Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Freezer
Upon installation of your new freezer, it is recommended that it
be cleaned thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat to OFF, unplug the freezer, remove the
food and storage basket.
Wash the inside with a warm damp cloth containing a water
and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 ta-
blespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit
running efficiently.
The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild deter-
gent and warm water.
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty
or dirty.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is de-
frosted to help keep the unit odor-free and running efficiently.
Vacation Time
Remove all the food.
Unplug the freezer.
Clean the freezer.
Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of con-
densation, mold or odors.
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should
not be accessible to children's play.
Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations
of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several
months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean
and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if neces-
sary, or have the door removed.
SUMMIT APPLIANCE
SUMMIT APPLIANCE
If the unit is unplugged, loses 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.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the
appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the ther-
mostat knob by one numerical increment at a time. Allow sev-
eral hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjust-
ments.
The Power Indicator
As soon as the freezer is plugged in, the Power Indicator glows
red. It will remain in this condition as long as the unit is receiving
electrical input. Even if the thermostat is in the OFF position, an
illuminated POWER indicator lets you know that electricity is still
being supplied to the freezer.
The Compressor Indicator
When this indicator is glowing green, you know the compressor is
activated. Expect the Compressor Indicator to be lit steadily when
the freezer is first turned on, since the compressor must run al-
most continuously to bring the unit down to the desired tempera-
ture. Once that temperature is achieved, the compressor cycles
off and on to maintain that temperature, and the Indicator will turn
off and on accordingly. The Compressor Indicator will also be lit
whenever the Fast Freeze switch is turned on.
The Fast Freeze Switch
The Fast Freeze switch glows yellow when the switch is in the
ON position.
The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the com-
pressor operate continuously, lowering the cabinet tempera-
ture still further than the thermostat setting.
This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable
quantities.
When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh
food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time.
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the
freezer.
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using
the Fast Freeze switch.
