injury when using your freezer, follow these

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 s upport the appliance when it is full y

loaded.

· Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the

proper air circulation to cool the compr essor 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 c oating and heat sources m ay increase elec trical consum ption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.

· Avoid locating the ap pliance in moist 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 ground ing sho uld b e direc ted to ward a cer tified e lectric ia n or an aut horized 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 p lug which mates with st andard three prong wall outlets to m inimize the possibi lity 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 and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accid ental

injury. Never unplug the f reezer by p ulling the p ower cord. Always grip the plu g firml y and pull straig ht out fr om

the receptacle. Do not use an extens ion c ord with this freezer. If the power cor d is too s hort, ha ve 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 suppl y, and will glow even if the com pressor has f ailed 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.

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

Temperature Control

Your unit is designed to be used either as a freezer or a refrigerator. You can adjust the temperature

control to select the refrigerator or freezer function according to the purpose of use.

• Your unit has one control f or regulating the temperature. T he temperature control is located on the side of the unit at the lower left hand corner.

To use as a freezer, turn the temperature control clockwise to the position marked “4” in area marked

“FREEZER”, after 2 hours, adjust the control knob the position that best suits your needs.

• The range of the tem peratu re control for the freezer operatio n is from position "1" the warmest to "4" the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “2 or 3” should be correct for home or office freezer use.

• To turn the freezer off, unplug the unit.

To use as a refrigerator, you may set temperature accordingly by turning the dial clockwise from the

“OFF” position. The temperature control is marked “FRIDGE” with a scale showing minimum cooling to the maximum cooling position.

• The range of the tem perature control for the refrigerator operation is f rom the minim um position the warmest to th e maximum position th e coldest. Adjust the tem perature control to the se tting that best suits your needs. The setting in the mid-point should be correct for home or office freezer use.

NOTE:

• Turning the temperature c ontrol to "0FF " position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the freezer.

• If the unit is unplugged , lost power, or turn ed off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes bef ore 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.

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 plas tic scraper provided with your unit.

• Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

• Unplug the freezer.

• 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.

• 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 “4” for a

minimum of 2 hours.

• Return food to the freezer.

HELPFUL HINT:

Defrosting usually tak es a few hours. Le aving the door ope n 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 us e 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 tim e 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 qu ickly as poss ible after pur chase. 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 to def rost when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.

• Storage basket is pro vide d for the org an i zati on of odd-shaped items. T o r each other packages in the freezer, just slide the basket 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 key 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 c ompletely. Remove the key and place it in a secure place for safekeeping.

CARE AND MAINT ENANCE

Cleaning Your Freezer

• Upon installation of your new applianc e, it is recom mended that it be cleaned thoroughl y.

• 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 m ild deterg ent and war m water.

• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

• 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 unp lu g

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.
