The SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL is designed for free standing installation for indoor use.

Keep 4″ of space between the back and the sides of the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL unit and 11” at the top to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

Keep the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the unit in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance.

When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered with the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

If you must use an extension cord with the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

The settings cycle from 1 (coldest) to 5 (least cold) each time the SET key is pressed.

The error codes on the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL control panel correspond to specific errors as follows:

The following steps should be taken when cleaning the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL:

Dust accumulates behind and on the unit should be cleaned regularly to ensure cooling efficiency and energy consumption.

Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no accumulated debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.

The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid any odor buildup.

Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator.

Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the unit, using a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then rinse with clean water, and then wipe clean with a soft towel. After cleaning, open the door and let the unit dry naturally before turning the power back on.

For areas that are difficult to clean in (such as narrow gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag or brush, or when necessary, an auxiliary tool (such as a thin stick) to ensure no contaminant or bacterial accumulation in these areas.

Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.

Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent, and then wipe dry.

Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the surface and interior of the unit. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.

Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or potentially affect the electrical insulation.

The steps for cleaning the glass shelves of the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL are:

Step 1. Lift up the front of the glass shelf, and then pull the shelf out.

Step 2. Clean as needed.

Step 3. Reinstall the shelf by placing the rear of the shelf into position first. Then, carefully lower the front of the shelf into place.

The SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL uses an automatic defrosting function. Frost formed due to the change of season or temperature may also be manually removed by disconnecting the appliance from the power supply or by wiping with a dry towel.

In case of a power failure with the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL, even in warmer weather, foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours; during the power failure, limit the times the door is opened, and do not add more fresh food into the appliance.

Before the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL unit is moved, remove all of the items stored inside, fix the glass shelves, drawers, freezing chamber drawers, etc. with tape, and tighten the leveling feet. Then, close the doors and fix them with tape.

During moving, the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL shall not be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclination during movement shall be no more than 45°.

For short vacations with the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL, leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

For long vacations with the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL, if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn the unit off. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

If the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL unit stops working, check the following:

• Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contact.
• Check whether the voltage is too low.
• Check whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped.

If there is an odor inside the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL unit, do the following:

Tightly wrap food to prevent possible odor.

Check whether there is any rotten food. Clean the inside of the appliance.

The compressor on the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL might run too long because:

Long operation of the compressor is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is high.

It is not recommended to load a large amount of food in the appliance at one time. Cool food to room temperature before loading into the appliance.

The doors are opened too frequently.

If the light fails to turn on in the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL, check whether the appliance is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged.

The doors of the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL might not close properly because the door is blocked by food packages, or the appliance is not level.

If the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL produces a loud noise, check whether the floor is level and whether the appliance is placed stably. Check whether accessories are placed at proper locations.

To address a door seal that fails to be tight on the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL:

Remove foreign matters on the door seal.

Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (example: blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating).

The water pan on the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL may overflow because there is too much food in the chamber or the food stored contains too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.

The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to the entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.

Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing of the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL is normal.

When the housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperatures and the storage of too much food, it is recommended to provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.

Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.

Abnormal noises in the SUMMIT APPLIANCE FF102PL can be:

Buzz: The compressor may produce a buzzing noise during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.

Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce a creaking sound, which is normal.
