DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. 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. -Save these instructions- 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. ? 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. 8 ? Electrical Connection ?Warning? Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center. This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator 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. Use of extension cords is not recommended. This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. 9 OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR ? Setting the Temperature Control ? To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient temperature or purpose of use. ? The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to "cold." ? The range of the temperature control is from position "warm to cold." After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of "MID" should be correct for home or office refrigerator use. NOTE: ? If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start. ? ? ? ? Use of the Ice Cube Trays For your ice requirements, fill approximately ¾ of the tray after washing it. If you want to make ice cubes quick, set thermostat to "cold" position. To release the ice cubes, hold the tray upside down and twist slightly at both ends until the pieces of ice fall. ? The Chiller Compartment ? This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short term storage (3-4 days at most) of some commercially frozen foods. ? The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen. ? By design; this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or freeze items. ? A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be affected. ? The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ inch thick. CARE AND MAINTENANCE ? Defrosting Your Refrigerator Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the thermostat dial to "OFF" or "DEFROST" position. Remove frozen or perishable foods. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator. 10 11 ?
