INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this appliance. It has been manufactured to the high standards set for all Summit products. We expect that it will successfully serve you for many years. A Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods at a temperature of -13°F (-25°C). The FS-60 is a front-opening freezer with open shelves and in-door storage. It offers a full 5.0 cubic feet of capacity.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions. Read all instructions before using the appliance If you bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.
PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION Choosing the Right Location Place the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated room with a sturdy floor. Allowable ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE These instructions describe the appliance and the correct and safe way to use it. The instructions were prepared for various types/models of freezers, therefore you may find in it descriptions of some accessories and functions that your appliance does not have. Tips for Saving Energy Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, try to close it as soon as possible.
When the knob is at the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off). However, the power supply is not interrupted. The temperature in the freezer also depends on how often you open and close the door. Storing Fresh Foods Foods to be stored in the freezer should be properly packed in plastic bags or wrap, aluminum foil or covered containers to prevent mixing odors and various degrees of moisture. Never store any inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.
Shelves If you want to remove a shelf, lift up the rear edge slightly and pull it out. Easily perishable foods should be stored at the back of the shelf, which is the coldest part. Lock (optional) The side mounted lock with a spring can be locked or unlocked by slightly pressing and turning the key at the same time.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Manual Defrosting of the All-Freezer When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 1/8” thick you should defrost and clean the freezer. First turn the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer and make sure the packages remain frozen. Place a suitable container under the freezer to collect the defrost water. Leave the freezer door open to accelerate defrosting.
TROUBLESHOOTING During the operation of your appliance, you can come across some problems often resulting from improper handling that can easily be eliminated. Appliance fails to operate after connecting to the power supply Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in the operating position). Compressor operates continuously The door was frequently opened or it was left open too long.
When the appliance is started, the operation of the compressor may be louder and this does not mean anything is wrong with the appliance. The noise will diminish gradually and will not affect the lifetime of the appliance. Sometimes loud and unusual noises occur which are not normal for the appliance. These noises are often a consequence of inadequate positioning. To avoid the noises, make sure the appliance is placed and leveled firmly on a solid base.
