Summit FCL-44, Instruction Manual

2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL  
The temperature of the freezer is automatically controlled 
by the thermostat setting. The thermostat is preset at the 
factory for normal use.  
 
If you require a colder temperature within the freezer, turn 
the thermostat knob to a higher number (clockwise). 
 
If you require a warmer temperature within the freezer, 
turn the thermostat knob to a lower number (counter 
clockwise).  

3.  DEFROSTING  
For the most efficient operation of the freezer with the 
minimum electricity consumption, please keep the freezer 
clear of frost. The frost should be removed as often as 
possible using a plastic ice scraper. The resulting “snow” 
should be removed from the cabinet. This procedure will 
allow uninterrupted use of the freezer.  
 
If the layer of frost exceeds ¼ inch, we recommend that 
you completely defrost the freezer by following this 
procedure:  

A. Remove all products from the freezer 
B. Open the lid(s) and disconnect the plug.  
C. Remove as much frost as possible with a plastic ice 
scraper. 
D. Dry the interior entirely with soft cloth.  
E. Reconnect the plug before placing product back in.  

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SCRAPE OR PRY 
FROST AWAY WITH SHARP OBJECTS.  
4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
 
It is recommended that the freezer be cleaned occasionally.  
 
Freezer body – Clean with a dry cloth. If there are any 
stubborn stains use hot water, if necessary, with a mild 
detergent. Rinse well and dry.  
 
Inner walls – Defrost as recommended in the previous page. 
Clean with warm water. Do not use corrosive detergents. 
 
5. LONG TERM STORAGE 
 
If the freezer is to be kept idle for extended periods of time 
please follow the following procedure:  
 
A. Remove plug from outlet.  
B. Defrost and clean the freezer thoroughly.  
C.Leave lids in open position to avoid formations of 
condensation, mold or odors.
