IMPORTANT SAFEGUIDES

Before the refrigerator is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as

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 precautions,
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.

 Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or

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

 Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit

is disconnected.

 Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
 Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result

in electrical shock or death.

 Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

FOLLOW WARNING CALL OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL

 Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other

injury.

 To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be completely

unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F
(32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water
spray or drips.

 The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
 The refrigerator must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with

state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.

 Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of refrigerator.
 The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
 It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make

several adjustments to level it.

 All installation must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
 Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
 Check for leaks after connection.
 Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.
 If you use the drainage container, you must set the drain select switch to OFF or the water can

overflow from the drainage container

 Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch

of ice cubes must be discarded.

 Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may

damage or discolor the interior.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 Before Using Your Appliance

 Remove the exterior and interior packing.
 Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

 1 Ice Cube Tray
 1 Freezer Shelf (Wire)
 2 Refrigerator Shelves (Glass)
 1 Freezer Bin
 3 Refrigerator Bins (2 – Standard) / (1 – 2 Liter Bottle Capacity)
 1 Instruction Manual

 Before connecting the unit 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 Appliance

 Place your refrigerator-freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator-

freezer when it is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator-freezer, adjust the leveling legs at the
bottom of unit.

 Allow 2 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit, which allows the proper air

circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

 Locate the unit 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- freezer not
to perform properly.

 Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
 Plug the unit 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.

 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 unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit 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 unit requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. 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 unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.

The unit 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 helps prevent
overloading of house wiring circuits, which could result in a fire hazard. Never unplug the unit 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 unit, 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 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.

 Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance

This refrigerator-freezer has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit
is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening
direction, please call service for reversal instructions.
