottom socket from the hinge
pin on the central hinge bracket.
Remove the screws to the central hinge to free its pin
from the top of the lower door.
Lift the door up and away from the bottom hinge
pin.
Remove the screws to the bottom hinge.
Remove the decorative caps from the opposite
side and install the bottom hinge. Plug the holes
from the original side with the decorative caps.
Replace door onto the pin on the bottom hinge,
then install the central hinge into lower door.
Insert screws into the central hinge and plug the
holes on the reverse side.
Replace the upper door onto the central hinge pin.
Insert screws into the top hinge and tighten.
For one-door units:
Take off the upper hinge cover from the door and
remove the screws that hold the top hinge.
Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from
the socket in the top of the door.
Lift the door up and away to free its bottom
socket from the hinge pin.
Remove the screws to the bottom hinge.
Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and plug the holes from the
original side with the decorative caps.
Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and
tighten the screws. Install any lock washers or nuts
if they were used in the original installation.
Replace door onto the hinge pin on the bottom
hinge. Place top hinge pin into door. Insert screws
into the top hinge and tighten.

APPLIANCE CARE
Cleaning a frost-free appliance
(including models beginning with SCFF, SCFR, SCUF, SCUR)
Use nonflammable cleaners.
Frost-free means that you do not have to defrost your appliance. Frost is
removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the
cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt the frost,
and the water then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill)
where it is evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove all contents.
3. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or
2 tbs (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated
detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on
plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage surfaces.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for the exterior finish.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners,
or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted metal
exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
6. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
7. Replace all containers.
Cleaning a cycle defrost or manual defrost appliance
Cycle defrost models utilize a system where ice builds up on the rear wall and
melts when the compressor is off. Manual defrost models continually build ice
on inner walls.
NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE REAR WALL.
IF NEEDED, USE A PLASTIC ICE-SCRAPER OR A HAIR DRYER.
Clean surfaces using the same instructions as for frost-free models.
For CSS Models (completely stainless steel), only use cleaners
especially made for stainless steel.
Felix Storch, Inc.

Base Grill (some models only)
To Remove and Replace the Base Grill:
1. Open the appliance door and remove the base grill by pulling down
and out from the top.
2. Replace the base grill by putting the clips in the openings in the
appliance panel. Push in until the base grill snaps into place.
Changing the Light Bulb (some models only)
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your appliance. Be sure to replace
the bulb with one of the same size, shape, base size and wattage.
You can purchase bulbs from www.summitappliance.com/support
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield. Most models do not require tools.
3. Replace the light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
Loss of Power
After the power is restored, unplug the appliance for 30 minutes to allow
the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time, keep the door
closed as much as possible.
Remember: A full appliance stays cold longer than a partially filled one.
Moving Care
1. Remove all containers.
2. Unplug the appliance.
3. Clean it thoroughly.
4. Tape the appliance shut and tape the electrical cord to the cabinet.
When you get to the new location, refer to the Installation Instructions and
Temperature Selection sections for information on installation and setting
the controls.

YOUR APPLIANCE MAY HAVE A MECHANICAL (DIAL) OR
DIGITAL THERMOSTAT. DIAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW.
DIGITAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON PAGE 10.
HOW TO ADJUST THE THERMOSTAT
Your appliance may be controlled with a thermostat knob located
inside the unit, towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob
clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward the higher numbers
for colder temperatures.
Temperature Controls
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower
temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. The
temperature inside a refrigerator may even drop below 32°F. Use
higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a medium
setting.
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior
of the appliance, so keep this in mind when choosing the setting of the
thermostat knob.
In STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling
system is switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted (the
light is on when you open the refrigerator door).
The temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment
also depend on how often you open the door.
In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, tempera-
tures are coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear.
Place contents accordingly.
For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this
unit be at least 30% full during use. If you are only using this unit to
store small loads, we recommend adding some water bottles or
freezer packs to ensure temperature stability.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
Felix Storch, Inc.
Page 9

Every unit is equipped with a Traceable Thermometer/
Alarm that simultaneously displays minimum, maximum
and current interior temperatures and provides a visual
and audible signal when the temperature inside the unit
falls outside the set temperature range.
The temperature sensor, or probe, is enclosed in a
glycol-filled bottle that you insert into the location to be
monitored, such as inside a refrigerator or freezer, once the unit has been
programmed. The thermometer/alarm itself can be attached to the door of
the unit with the magnet on the back, or it can be placed on a convenient
table or shelf.
Power to the Thermometer/Alarm is supplied with a lithium iron disulfide
battery with a 10-year shelf life. When it is inserted correctly, the unit will
beep and all segments of the LCD display will be temporarily activated.
(Note that alarm temperatures will have to be reset after replacing the
battery.)
The temperature display can be switched between Celsius (°C) and
Fahrenheit (°F) by sliding the °C/°F button located on the back of the unit.
If you find that it is necessary to change the temperature setting for your
digital-thermostat controlled appliance, please refer to the following
instructions. The front panel of the thermostat is illustrated here:
To see the SET POINT:
Push and immediately release the SET key. The display will show the SET
POINT value. Wait 5 seconds and the probe value will display again.
To change the SET POINT:
Push and hold the SET key for more than 3 seconds to change the set point
value. The value of the set point will be displayed, and the “snowflake” LED
will start blinking.
To change the SET value:
Push the UP or DOWN arrow to the desired setting. The new setting will be
memorized after 15 seconds, provided no other keys are pushed.
Note: The minimum and maximum range of your thermostat is preset
and locked by us, so it cannot easily be accidentally moved between
freezer and refrigerator temperatures. To reset this range lock, either
call us or find information on our website under Troubleshooting.

KEYPAD LOCK (Optional on most models)
Felix Storch, Inc.
Page 12

NOTE: Models with BI in the model number are designed for built-in operation and need only
minimal clearance on the sides and above the units. All other models require 4 inches of
airflow on the sides and above the units. All models operate best when 2 inches is
provided between the rear wall and the back of the unit.
FCL44, SCF401SS Series
These are manual defrost all-freezers. No internal fans are present, and ice will build up along
the cooling coils. Periodically defrost the ice (recommended when the ice level reaches a
thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch). NEVER USE A METAL INSTRUMENT as you can damage the
cooling coils, which will void your warranty and often cannot be repaired. To defrost,
disconnect from the power supply, empty the contents, provide a tray in the bottom to collect
water, and use a hairdryer or other source of warm air to melt the ice (or leave the door open
and the power off for 24 to 48 hours).
For built-in (BI) models and clearance information, see Note above.
SCFF Series / SCFR Series
These models are chest freezers or chest refrigerators, all completely frost-free with forced air
cooling. No defrosting is normally needed. For best operation, allow free airflow within the
interior (do not overfill). The thermostat is located on the bottom rear on the right side of the
unit. Large sizes may have lid-activated lights. The lights will generate some heat, so be
careful to close lids securely to deactivate.
SCUF18, SCUF20, SCUR18, SCUR20
The thermostat for these models is located on the exterior top of the units, and is always digital
(see Page 10 for instructions). All units are fully frost-free and normally never require
defrosting. If supplied with casters (standard), operate with at least two in the locked position,
and never move units with contents inside. If supplied with 6-inch legs (optional), the hex nut
on the bottom of the legs can be rotated to level the unit.
VT, VLT Low-Temperature Freezer Models
These models are all manual defrost, upright or chest type freezers. Keep door closed for best
operation, and follow defrosting instructions for FCL44, SCF401SS Series models above. The
thermostats for these models are always digital, so follow directions on Page 10. VERY LOW
TEMPERATURE FREEZERS CAN DAMAGE UNPROTECTED SKIN, SO ALWAYS WEAR
GLOVES WHEN OPENING FREEZERS, AND NEVER DISCARD THE WARNING LABELS
ON THE FRONT OF THE FREEZER! These freezers will operate best when adequate airflow
is provided on the top, sides and rear of the unit. The compressor on some models is fan-
cooled, so be sure not to block the air vents on the compressor housing. The refrigerant in low
temperature freezers is different from that used in household appliances, so never have
unqualified technicians attempt to repair these units. These units will operate best under some
load, so try to avoid operating empty or nearly empty. If needed, fill with ice-packs to at least
25% of the volume of the freezer.
CP171MED
This model has a separate refrigerator (top) section with automatic defrost, and a freezer
(lower) section with manual defrost, each with its own compressor and thermostat for totally
independent control. The thermostats are both located on the top, on the exterior of the unit,
and are more easily accessed with the refrigerator door opened. This unit has no internal fans.
Defrost as needed (see FCL44, SCF401SS Series above). For clearance information, see
Note at the top of this page.
OPERATION OF SPECIFIC MODELS

ABOUT THE FIXED SHELF
If you notice a problem with your appliance, try these solutions first to
avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
The appliance will not operate:
Has a fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Is the appliance defrosting (on some models)?
Recheck to see whether the unit is operating in 30 minutes. Frost-free models will
regularly run a defrost cycle.
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models):
Is the appliance defrosting?
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
Is it more humid than normal?
When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much:
Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door from closing?
Defrost and clean the appliance, or move the package so the door closes properly.
Is the room temperature warmer than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, the motor
will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
Has a large amount of contents just been added to the appliance?
Adding a large number of items warms the appliance. The motor normally will run longer to
cool the unit back down.
Is the door closed completely?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see The door will not close com-
pletely later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)?
This prevents heat transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser
coils.
Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?
If not, contact a qualified technician.
Felix Storch, Inc.
Page 14
TROUBLESHOOTING
In some units, the center shelf is fixed in place and cannot be removed.
This is because the glycol-filled bottle that contains the temperature
sensors for your alarm and thermometer is best stored in this location.
The center of your refrigerator or freezer will provide the most accurate
temperature readings. For proper temperature monitoring, keep the
bottles in place and do not remove this shelf.

Temperature is too warm:
Are the air vents blocked?
This prevents cold air movement. Move objects away from the air vents.
Is the door opened often?
Be aware that the appliance will warm up when this occurs. In order to keep the unit
cool, try to get everything you need out at one time. Keep contents organized so they
are easy to find and close the door as soon as the items are removed.
Has a large amount of contents just been added to the freezer?
Adding a large number of items warms the unit. It can take several hours for it to
return to normal temperature.
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open:
Are any packages blocking the door?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space.
Are the shelves or drawers out of position (on some models)?
Put the shelves and drawers back into their correct positions.
Note: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that the compressor on
your new appliance will operate longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency
motor.

INSTRUCTIONS d’INSTALLATION
Risque du poids excessif!
Utilisez deux ou plus personnes pour déplacer et installer
votre appareil. Défaut de le faire peut conduire aux blessures
de dos ou d'autres.
ATTENTION : Vous DEVEZ laisser l'appareil en position verticale pendant 24
heures avant de mettre-le en marche pour permettre au lubrifiant du
compresseur à drainer. Panne de le faire peut nuire le fonctionnement et
la longévité de l'unité.
1. Retirez les matériaux d'emballage.
2. Retirer le ruban adhésif et la colle des surfaces avant d'allumer
l'appareil. Frottez une petite quantité de savon à vaisselle liquide sur
l'adhésif avec vos doigts. Rincer à l'eau tiède et sécher.
3. Ne pas utiliser d'instruments tranchants, alcool à friction, de liquides
inflammables ou de nettoyants abrasifs pour enlever le ruban ou de la
colle. Ces produits peuvent endommager la surface de votre appareil.
4. Lorsque vous déplacez votre appareil :
Votre appareil est lourd. Lors du déplacement de l'appareil pour le
nettoyage ou le service, veiller à protéger le plancher. Toujours tirer
l'appareil tout droit lors du déplacement. Ne pas tortiller ou "marcher"
de l'appareil lorsque vous essayez de le déplacer, parce que les
dommages au sol peut se produire.
5. Nettoyer avant utilisation:
Après avoir enlevé tous les matériaux d'emballage, nettoyer l'intérieur
de votre appareil avant de l'utiliser. Voir les instructions de nettoyage
dans l’article Soins de votre appareil.
6. Certains modèles verticaux ont pieds de nivellement. Niveler comme
nécessaire au fonctionnement optimal.
7. Si votre appareil est équipé de roulettes, après avoir déménagé en
position, verrouiller les freins sur les roulettes fournies avec des
freins. Toujours déverrouiller avant de déplacer l'appareil pour le
nettoyage.
Verrouillage avec éjection de la clé (certains modèles)
Pour verrouiller ou déverrouiller l'appareil, vous devez détenir la clé dans
la serrure en tournant. La serrure est à ressort, de sorte que la clé ne
peut être laissée dans la serrure.
Si la clé est perdue, contactez votre revendeur ou SUMMIT APPLIANCE
pour un remplacement. Toujours donner le modèle et le numéro de série
de votre appareil lorsque vous demandez une clé de remplacement. Les
clés pour la plupart des modèles peuvent être commandées en ligne à
www.summitappliance.com/support

EXIGENCES de POSITIONNEMENT
Garder les matériaux et les vapeurs inflammables, tels que
l'essence, loin des appareils. Défaut de le faire peut
entraîner un incendie, une explosion ou la mort.
IMPORTANT: Ne pas installer l'appareil près d'un four, radiateur ou autre
source de chaleur, ni dans un endroit où la température sera
inférieure à 40 ° F (5 ° C). Ne placez pas en plein soleil.
Vérifiez la force du plancher avant d'installer votre appareil. Il doit
supporter le poids d'un appareil entièrement chargé. Prévoyez au moins
1 "(2,5 cm) de l'espace aérien au-dessus et sur les deux côtés de
l'appareil et de 1" (2,5 cm) entre l'arrière de l'appareil et le mur. Si
l'appareil va être placé contre un mur, laissez un espace supplémentaire
sur le côté de la charnière de sorte que la porte peut ouvrir plus large que
sa largeur.
Remarque: Cet appareil peut être installé aux côtés des autres
appareils. Prévoir un dégagement de 3 "(7,5 cm) au sommet et sur
les côtés et ¼" (0,64 cm) entre les appareils. SI VOTRE MODÈLE A
LES LETTRES « BI »PAR LE SUFFIXE, IL EST CONCU POUR
L’USAGE ENCASTRÉ ET N’EXIGER DE L’ESPACE DE
DÉGAGEMENT SAUF A L'ARRIERE.
Risque de choc électrique !
Brancher sur une prise à 3 broches mise à la terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche à terre.
Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiliser une rallonge.
Défaut de suivre ces instructions peut entraîner un incendie, un
choc électrique ou la mort.
Méthode de mise à la terre recommandée
Une alimentation électrique de 115 volts (CA seulement) 60 Hz mise à
terre avec un fusible ou disjoncteur de 15 ou 20 ampères est nécessaire.
Il est recommandé qu'un circuit distinct pour alimenter uniquement votre
appareil soit fourni. Utilisez prises de courant qui ne peuvent pas être
désactivées par un commutateur ou une chaîne de traction. Ne pas
utiliser une rallonge.

NIVELER votre APPAREIL (certains modèles verticaux)
1. Repérez les deux pieds de nivellement avant qui peuvent être trouvés
parmi les matériaux d'emballage. Dans de nombreux modèles ces jambes
sont déjà montées dans la face inférieure de l'appareil.
2. Visser ces pieds dans les trous avant sur le fond de l'appareil. L'arrière de
l'appareil repose sur deux supports fixes. (Les modèles encastrés ont
aussi des pieds de niveau à l'arrière qui peuvent fournir le nivellement
plus précis).
3. Réglez les pieds avant, juste assez pour soulever l'armoire du plancher.
Note: Si votre modèle est équipé de roulettes avant, les pieds avant
devraient être abaissés assez pour soulever les rouleaux du plancher
pour assurer que l'appareil ne roule pas vers l'avant lorsque la porte
est ouverte.
4. Placez un outil de nivellement sur le dessus de l'appareil, le premier côté
à l'autre, puis avant à l'arrière. Tourner le pied vers la gauche pour
soulever un coin. Tournez vers la droite pour abaisser un coin.
5. Répétez l'étape 4 jusqu'à ce que l'appareil est de niveau.
6. Après l'appareil est complètement chargé, vérifiez avec le niveau comme
à l'étape 4.
7. Si votre appareil est équipé de roulettes, les deux roulettes avant sont
équipées de freins pour éviter de roulement. Garder les freins bloqués, et
déverrouiller pour déplacer seulement.
UTILISATION de l'APPAREIL
Afin d'assurer la bonne température, vous avez besoin pour permettre une
ventilation adéquate dans l'appareil. Ne pas bloquer les orifices d'aération. Si
les évents sont bloqués, le flux d'air sera empêché, et les problèmes de
température et d'humidité peut se produire. Toujours positionner le contenu
de manière à permettre l'air de circuler entre les étagères ou des
paniersAllow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding
contents. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
Note: Lorsque l'appareil est mis sous tension pour la permière fois, le
compresseur fonctionne constamment, jusqu'à ce que l'appareil est
refroidi. Il peut falloir de 6 à 8 heures (ou plus), en fonction de la
température ambiante et du nombre de fois que la porte de l'appareil est
ouverte. Après l'appareil est refroidi, le compresseur se met en marche et
s'arrête comme requis, pour maintenir l'appareil à la bonne température.
Pour une performance optimale de la température, il est recommandé
que cette unité soit au moins 30% de la pleine pendant l'utilisation. Si
vous utilisez cet appareil uniquement pour stocker de petites charges,
nous recommandons d'ajouter quelques bouteilles d'eau ou des sacs
réfrigérants pour assurer la stabilité de la température.
L'extérieur de votre appareil peut être chaude. C'est normal. La conception et
la fonction principale de l'appareil est d'évacuer la chaleur du colis et l'espace
aérien à l'intérieur de l'appareil. La chaleur est transférée à l'air de la pièce,
ce qui rend l'extérieur de l'appareil se sentir au chaud. (Dans certains
modèles, le condensateur qui devient chaud est juste à l'intérieur des parois
latérales, faisant de ces murs chaud au toucher.)
