To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions: ? ? ? ? Read all instructions before using the freezer. 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 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 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. -Save these instructions- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ? Before Using Your Freezer ? Remove the exterior and interior packing. ? Check to be sure you have all of the parts listed below: ? 3 Storage Baskets ? 2 lock keys ? 1 Instruction Manual ? 1 Plastic Scraper ? Before connecting the appliance 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 Freezer ? This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in. ? Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. ? 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 appliance 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 appliance 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 freezer compartment. ? 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 appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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 appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volts A.C.~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. The "POWER" light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power. The light indicates power supply, and will glow even if the temperature control dial is turned to "OFF", or the compressor has failed to work and the compartment is not being cooled. The "COMPRESSOR" light indicates that the compressor is on and running. The compressor should not, under normal conditions, be running continuously unless the unit is in "Fast Freeze" mode. OPERATING YOUR FREEZER ? Temperature Control ? Your freezer has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the lower right hand corner. ? The first time you turn the unit on, switch on the Fast Freeze switch and run for at least 2 hours before putting frozen foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in. ? Turn off the Fast Freeze switch. ? The range of the temperature control is from position" 1" the warmest to "6" the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of "4" should be correct for home or office freezer use. ? To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF". NOTE: ? Turning the temperature control to "OFF " position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the freezer. ? If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start. ? Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance. ? If you choose t change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one numerical o increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments. ? The Fast Freeze Switch ? The light glows while the Fast Freeze switch is in the `ON' position. ? The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate continuously, lowering the cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting. ? This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities. ? When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time. ? Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. ? It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using the Fast Freeze switch. ? Defrosting Your Freezer ? When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½ inch thick. ? Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low. ? How? CAUTION Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper provided with your unit. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
