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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
> Before Using Your Refrigerator
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• 1 Ice cube tray.
• 1 Drip tray.
• Instruction manual.
• Before connecting the refrigerator 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 Refrigerator
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully
loaded. To level your refrigerator, adjust the legs at the front of the refrigerator.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor.
• 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 refrigerator not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator 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.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing
food in the refrigerator compartment.
