Frequently Asked Questions - CM420ESBL Summit

How do I adjust the temperature on my Summit CM420ESBL refrigerator?

Use the control dial inside. Settings range from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest) plus Off. First set to 4 and wait 24 hours before adjusting.

What should I do if the refrigerator doesn't work?

Check that the dial is not set to Off, that the unit is plugged in, and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How do I defrost the freezer compartment?

Remove food and ice cube tray, place the drip tray under the freezer, and set the dial to Off. Defrosting takes a few hours. Then clean the tray and interior.

Can I change the door swing direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Follow the instructions in the manual: remove the hinge cover, unscrew the hinges, reverse the door pin, and reassemble. Refer to the Door Swing Change section.

How do I clean the interior of the refrigerator?

Unplug the unit. Use a solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda in warm water, rinse with warm water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or ammonia.

Why is there moisture inside or outside?

This is normal in humid weather. Check that the doors are fully closed and the gaskets are clean. If doors are frequently opened, moisture can increase.

The refrigerator makes strange noises, is that normal?

Yes. Gurgling or bubbling comes from the circulation of the refrigerant. Clicking occurs when the thermostat turns on or off. These are normal sounds.

How do I use the Dispense-A-Can™ can dispenser?

Store cans by sliding them in from the top of the compartment. To take a can, grab it from the bottom. Each compartment holds up to 4 cans.

What should I do in case of a power outage?

Unplug the refrigerator during the outage. When power is restored, plug it back in. If the outage was long, check food and clean the interior.

The refrigerator doesn't close properly, what should I check?

Check that the unit is level using the adjustable legs. Make sure the door is properly aligned (see alignment section). Remove any obstructions such as containers or shelves sticking out.

User Manual

Model # CM420ES CM420ESBL

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:

1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
3) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built into an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
4) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
5) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
6) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
7) After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
8) Do not refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "... You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 40°F"
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
“...Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of their eating quality as you can.”
9) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.

10) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Installing Your Refrigerator

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.

Proper Air Circulation

• To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
  • The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:

Sides....3/4"(19mm) Top....2"(50mm) Back....2"(50mm)

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
- Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

Use of Extension Cords

- Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55° Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located at the bottom.
• If the refrigerator is not leveled, adjust the front leveling legs by turning counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator and clockwise to lower it.

Leveling Your Refrigerator

• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
• Levelings legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are raised.

Refrigerator Features and Uses General Features

Temperature Control Dial

The temperature control dial has settings from

• "1" to 7 plus "OFF".
• "1" is the warmest
• "7" is the coldest

Initially, set the temperature control dial to "4". After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust the temperature control dial to the setting that best suits your needs. Turning the temperature control dial 'OFF' stops the cooling cycle; however, it will not shut off power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

IMPORTANT: If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 4 minutes before restarting it or re-plugging it in.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT & USE OF THE ICE CUBE TRAYS

This compartment is designed for making ice cubes and for short-term food storage (a few days at most). This compartment is not cold enough to freeze foods safely for extended periods of time.

- If ice cube tray freezes to the floor, pour a little warm water around it to loosen it. Do not use boiling water, which can damage plastic parts, or sharp metal objects such as a knife or screwdriver, which can damage the cooling system tubing. Wash tray in lukewarm water only. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Interior Shelves

To remove or replace a full-width slide-out shelf: (see fig. #4)

1. Gently tilt the shelf up and slide forward until the shelf has been completely removed.
2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.

Defrosting Your Refrigerator

• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more on freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate more during the summer months.
• To defrost, remove the food and ice cube tray from the freezer section. Make sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and turn off the thermostat. Defrosting may take a few hours.
• While defrosting, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may also need to be emptied during the defrost process. Do not leave unattended. (see Fig. 7)
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the refrigerator.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Refrigerator Care and Cleaning

Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.

Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your refrigerator.

• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your refrigerator.

Door Gaskets:

• Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.

Power Interruptions

- Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled food in the refrigerator. Clean inside the refrigerator before reusing.

Vacation and moving Care

- For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator, move the temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the refrigerator and door gaskets according to "General cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air may circulate inside. When moving, always move the refrigerator vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
