Operation of Specific Models
All-Refrigerators: FF24LMED2, FF28LWHMED2, FF511LBIMED2, FF511LBI7MED2,
FF511LBIMED2ADA, FF511LBI7MED2ADA, FF7LBIMED2, FF7LBIMED2ADA,
FFAR10MED2, SCR600LBIMED2, SCR600LBIMED2ADA
These models are all-refrigerators (no freezer compartment) with automatic defrost. All
have cold plates on the rear wall, and the coldest spots in the refrigerator will be in the rear
and toward the bottom. All have interior fans to promote even cooling. In the rear bottom
above the step, there is a drain line to allow defrost water to exit the refrigerator. Keep this
drain line clear, or icing inside the refrigerator will occur. FF7, FF511L, FFAR10, and SCR
series models have lights that are not door-activated, and are controlled either by a rocker
switch on the top right or a light switch inside. The light inside these units will stay on until
switched off manually. While LED lighting will not generate heat, it is not recommended to
leave the light on for long periods of time.
NOTE: Models with BI in the model number are designed for built-in operation and need
very little clearance on the sides and above the units. All other models require at least 4
inches of airflow on the sides and above the units. All models, including built-in units,
operate best when 2 inches is provided between the rear wall and the back of the unit.
All-Freezers: FS24LMED2, FS24L7MED2, FS30LMED2, FS30L7MED2, FS407LBIMED2,
FS407LBI7MED2, FS407LBIMED2ADA, FS407LBI7MED2ADA, VT65MLBIMED2,
VT65MLBIMED2ADA, VT65MLBI7MED2, VT65MLBI7MED2ADA
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.
Before defrosting the unit, remove the contents of the freezer, then set the thermostat
to OFF (the compressor will stop working) and disconnect the power. 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. Soak up the melt water with
clean toweling or a sponge and be sure the interior is dry before turning the
thermostat back to its normal setting.
For built-in (BI) models and clearance information, see NOTE above.
