INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
¾ Before Using Your Appliance
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
4 Removable drawer
1 Ice cube tray
1 Instruction Manual
• Before connecting the appliance 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 Your Freezer
• 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.
¾ Electrical Connection
• This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this freezer 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.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
• Never use a two-prong grounding adapter.
• Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced
with a 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
• This freezer requires a standard 115/120 volts a.c.~/60hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
• The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
¾ Reversing the Door Swing of Your Freezer
This freezer has the capability of either opening the door from 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 customer service for reversal instructions.
