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.
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. ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE TURNING ON, TO ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT TO DRAIN. 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.
Location Requirements Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion or death. Location: 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.
Leveling your appliance (some models): 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.) 1. 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). 2. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
Appliance Care Defrosting: Refrigerator models listed in this manual defrost automatically. However, freezer models require manual defrosting. Before defrosting the unit, remove the contents of the freezer, then set the thermostat to OFF (the compressor will stop working). Leave the door open until ice and frost are completely melted. To speed up defrosting, you can place a container of warm water (about 125°F) into the cabinet.
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. Replacement LED bulbs are available from our parts department. 4. Replace the light shield. 5.
Temperature Selection & Monitoring Note: details may vary from image Digital Thermostat Temperature Parameters: MED2 all-refrigerators come with digital thermostats that are preset at 4ºC, with a range of 2º to 8ºC. VT65MLBIMED2 and VT65MLBIMED2ADA all-freezers are preset to -20º, with a range of -25º to -10ºC. All other MED2 all-freezers are preset to -18ºC, with a range of -20º to -10ºC.
Traceable Thermometer/Alarm Note: details may vary from image Every MED2 unit is equipped with a NIST calibrated 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. NOTE ABOUT CALIBRATION: All MED2 units ship with a two-year certificate of calibration in the alarm/thermometer box that comes inside your unit.
Thermometer/alarm instructions (cont’d): Function of Controls: MODE/RESET Key: Press ONCE to reset Max/Min temperature record. When the unit is sounding an alarm, press ONCE to turn off the beeping sound. HIGH/LOW Key: Press ONCE to display high alarm setting. Press TWICE to display low alarm setting. Press THREE TIMES to display current temperature reading. ºF/ºC Key: Press this button to change the temperature display scale from Fahrenheit (ºF) to Celsius (ºC).
Keypad Lock (optional on most models) Factory-set default password: The factory-set default password is 0123. If the default password is lost, press the key (located inside the battery box) for 30 seconds, then wait for the warning sound which signifies the factory-set default password has been restored. To set the password: While door is open, press the key (located inside the battery box) until it jingles, enter the 0123 password, then # within 10 seconds to confirm.

Troubleshooting Try these solutions first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. PROBLEM: The appliance is not operating. Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Has a fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. Is the thermostat incorrectly set? See How to Adjust the Temperature on page 9.
