INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
Before connecting the Refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
24 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 REFRIGERATOR
This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation or built-in (Minimum clearances:
¼” on each side, ½” at the back, and 1” on the top).
Place your Refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To
level your Refrigerator, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the Refrigerator.
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 unit not to perform
properly.
Avoid locating the unit 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautions:
8
INSTALLING THE LEVELING LEGS OR CASTERS.
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCESS
Four casters are included with your refrigerator. They are ideal for rolling the unit from place
to place outdoors. If a mobile installation is chosen, you must install the casters.
a) Tip the unit to the left as shown in the illustration (¾ foot clearance from the floor to the top of
the unit).
b) Remove the leveling legs, and screw in one of the casters with the foot brake in the front
screw hole and one of the casters without the foot brake in the back screw hole.
c) Tip the unit to the right and repeat the steps above.
d) The unit should be level at all times, if you need to fix the level, adjust the wheel height by
turning it counter-clockwise to increase the height and clockwise to reduce it.
e) Repeat the steps on all casters until the unit is fully level.

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.
Warning
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
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 should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either 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.

Protector contra variaciones de corriente eléctrica (Surge Protector).
La mayoría de electrodomésticos utilizan una series de paneles de control para operar. Estos
paneles son muy susceptibles a las variaciones de corriente eléctrica, las cuales causan que estos se
dañen o destruyen.
Si vive en un área o ciudad done hay muchas variaciones de corriente o apagones, se recomienda
que utilice un protector contra variaciones de corriente para todos los electrodomésticos y aparatos
eléctricos. El protector que elija debe bloquear una variación de electricidad alta para poder proteger
el electrodoméstico al cual está conectado. Por favor contáctese con un electricista licenciado en su
área si tuviera preguntas en referencia al tipo y tamaño de protector que necesita.
Daños debido a variaciones de electricidad no se consideran un defecto del fabricante y podrían
anular la garantía.

COMO MANEJAR SU REFRIGERADOR (MODELO OBC32SS)
Se recomienda que Ud coloque su refrigerador en un lugar donde la temperatura ambiental se
mantenga entre 50º - 100ºF (10º - 38ºC)..
Si la temperatura ambiental es mayor o menor que la temperatura recomendada, el funcionamiento
de la unidad podria ser afectado. Por ejemplo, si mantiene la unidad en condiciones de calor o frío
extremo, puede ocasionar que la temperatura interna fluctúe y que no se alcance el rango de 35º 50ºF (2º - 10ºC).
Su refrigerador ha sido diseñado con un rango de temperatura de 35º - 50ºF (2º - 10ºC).
IMPORTANTE: No enchufe el refrigerador hasta que hayan pasado 24 horas de instalar la unidad en
su lugar. No seguir este consejo podría dar como resultado que la unidad funcione
inadecuadamente.
El refrigerador tiene un botón giratorio de control de temperatura (termostato) dentro de la unidad que
está marcado con las configuraciones.
Con el fin de aumentar el enfriamiento. Adicionalmente, esta unidad emplea un calentador dentro del
gabinete y está diseñada para ser usada al aire libre.
