(Perfect set if purchased with the FF-6 all-refrigerator)  
All-Freezer  
 
Before Putting Into Use  
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for about 2  
hours, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due  
to transport handling.  
Clean the appliance thoroughly; especially the interior (See Cleaning and  
Maintenance).  
Instructions for Use  
These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and  
the correct and safe way to use it. The instructions were prepared for various  
types/models of refrigerators therefore you may find the descriptions of some  
accessories and functions that your appliance may not have.  
We Care for the Environment  
Our appliances are distributed in packaging made of environmental friendly  
material which could safely be recycled, disposed of or destroyed without any  
effects on the environment whatsoever.  
Our instruction manuals are printed either on recycled paper or chlorine free  
bleached paper.  
Tips for Energy Savings  
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.  
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated, for  
adequate air circulation behind the appliance.  
Set thermostat from higher to lower settings (depending on how loaded the  
appliance is, and what the ambient temperature is etc...).  
The coils on the rear of the refrigerator should be cleaned periodically so  
that it may be free of dust or any other impurities.  
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as  
soon as the layer is 1/8” thick.  
Always consider instructions stated, in sections “Positioning and Energy  
Saving Tips”, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.  
Do not place hot foods in the freezer.  
A cool dry place allows your freezer to operate more efficiently, so keep  
the freezer away from stoves and other heat sources.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Important  
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.  
The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See  
Connecting to the Power Supply).  
If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very  
likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.  
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing and  
cleaning it (only a qualified technician should repair it).  
Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.  
For the sake of environmental protection be careful not to damage the rear  
wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes when moving the  
refrigerator) or any part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance.  
Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.  
The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and oil,  
so when the appliance is damaged handle it with care and dispose of it in  
compliance with the environmental protection precautions. (See We Care  
for the Environment).  
Before throwing away your old refrigerator or freezer please remove the  
doors and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb  
inside.  
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment.  
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.  
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance  
When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. If the appliance has  
a lock, break it to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children getting  
locked inside the appliance).  
Instructions for Use  
 
Placing and Installation  
Choosing the Right Place  
Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient  
temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance (is stated on the  
rating plate of the appliance).  
Class  
SN (sub-normal)  
N (normal)  
ST (sub-tropical)  
T (tropical)  
Ambient Temperature  
from + 56°F to + 90°F  
from + 62°F to + 90°F  
from + 64°F to +100°F  
from + 64°F to +120°F  
The appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures but only for  
shorter period of time and the temperature should never be lower than 41°F.  
Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g. cooker, radiator, water  
heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight.  
Placing the Self-Standing Appliance  
It is important to make sure the appliance is leveled evenly to prevent falling.  
Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of the  
condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the  
wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose functions depending on the  
distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly  
and adjust them accordingly to the appliance.  
Connection to Power Supply  
Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet  
with a ground terminal (safety socket).  
“DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.”  
Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate.  
The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to  
current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage  
tolerance up to -15 to 10%.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Operation Control  
The appliance is controlled with the thermostat knob, placed on the front of  
the appliance in the upper right hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from  
stop position towards max and backwards.  
The controls contain a red and yellow control light and a thermostat knob.  
Temperature Selection  
When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is  
controlled by the thermostat. Higher settings on the knob mean colder  
temperatures in all compartments of the appliance. The temperature in the  
interior of the appliance may even drop below -25°F. Only use higher  
thermostat settings when required or recommended. The most suitable  
thermostat position is in the middle, between max and min.  
Changes of the ambient temperature affects the temperature in the interior  
of the appliance (choose the correct setting on the thermostat knob).  
When the knob is on the STOP position the appliance does not operate  
(the cooling system is switched off), yet the power supply is not  
interrupted (the light will still come on if you open the door).  
Temperature in the freezer also depends on how often you open and close  
the door.  
Never use a knife or any other metal objects to remove frost and/or ice.  
Doing so may severely damage the refrigeration system.  
Red Light Control  
The red light control is on when there is something wrong with the temperature in  
the freezer (see “Trouble Shooting Guide”).  
Yellow light Control  
The yellow light control is selected to freeze large amounts of fresh foods. The  
cooling system operates continuously.  
When the yellow light control is off the interior temperature is controlled by the  
thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off.  
The frequency of switching the cooling system on and off depends on the  
thermostat knob position (thermostat setting), how often you open the door and  
ambient temperature.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door  
If the direction of the door opening inconveniences you, it may be changed to the  
opposite side of the freezer were holes are already made (except on stainless steel  
towel bar models).  
Before changing the door the front side of the appliance must be slightly  
raised.  
If the screws are covered with caps take them off before undoing the  
screws.  
The lower hinge (2) can be removed by unscrewing the hinge and  
removing the nuts (8) from the appliance.  
Push the kick plate into its new position.  
Unscrew the upper hinge pin (1)  
Change the position of the pins (5) and the door bearings, (7) at the top  
and the bottom.  
Slip the door on the upper hinge pin (1).  
With the screws and nuts fix the lower hinge.  
Make sure the freezer is leveled so that it doesn’t fall.  
Unscrew the handle and place it on the opposite side of the appliance (it  
cannot be done with handles mounted horizontally).  
At last check the resting of the magnetic seals (the seal must not be  
creased and should seal well).  
Use  
Storing Fresh Foods  
Foods to be stored in the freezer should be properly packed as to prevent  
mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet,  
aluminum foil and covered containers).  
Never store any inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.  
Food should not touch the rear wall of the freezer.  
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange peel, acid in  
butter etc. can cause damages when in contact with plastic surfaces or  
gaskets for a long period of time.  
An unpleasant odor inside the freezer is a sign that something is wrong  
with the food or that your freezer needs cleaning. Odors may be  
eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the freezer with a mild  
solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon  
filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Manual Defrosting of the All-Freezer  
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 1/8” thick you should clean the  
freezer.  
First turn the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the  
power supply. Empty the compartment and make sure that the packages  
remain frozen.  
Place a suitable vessel under freezer to collect the defrost water. Leave the  
freezer door open to accelerate defrosting.  
Instructions for Use  
 
Cleaning the Appliance  
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or  
Aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.  
Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Varnished surfaces are  
cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example  
glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).  
The application of abrasive and especially aggressive cleaners, such as  
stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and  
coated parts.  
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and  
clean it with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in  
a washing machine.  
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you add  
one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.  
Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall. Use a soft non-  
metal brush or vacuum cleaner.  
After cleaning, connect the appliance to the power supply and reload the  
packages.  
Trouble-Shooting Guide  
During the service of your appliance, you can come across some troubles that in  
most cases result from improper handling of the appliance that can easily be  
eliminated.  
The 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).  
Continuous Operation of the Freezer System  
The door was frequently opened or it was left open too long.  
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be  
polluted or damaged).  
Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods.  
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and  
condenser (assures adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser).  
Instructions for Use  
 
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall  
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the  
drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured. In  
case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (1/8”), ice should be  
manually defrosted.  
Set the thermostat knob to the STOP position and leave the door open. Never use  
electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp  
objects. After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close  
the freezer door.  
The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following reasons:  
-
The door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated,  
or replace it if it is damaged).  
-
-
The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.  
The food stored in the freezer was warm.  
Noise  
The cooling in the freezer is enabled by the compressor, this produces noise.  
How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it’s used and how  
old the appliance is.  
During the operation of the compressor, a liquid noise is heard and when  
the compressor is not operating a refrigerant flow is heard. This is a  
normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the  
appliance.  
Sometimes unusual and strong noises occur which is rather unusual for the  
appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing. To  
avoid the noise make sure the appliance is placed and leveled firmly on a  
solid base. Make sure the appliance is not touching the wall or kitchen  
units standing next to it. And always make sure you check the accessories  
in the interior of the appliance; they should be placed correctly in their  
positions  
Before Calling for Service  
Check the plug and fuse.  
Test the outlet with a lamp  
Be sure the control is not set to OFF  
Read the manual, especially the items under the Use and Care sections.  
You may find the answer to your questions.  
If you don’t find the answer to your questions in this manual, find the  
unit model number (on the upper back of the refrigerator) and contact  
your Summit Appliance Dealer.
