This unit requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Have
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. To prevent accidental injury, the
cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the unit. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the
unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the equipment, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Electrical connection
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this equipment. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type equipment 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.
Reversing the Door
Unless ordered with option "LHD," your unit has shipped with a right hand self-closing door swing. If
you wish to reverse the door to open from the opposite direction, follow the steps listed below.

2. Remove the two hex head screws that connect the door hinges to the body on the bottom of the
unit
3. Remove the two flathead screws that connect the hinge assembly to the bottom of the door
4. Remove the white hinge from the square rod
5. Slide the door towards the bottom until it is free of the top hinge
6. Unscrew the top hinge pin from the unit and reinstall on the left side
7. Flip the door so the handle is now on the right side
8. Push the door onto the top hinge piece.
9. Reinstall the hinge assembly on the left side bottom of the door using the flathead screws
10. Push the white hinge onto the square rod at a position of 9 o'clock
11. Turn the white hinge clockwise until the holes line up with screws located on the bottom of the
unit
12. Replace the hex head screws and front leveling legs
NOTE: Once the door has been reversed, the Pharma-Vac or Med-Lab sticker will be upside down.
You can remove and reapply to the preferred position. If you would like a replacement
sticker, contact our parts department at parts@summitappliance.com.
