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
0
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.

WARNING
• DANGER or W ARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances 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 appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard

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
placing food in the freezer compartment.

Warning
Electrical Connection
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 plu g which mates with st andard three prong wall outlets to m inimize the possibilit y of
electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This freezer requires a standard 115Volts~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secur ed behind the freezer an d not left exposed or dangling to prevent acc idental
injury.
Never unplug the f reezer by pul ling the po wer cord. Alwa ys grip the plu g firml y and pull straig ht out fr om
the receptacle.
Do not use an extens ion cor d with this freezer. If the power cor d is too s hort, have a qualified electrician
or service technician install an outlet near the freezer.
The “POWER” light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power. The light
indicates power supply, and will glow even if the temperature control dial is turned to “OFF”, or the
compressor has failed to work and the compartment is not being cooled.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not
use an extension cord with this unit. 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.
9
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 first time you turn th e unit on, turn the tem perature control knob in a clock wise direction to
the maximum setting "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.
• The range of the tem perature control is from position "1" the warm est to "7" the coldest. Adjust
the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be
correct for home or office freezer use.
• To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
NOTE:
• Turning the temperature c ontrol to "OFF" position stops the coo ling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the freezer.
• If the unit is unplugged , lost power, or turned off; 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.
10
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 the pla stic scraper provided with your unit.
• 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.
• During the defrost process, the ice melts into the cabinet.
• Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by screwing 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, The Power Supply light should be ON.
• Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
• Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
• Turn the temperature control knob in a clockwise direction to the maximum position “7” for a
minimum of 2 hours.
• Return food to the freezer.
HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually tak es a few hours. Le aving the door open will help speed t he process. Also ,
pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a
scraper- please use caution - it is ver y easy to damage the freezer com partment and void your
warranty.
The Freezer Compartment
• This compartment is designed for the long term s torage 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 i nto the fr eezer as quick ly as possible after purchas e. If there are instructions
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 t o defrost
when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.
• Storage baskets are provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages
in the freezer, just slide the baskets to one side, or lift it out.
Door Lock
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that
contains the User's Guide. I ns ert the k ey into the lock and turn it clockwise to unlock the door. T o lock
the door do the revers e o p er atio n making sure metal pin is en gag ed completely. Rem ove the key and
place it in a secure place for safekeeping.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Freezer
• Upon installation of your new applianc e, it is recom mended that it be cleaned thoroughl y.
• Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage baskets.
• 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 baskets 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 t he unit be cleaned each time it is def rosted to help keep the unit odor
free and running efficiently.
Vacation Time
• 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 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 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 placing 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 foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper 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.
