' Before you throw away old refrigerator or 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 craw! inside the refrigerator.
Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
y§ir* *9 Your Refrigerator
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be.sure you have all of the following parts;
• 1 Ice cube tray.
• 1 Ice cube container.
• 1 Egg case.
• Before connecting the refrigerator 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.
or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these
basic precautions:
Installation of Your Refrigerator
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
To level your refrigerator, adjust the legs at the front of the refrigerator.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the refrigerator 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 refrigerator not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
• Plug the refrigerator 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 freezer or refrigerator compartment.
Page 7
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.
The refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator 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.
Use of extension cords is not recommended.
This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
MIN
MED ^
MAX
WINTER
When ambient Temp, is below 15’C or 59 *F
When ambient Temp, is between 15-25*C or 59-77‘F
When ambient Temp. Is above 25*C or 77*F
if ambient temperature is below 10’C or 50’F
* Setting the Temperature Control
• To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient temperature or
purpose of use.
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “MAX”.
• The range of the temperature control is from position “MIN” the warmest to “WINTER” the coldest. After
24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of
“MED” should be correct for home or office refrigerator use.
‘‘Winter” Position: Select the ‘WINTER" Position when the temperature in the area where the
appliance is located is colder than 10°C or 50°F. This enables the freezer section to operate properly.
NOTE:
• if the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.
If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
* Use of the Ice Cube Trays
• For your ice requirements, fill approximately 3/4 of the tray after washing it.
• To release the ice cubes, hold the tray upside down and twist slightly at both ends until the pieces of
ice fail.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
You will never have to defrost your refrigerator as it is designed to do it automatically. The defrosted
water drains into the evaporator tray located in the backside. You should clean the tray at regular
intervals. To get to the evaporator tray, remove the screws holding the plastic back cover located in the
rear (bottom).
Page 9
* Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• Turn the temperature control to “MIN", unplug the refrigerator, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical
parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
• The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty.
I
----------------------------
WARNING: There are two holes (FF8Y) and five holes (FF12Y) near the temperature control knob.
The purpose of these holes is to let cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator
section. Inside these holes there is an inner piece of styrofoam material that enables the
temperature control box to operate properly. Please do not remove them under any
circumstances.

* CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
Before removing the light bulb, either unplug the refrigerator br disconnect the electricity leading into
the refrigerator at the main power supply. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal
injury.
Remove the light bulb cover by pushing up the bottom end of the plastic cover gently.
Unscrew the bulb.
Replace with a 15 watt-refrigerator bulb that is the same shape and size.
Replace the light bulb cover.
Page 10
* Vacation Time
• 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 ail food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave both doors
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
* Moving Your Refrigerator
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure the refrigerator stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside
of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
* Energy Saving Tips
* •
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
refrigerator or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator -
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 refrigerator.
• Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with coid air circulation, making the refrigerator 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.

* INSTRUCCIONES PARA LA CONECCION A TIERRA
Este aparato electrodoméstico debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de un cortocircuito eléctrico, la
conección a tierra reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico proporcionando un cable de escape para la
corriente eléctrica. Este aparato viene equipado con un cordón que posee un cable a tierra con un
enchufe de conección a tierra. Este enchufe debe estar conectado en un tomacorriente instalado
correctamente y conectado a tierra.
* ADVERTENCIA
El uso inadecuado del enchufe de conección a tierra puede resultar en un riesgo de choque eléctrico.
Consulte con un electricista si no comprende bien las instrucciones de conección a tierra o si existe
alguna duda sobre si el aparato está conectado a tierra correctamente.
* NO USE UN CORDON DE EXTENSION ELECTRICA
Use un tomacorriente de pared exclusivo. No conecte su refrigerador a cordones de prolongación
eléctrica o junto a cualquier otro electrodoméstico en el mismo tomacorriente de pared.
