IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow
• Read all instructions before using the freezer.
DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezer are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
• Before you throw away your old freezer: 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 freezer.
• Never clean freezer 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 freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Freezer

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
2 Storage Baskets  1 Instruction Manual
Before connecting the freezer 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 Freezer

• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to suppor t the fr ee zer when it i s fully loaded .
• Allow 5 inches of spac e between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows th e proper air
circulation.
• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight a nd sources of heat (stove, heat er, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
• Plug the freezer 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 s ervice cen ter .
• After plugging the ap pliance into a wall outlet, a llow the unit to cool down for 2~3 hours before
placing food in the freezer 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-pron g plug whic h mates with standard three pron g wall ou tlets to m inimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under an y circumstances c ut or rem ove the third gro und prong f rom the power c ord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requir es a standard 115/ 120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit check ed by a qualified electr ician to make sur e the outlet is properl y grounded. When a s tandar d 2-prong wall o utlet is e ncounter ed, it is your respons ibility and ob ligation 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 shoul d always be plugged i nto its own individual electrical outlet whic h has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appl iance. This provides the best p erformance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appli ance b y pulling th e po wer cord. Alwa ys grip the plug f irm ly and pull st raight out fr om the receptacle. Repair or replace imm ediately all power cords that ha ve become fra yed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cor d that shows crack s or abrasion dam age along its length or at e ither 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 FREEZER

Temperature Control

• Your freezer has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located
on the lower right hand corner.
• The range of the temperature control is from position" OFF", “1” the warmest to "7" the coldest.
Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “5” should be appropriate for home or office freezer use.
• The first time you turn the unit on, turn the thermostat knob to “7”and run for at least 2 hours
before putting frozen foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
• To turn the freezer off, turn the thermostat knob to "OFF".

NOTE:

• If the unit is unp lugged, lost po wer, or turned of f; 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.
9
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.
CAUTION Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
• Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
• Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”.
• Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (red light out).
• During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
• Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
• Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
• Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
• Clean the interior of the freezer.
• Replace the plug on the inside floor.
• Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
• Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
• Turn the thermostat knob to “7”for a minimum of 2 hours.
• Return food to the freezer.

HELPFUL HINT:

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water ( not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed meltin g. If you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is v ery easy to dam age the freezer compar tment and void your warranty.

The Freezer Compartment

• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three months.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
• Place frozen food into the f reezer as quick ly as possible after purchas e. If there are on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
• The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.
• A storage basket is pro vided for the organ ization of odd-shaped items. T o reach other pac kages in the freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.

CARE AND MAIN TENANCE

Cleaning Your Freezer

• Upon installation of your new applianc e, it is recom mended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
• Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage basket.
• Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The
solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
• The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
• The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty.
• It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free
and running efficiently.

Vacation Time

• Remove all the food.
• Unplug the freezer.
• Clean the freezer.
• Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
• Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the applia nce w ill n ot b e us e d f or s evera l months, remove all f ood and un plu g
the power cord. Clean an d dry the interior thorough ly. To prevent odor and m old growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.

Moving Your Freezer

• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
• Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.

Energy Saving Tips

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before plac ing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap f oods prop erly, and wipe con tainers d ry bef ore placin g them in the f reezer. T his cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer storage bin s hould not be li ned with alum inum foil, wax paper, or p aper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer 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.
