Operating Your Freezer; Temperature Control - Summit SCFM252W Owner's Manual

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord supplied.
This freezer requires a standard 115Volt / 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left
exposed or dangling.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle. Never handle the cord with wet hands.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
A green Power light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical
power. The light indicates that power is supplied, and will glow even if the temperature
control dial is turned to "0", or the compressor has failed to work and the compartment is
not being cooled.
A red Alarm light will also turn on when the unit is plugged in, and will stay on until the
temperature inside falls below -11°C (12.2°F). As a warning, it will turn on again if the
interior temperature rises above -11°C.

Temperature Control


Your freezer has a rotary switch for regulating
the temperature (see figure). This temperature
control (thermostat) is located on the outer
wall of the appliance.

The temperature is factory preset to provide
satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is
adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. To
adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
The range of the temperature control is from position "1" (least cold) to "7" (coldest).

Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting
"4" should be appropriate for most freezer uses.

To turn the freezer off, set the temperature control at "0".
NOTES:
 If the unit is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay,
the freezer will not start.

Adding large amounts of room-temperature food at one time will temporarily lower
the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
 If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the temperature control by
one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize
