Important Safety Instructions

aWARNINGa

• Read all instructions before using the freezer.

• DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

• Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

freezers are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

• Before you throw away your 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 crawl inside the freezer.

• Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or

explosion.

• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Freezer

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

4 Baskets 1 Thermostat key 1 Plastic Scrapper 1 Instruction Manual

• 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.

¾ Installation of

• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

To level your freezer, adjust the legs at the front of the freezer.

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

circulation to cool the compressor.

• Locate the freezer 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 freezer not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form

quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.

• Plug the freezer 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.
