INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
>
Before Using Your Refrigerator
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• 1 Ice cube tray.
• 1 Drip tray.
• Instruction manual.
• Before connecting the refrigerator 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 Refrigerator
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully
loaded. To level your refrigerator, adjust the legs at the front of the refrigerator.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the refrigerator 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 not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
• Plug the refrigerator 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.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing
food in the refrigerator compartment.

Electrical Connection
y
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.
This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator 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.
Use of extension cords is not recommended.
This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.

• The range of the temperature controi is from position “1” the warmest to “7” the coldest. After 24 to 48
hours, adjust the temperature controi to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4”
should be correct for home or office refrigerator use.

ice fall.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting Your Refrigerator
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to "OFP. Remove frozen or perishable foods. Insert drip tray below the freezer
compartment only for defrosting (as shown below). Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After
defrosting, empty water from drip tray and return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost
quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other
metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.

^ Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• Turn the temperature control to "OFF’, unplug the refrigerator, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about
2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
> Vacation Time
• Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
>
Moving Your Refrigerator
• Remove ail the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
•Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the refrigerator stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside
of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
>
Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
refrigerator or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator
forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
