the garage a few days."

Take off the door. Leave the shelves in a place so that children may not
easily climb inside.

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 instruction Manual
• Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand
upright for approximately two hours. .This will reduce the possibility of
a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Cleaning the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
^ 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 certifted electrician or
an authorized Avanti Products service center.
