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 refrigerator.
 DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the
garage a few days.”

 Before you throw away your old refrigerator: Take off the doors. Leave the

shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

 Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.
 Never clean refrigerator 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 refrigerator. 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 all of the following parts:

 2 Shelves
 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.

 Installing Your Unit

 This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
 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 leveling 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.
 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.

 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

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 appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

 EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at
least 10 amperes.

 SURGE PROTECTOR

Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very
susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges /
outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances
you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the
appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector
needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your
product warranty.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT

 Setting the Temperature Control

 Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature

control is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment.

 The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6”.
 The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the

temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3” should be
appropriate for home or office use.

 To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.

NOTE:

 Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the

power to the unit.

 If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before

restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
