IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a
WARNING
a
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 refrigerator-freezers 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 refrigerator.
• Never clean refrigerator 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 refrigerator. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
¾ 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 Full Wired Shelf
• 1 Half Wired Shelf
• 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.
¾ Installing Your Appliance
• This appliance is designed to be free standing installation only, and should not be recessed or
built-in.
• Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level
your unit, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the unit.
• Allow 5 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 unit 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.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before
placing food in the refrigerator and chiller compartments.
