Electrical Connection
This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this freezer is equipped
with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility
of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This freezer requires a standard 115/120Volt~60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
The light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power. The light indicates
power supply, and will glow even if the temperature control dial is turned to “OFF”, or the compressor
has failed to work and the compartment is not being cooled.
OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
•
Your freezer has one control for regulating the temperature. The
temperature control is located on the lower right hand corner.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, switch the thermostat to the
“MAX” setting and run for at least 2 hours before putting frozen
foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled
before food is put in.
•
The range of the temperature control is from position"MIN" the
warmest to "MAX" the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “MID” should be
appropriate for home or office freezer use.
•
To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
NOTE:
•
Turning the temperature control to "OFF " position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off
the power to the freezer.
•
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting
the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
•
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one numerical
increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Warning

damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.
