INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

NOTE: Allow the 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. 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.

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.

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.

• Some upright models have leveling legs. Level as necessary for best

operation.

• 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

Allow 4” (10 cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¼” (0.64 cm) clearance between appliances.

IF YOUR MODEL HAS THE LETTERS “BI” IN THE SUFFIX, IT IS DESIGNED FOR BUILT-IN USE

AND REQUIRES ONLY

MINIMAL

CLEARANCES EXCEPT AT THE BACK WHERE AT LEAST 2”

OF CLEARANCE SHOULD BE ALLOWED. ALL FF590, SCR610BL, AND ACF48W MODELS

ARE ALSO BUILT-IN CAPABLE.

CAUTION: Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the appliances.

Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Check the strength of the floor before installing your appliance. It should hold the weight of a fully

loaded appliance. Allow at least 4” (10 cm) of airspace at the top and on both sides of the appliance

and also 4” between the back of the appliance and the wall. If the appliance is going to be placed

next to a wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open wider than its width.
