IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautions:
 Read all instructions before using the Refrigerator.
 DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
 Before you throw away your old Refrigerator: Take off the door. Leave the
shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
 Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
 Never clean appliance 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 appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
 Remove the exterior and interior packing.
 Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
 1 Bottom Shelf
 3
Flat Shelves
 4 Casters
 1 wrench for casters installation
 1 Hex key for reversible door operation (model OBC32SS only).
 1 Instruction Manual
 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.
