INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Refrigerator

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have ail of the following parts;

• 4 Adjustable shelves

• 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 3 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
consump'tion. 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 wail outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before

placing food in the refrigerator compartment.

Electrical Connection

'-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.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Setting the Temperature Control

• To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient

temperature or purpose of use.

• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “5"

• The range of the temperature control is from position" 1 " the warmest to "5" the coldest. After
24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The
setting of “3” should be correct for home or office refrigerator use.

NOTE:

If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not
start.

> Cleaning Your Refrigerator

• Turn the temperature control to "0". 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.

• The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty.

> 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 all 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 putside 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

refrigerators 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.
