INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
> Before Using Your Appliance
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• Ice cube Tray.
• instruction Manual.
• Before connecting the appliance 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 Appliance
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded.
To level your appliance, adjust the legs at the front of the appliance.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the appliance 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 appliance not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the appliance.
• Plug the appliance 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 freezer or refrigerator compartment.
