or injury when using your refrigerator
-freezer, follow these basic precautions:

Read all instructions before using the refrigerator-freezer.

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.

Before Using Your Appliance

Remove the exterior and interior packing.

Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
•
1 Ice Cube Tray
•
2 Wire Refrigerator Shelves
•
1 Wire Freezer Shelf
•
1 Instruction Manual
•
Before connecting the refrigerator-freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system
from handling during transportation.

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 refrigerator-freezer.
•
Allow 2 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator-freezer, which allows the
proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
•
Locate the refrigerator-freezer 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 refrigerator-freezer in moist areas.
•
Plug the refrigerator-freezer 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.
