Exterior side walls or top of the wine cooler feel very hot to the touch.

Safety: Some warmth is normal, but excessive heat can indicate a problem. Unplug before cleaning coils.

• Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around sides, back, and top per Summit installation instructions.
• Clean condenser: Remove dust from rear coils and grille with a brush and vacuum.
• Check ambient temperature: Move the unit to a cooler location if room temperature exceeds the specified range.
• Monitor operation: If surfaces remain extremely hot and compressor runs constantly, have a technician check for sealed‑system issues.
