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

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

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

1 Instruction Manual

Plastic Scraper

1 Twist – Ice Tray

• Before connecting the appl iance to the power source, let it stan d upright for approxim ately 2

hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malf unction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

• In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in

chapter “Parts and Features”



Installation of

• Place your appliance on a f loor tha t is str ong enou gh to s upport the applia nce wh en it is f ull y

Your Appliance

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

air circulation to cool the compressor.

• Locate the appliance a way from direct sunlight an d sources of heat (stove, heat er, radiator,

etc.). Direct sunlight m ay affect the acrylic coa ting and heat sourc es may increase electrica l consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the app liance in moist areas. T oo much moisture in th e air will cause frost to

form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the appliance.

Page 9

 Electrical Connection

This appliance should be pr operly grounded for your saf et y. T he po wer cor d of th i s applianc e is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Plug the appliance into an ex clusiv e proper ly insta lled -ground ed wall o utlet. Do not und er an y circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. A ny questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products ser vice cen ter.

Use of extension cords is not recommended. This appliance requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong

ground. The cord should be sec ure d behind th e a pplianc e and not lef t expose d or d angli ng to prevent accidental injury.

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

 Temperature Control (MODEL VM165 – ONLY)

 Temperatu re Sele cto r (MODEL VM165 – ONLY)

• The temperature control is located on the front side of the cabinet.

• The first time you turn the unit on set th e tem perature control t o the “SUPER” position. ( you ma y

use a coin or flathead screwdriver.)

After 4 hours, move the control to the MAX setting.

• The range of the tem peratu re contro l is from position" MIN" th e warm est to “ SUPER” the coldest. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the tem perature control t o the setting that best s uits your needs. The setting of “NORM” should be correct for home or office freezer use.

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 freezer will not start.

 Defrosting Your Freezer

• When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the appliance compartment when the frost on the appliance walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick.

• A few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position MAX, so foods are well frozen.

• Disconnect the power supply.

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

• Leave the door open for a while so that you can easy scrape off the frost.

• Use a plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.

Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.

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 th e plastic scraper.

HELPFUL HINT

Defrosting usuall y takes a few hours. Leaving the door o pen will help speed the 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 v ery easy to damage the free zer compartment and void your warranty.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning Your Freezer

• Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recom mended that it be cleaned thoroughly.

• Turn the temperature control to "MIN", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage drawers.

• 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.

• 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 the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free

and running efficiently.

 Power Failure

Most power failures are c orrected within a few hours and should not affect the tem perature of your appliance if you m inim i ze the number of times the door is ope ned . If the po w er is go ing t o be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

 Vacation Time

During long absences, remove all the food; unplug your appliance, clean your appliance, and leave the door slightly open to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.

 Moving Your Appliance

• Remove all the food.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.

• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.

• Tape the doors shut.

• Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.

 Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance 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 appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the com pressor to run longer. Foo ds that fr eeze too slowl y may lose quali ty, or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods pro perly, and wipe containers dry before plac ing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.

• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance 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.

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot.

• Every so often check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated.

• Ice and frost layer increas e energy consumption, so clean t he appliance as soon as the la yer is

¼” thick.
