Installing your SUMMIT Auto Defrost All Refrigerator is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:
- Location is Key: Place the refrigerator on a sturdy, level surface that can handle its weight when full. Ensure good ventilation and protect it from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
- Leveling Matters: Use a wrench to adjust the front leveling legs until the refrigerator is perfectly level. This is crucial for optimal performance.
- Airflow Space: Allow at least 2 inches of space at the back for proper airflow. Avoid covering or blocking the bottom grill.
- Spacers if Applicable: If your model includes rear spacers, attach them to the condenser tube at the back. This maintains adequate clearance from the wall.
- Power Up Safely: Plug the refrigerator into a properly grounded 115V AC/60Hz electrical outlet that matches the appliance's voltage rating. Avoid using extension cords.
- Door Swing Adjustment (Optional): If you want the door to open from the other side, consult your manual for instructions on reversing the door swing. Note that this feature isn't available on all models.
- Handle Installation (If Needed): If your unit has a handle that requires installation, align it with the designated holes on your preferred side. Secure the handle with the provided screws and cover the screw heads with the handle seal.
After installation, you can adjust the temperature using the thermostat located inside the unit. Always refer to your SUMMIT Auto Defrost All Refrigerator's manual for detailed instructions on cleaning, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
