IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
~
WARNING
~
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your refrigerator
-freezer, follow these basic precautions:
•
Read all instructions before using the refrigerator-freezer.
•
DANGER or WARNING : Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerator-freezers are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”
•
Before you throw away your old refrigerator-freezer: Take off the doors. Leave
the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator-freezer.
•
Never clean refrigerator-freezer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other refrigerator-freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Before Using Your Appliance

•
Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Ø
Installation of Your Appliance
•
Place your refrigerator-freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator-
freezer when it is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator-freezer, adjust the leveling legs at the
bottom of unit.
•
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
•
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the refrigerator- freezer not
to perform properly.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized Avanti Products service center.
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT IN A LOCATION WHERE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
WILL DROP BELOW 32 ºF OR RISE ABOVE 110 ºF. AMBIENT TEMPERATURES
OUTSIDE OF THIS RANGE WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR UNIT AND
WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER TEMPERATURES.
