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 s tandard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/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 “POWER ON INDICATOR” 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, let the unit 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" 1" the warmest to "6" the coldest. Adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be
appropriate for home or office freezer use.
NOTE:
?
Turning the temperature control to "OFF " position stops the cooling cycle.
?
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.
Defrosting Your Freezer
?
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½ inch thick.
?
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
?
Warning
?
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.
