This document serves as the owner's manual for Summit Commercial Wine Cellars, covering both X-Series and CH-Series models. The manual provides comprehensive information on the appliance's safety, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Summit Commercial Wine Cellars are designed for storing and cooling beverages, including wines and champagne. They are not intended for storing perishable food, medicine, or other medical products. These units are available in two main series: X-Series and CH-Series, each offering distinct shelving configurations. The X-Series models (SCR610BLX/CSS, SCR611GLOSX, SCR1401X/LH/CSS) feature fixed diamond shelving racks designed to store bottles horizontally. The CH-Series models (SCR610CH/CSS, SCR611GLOSCH, SCR1156CH/CSS, SCR1401/LH/CH/CSS) feature adjustable stainless steel shelves specifically designed for wider champagne and sparkling wine bottles, which can be positioned at an angle for display or horizontally for traditional storage.
The appliances are equipped with a digital control panel for temperature management, an ON/OFF power button, a light switch, and a digital display for temperature and controls. Some models (SCR1401* and SCR1401LH*) have the light switch on the upper panel and front grille, while others have it only on the front grille. The units include a security lock for safeguarding contents.
Important Technical Specifications
- Power Supply: Standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz, three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
- Circuit Breaker/Fuse: 15 amperes.
- Refrigerant: Isobutane (R600a), an environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant.
- Temperature Range: The temperature control range is from 38°F to 68°F (5°C to 18°C).
- Ambient Temperature: Recommended installation in areas with ambient temperatures between 72°F and 78°F (23°C to 26°C). Performance may be affected outside this range.
- Ventilation: For freestanding installation, 5 inches (127 mm) of space is suggested at the back and sides. For built-in installation, 2 to 3 mm (about 1/10") on each side and at the top, and 2 inches (51 mm) at the back are required for proper service access and ventilation. The front air vent must never be covered or blocked.
- Door Swing: Some models (SCR610BL* and SCR611GLOS*) have the capability to reverse the door swing from left to right.
- Lighting: Equipped with LED lighting that automatically illuminates when the door is opened and turns off when closed. An option to keep the light on even with a closed door is available via the light switch.
- Sabbath Mode: A feature that turns off displays, interior light, and audible alarms for religious observances, while normal cooling operations continue. It automatically turns off after 96 hours.
- Temperature Memory Function: In case of a power interruption, the unit remembers previous temperature settings and returns to them once power is restored.
- Temperature Alarm / Door Alarm: An audible alarm sounds if the storage temperature is too high or if the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds.
Usage Features
- Installation: Units are designed for either built-in or free-standing installation. Model SCR611GLOS is rated for outdoor use, while SCR1401, SCR1156, and SCR610 models are not.
- Leveling: Adjustable front leveling legs are provided to ensure the appliance works properly.
- Handle Installation: A stainless steel handle is included and can be installed by removing the door gasket, securing the handle with screws, and then replacing the gasket.
- Temperature Setting: Users can set the desired temperature using UP and DOWN symbols on the digital control panel. The display shows the original set temperature, which can be adjusted in 1°C/1°F increments.
- Temperature Display Units: The display can be switched between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) by pressing and holding the LIGHT key for 5 seconds (for SCR1401* & SCR1401LH* models). For SCR610BL*, SCR611GLOS* & SCR1156* models, technical support must be contacted to change the display units.
- Shelving:
- X-Series: Fixed diamond-shaped racks for horizontal bottle storage. Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles can be stored on side shelving, but flat center shelving is recommended only for Bordeaux bottles due to the risk of wider Burgundy bottles rolling.
- CH-Series: Adjustable stainless steel shelves with cantilevered clips for angled display or horizontal storage. Additional shelves can be ordered online.
- Door Lock: A lock and key combination is provided to secure the contents.
- Child Safety: Instructions are provided to prevent child entrapment, including removing doors and leaving shelves in place when discarding old refrigerators.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning:
- Disconnect power before cleaning.
- Remove all items and shelves.
- Wash interior and exterior surfaces with warm water and mild liquid detergent, then rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
- Use an approved stainless steel cleaning product for interior stainless steel surfaces; avoid steel wool or steel brushes.
- Exercise caution when cleaning near controls or electrical parts to avoid electrical shock.
- Defrosting: The units defrost automatically under normal operating conditions. Condensate collects in a drip tray and evaporates. Manual defrosting may be required if frost accumulates due to frequent door openings in high heat or humidity, and does not clear within 24 hours.
- Power Failure: Most power failures are short and should not significantly affect temperature if the door is kept closed. For longer outages, steps should be taken to protect contents.
- Vacations:
- Short vacations (less than three weeks): Leave the appliance operating.
- Long vacations (several months): Remove all items, turn off the appliance, clean and dry the interior, and leave the door slightly open to prevent odor and mold.
- Moving the Appliance:
- Remove contents.
- Securely tape down loose items (shelves).
- Turn up adjustable legs to prevent damage.
- Tape the door shut.
- Keep the appliance upright and protect its exterior during transportation.
- Energy-Saving Tips:
- Locate the appliance in the coolest area of the room, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and do not cover air vents.
- Minimize door opening time.
- Troubleshooting Guide: A detailed guide is provided to help users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the appliance not operating, not cooling sufficiently, temperature variations, frequent cycling, light not working, vibrations, door not closing properly, error codes, and alarms.
- One-Year Limited Warranty: Covers factory-specified parts and repair labor for defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the purchase date within the 48 contiguous United States. Outside this region, parts are warranted for one year. Plastic parts, shelves, and cabinets are warranted to commercial standards and not covered for handling damage.
- Five-Year Compressor Warranty: The compressor is covered for five years; replacement does not include labor.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover service calls for installation issues, user instruction, fuse/wiring/plumbing correction, light bulbs, broken shelves, consumable parts, damage from accidents/misuse/improper installation, units operated outside the US, unauthorized modifications, or removal/reinstallation from inaccessible locations.
