IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the chest freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as

described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the chest freezer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding pr o ng, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord

• Replace all panels before operating

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your chest freezer, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain

• Never clean chest freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet

• Unplug the chest freezer or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your chest freezer unless it is specifically recommended in this material. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Use two or more people to move and install the chest freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your chest freezer, the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55

F (130C) and below 900F (32 0C). This unit must be

installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or sunlight.

• The chest freezer should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

• The chest freezer must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the chest freezer.

• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.

• It is important for the chest freezer to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.

• All installation must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.

• Check for leaks after connection.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the chest freezer

discolor the interior.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Freezer

· Remove the exterior and interior packing.

· Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

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.

Installation of Your Freezer

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

Place your applianc e on a floor that is strong enough to sup port the appliance when it is full y

loaded.

· Allow 5 inches of space bet ween the back and s ides of the ap pliance , which allo ws the pr oper air

circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

· Locate the freezer a way from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).

Direct sunlight ma y affect the acrylic coat ing and heat sources ma y increase electric al consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.

· Avoid locating the ap pliance in mois t areas. Too much m oisture in the air will c ause frost to form

quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.

· 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 groundin g sho uld b e direc ted to ward a certif ied e lectrici an or an authori zed Avanti Products service center.

· After plugging the appli ance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down f or 2~3 hours before
