IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
?
WARNING
?
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautions:
?
Read all instructions before using the unit.
?
DANGER or WARNING : Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
units are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”
?
Before you throw away your old unit: Take off the door. Leave the shelf in place so
that children may not easily climb inside.
?
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the Unit.
?
Never clean unit 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 freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
?
Before Using Your Unit
?
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
?
Check to be sure you have a ll of the following parts:
1 Shelf
1 Ice Cube Tray
2 keys
1 Plastic Scrapper
1 Water Drip Tray
1 Instruction Manual
?
Before connecting the unit 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.
?
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
?
Installation of Your Unit
?
Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To
level your unit, adjust the legs at the bottom of the 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 unit not to perform
properly.
?
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the interior surface requiring more frequent defrosting of the unit.
?
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.
