WARNING- This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities
of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does
not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care
must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance so that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may
damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
Avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark,
Disconnect from the power supply,
Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
Contact the Service Department for advice.
• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be
installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is
the danger of combustible gases building up.
• For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out
servicing or repairs to this appliance.
• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either
damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

supplies at the rear of the appliance.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutene (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of
the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility,
which is nevertheless flammable. During transportation and installation of the
appliance, ensure that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit are
damaged.
WARNING — Refrigerators contain refrigerant and gases in the insulation.
Refrigerant and gases must be disposed of professionally as they may cause
eye injuries or ignition. Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not
damaged prior to proper disposal.
It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to service
this appliance.

cooling system and save energy, it is
necessary to maintain good ventilation
around the appliance for the dissipation of
heat. For this reason, sufficient clear space
should be available around the refrigerator.
NOTE: It is recommended that there be
50mm of space from the back to the wall,
at least 100mm from its top, at least
50mm from its side to the wall, and a
clear space in front to allow the doors to
open 125°. As shown in the following

15
Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly (at least every
two months.)
WARNING!
The appliance must not be connected to
the power source during cleaning as there
is a danger of electrical shock! Before
cleaning, switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the outlet.
Exterior cleaning
Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft
cloth.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the surface
of the appliance. This helps ensure an
even distribution of moisture to the
surface.
Clean the doors, handles, and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Caution!
Do not use sharp objects as they are
likely to scratch the surface.
Do not use Thinner, Car detergent,
Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleaners, or
an organic solvent such as Benzene for
cleaning. They may damage the surface
of the appliance and may cause a fire.
Interior cleaning
You should regularly clean the appliance
interior. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator
freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda, and then rinse with warm water
using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe
completely dry before putting back the
shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all
surfaces and removable parts before
putting them back into place.
Although this appliance automatically
defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the
freezer compartment
’s interior walls if the
freezer door is opened frequently or kept
open too long. If the frost is too thick, make
sure the freezer is nearly empty and
proceed as follows:
1. Remove existing food and accessories
baskets, unplug the appliance from the
outlet, and leave the doors open. Ventilate
the room thoroughly to accelerate the
process.
2. When defrosting is complete, clean your
freezer as described above.
CAUTION!
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost
from the freezer compartment. Only after
16
the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back
into the mains socket.
Door seals cleaning
Be sure to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the
cabinet and tear when you open the door. Clean the seal with a mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
CAUTION! Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be
powered on.
Replacing the LED light:
WARNING!
Replacing the lightbulbs
The lightbulbs must not be replaced by the user. If the lightbulbs are damaged, contact the
customer helpline at (718) 893-3900 or visit our https://www.summitappliance.com/support
.
To replace the LED light, follow the steps below:
1. Unplug your appliance.
2. Remove the light cover by pushing it up and out.
3. Hold the LED cover with one hand and pull it with the other hand while pressing the
connector latch.
4. Replace the LED light and snap it correctly in place.
5. Reinstall the light cover.

Helpful tips
Energy saving tips:
We recommend that you follow the tips
below to save energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open
for long periods in order to conserve
energy. Ensure the appliance is away
from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight,
electric oven, or cooker, etc.)
Do not set the temperature colder
than necessary.
Don’t store warm food or evaporating
liquid in the appliance.
Place the appliance in a well-
ventilated, humidity-free, room. Please
refer to Installing your new appliance
chapter.
If the diagram shows the correct
combination for the drawers, crisper, and
shelves, do not adjust the combination as
this is designed to be the most energy-
efficient configuration.
Tips for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into the
refrigerator or freezer, the internal
temperature will increase resulting in the
compressor having to work harder and will
consume more energy.
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
Tips for refrigeration:
Meat (All Types): Wrap in polythene
food wrap and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Always follow
food storage times and expiration dates
suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
They should be covered and may be
placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
They should be stored in the special drawer
provided.
Butter and cheese:
Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic
film wrap.
Milk bottles:
Should have a lid and be stored in the door
racks.
Tips for freezing:
During the initial set-up or after a long
period without being used, let the
appliance run for at least 2 hours on the
higher settings before putting food in the
compartment.
Prepare food in small portions so it
can be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
the food which is already frozen to avoid a
rise in temperature of the latter.
Frozen products, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer compartment
may cause frost burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date
each frozen package in order to keep track
of the storage time.
Tips for the storage of frozen food:
Ensure that frozen food has been
stored correctly by the food retailer
Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not
exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.
Switching off your appliance:
If the appliance needs to be switched off for
an extended period, the following steps
should be taken to prevent mold on the
appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the electrical
outlet.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open
slightly to allow air to circulate.
18
To avoid the cross-contamination of food, observe the following instructions:
- Regularly clean surfaces that come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it does not
make contact with or drips onto other food.
