• 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.
Installation of Your Appliance
• Place your refrigerator-freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator-
freezer when it is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator-freezer, adjust the leveling legs at the
bottom of 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 refrigerator- freezer 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
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. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug
the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least
10 amperes.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very
susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages;
it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The
surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is
connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact
a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your
product warranty.
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.

Freezing Fresh Foods
• Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account
hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the
frozen foods.
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods
manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on
the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze, it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it tight.
• The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss
and dehydration of foods.
• Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
• When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.
• It is most Important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
• If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of
frozen foods.
Cleaning Your Appliance
• Unplug the unit, and remove the food and baskets.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
11
Energy Saving Tips
• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts
down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items
as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance
This refrigerator-freezer has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit
is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening
direction, please call service for reversal instructions.

CUIDADO Y MANTENIMIENTO
Limpiando su electrodoméstico
• Desconecte el electrodoméstico y retire los alimentos.
• Lave el interior con agua tibia y un trapo suave remojado en una solución de Bicarbonato de Sodio.
La solución consiste en 2 cucharadas del referido compuesto químico y un litro de agua.
• Lave la canasta de almacenaje con un detergente suave.
• Las partes externas de su electrodoméstico deben ser limpiadas con un detergente suave y agua
tibia.
ADVERTENCIA
Asegúrese de desconectar el electrodoméstico de la corriente eléctrica. Si no lo hace, puede
ocasionar un choque eléctrico o herirse.
Si falla el suministro eléctrico
Usualmente la electricidad regresa en unas pocas horas sin afectar la temperatura de su
electrodoméstico, siempre que la puerta no se abra muy frecuentemente. Si le va a faltar electricidad
por un período de tiempo más largo, usted debe tomar los pasos apropiados para proteger sus
alimentos.
Si usted sale de vacaciones
Retire todos los alimentos si va a estar ausente por un período largo; desconecte y limpie su
electrodoméstico.
Deje la puerta del electrodoméstico ligeramente abierta para evitar la formación de mal olor y moho.
Como cambiar la dirección de apertura de la puerta
En caso de que necesite cambiar el lado de apertura de la puerta, por favor consulte al servicio
pos-venta de su localidad.
Para mover su electrodoméstico
• Retire los alimentos.
• Asegúrese de colocar cinta adhesiva a todo lo que se puede caer dentro de su
electrodoméstico.
• Retire las patas para prevenir que se dañen.
• Selle las puertas con cinta adhesiva.
• Asegúrese que el electrodoméstico se mantenga parado durante el traslado.
Consejos para ahorrar energía
• Su electrodoméstico debe estar ubicado en el área más fría de la habitación, alejado de
electrodomésticos que produzcan calor o conductos de aire caliente y lejos de los rayos
solares.
• Los alimentos calientes deben estar a temperatura ambiental antes de colocarlos en el
electrodoméstico. Si sobrecarga su electrodoméstico forzará al compresor a funcionar más
tiempo del normal. Los alimentos que se congelan lentamente pierden calidad y se malogran.
• Asegúrese de envolver adecuadamente los alimentos y de secar los empaques o
contenedores antes de colocarlos dentro del electrodoméstico. Colocarlos mojados ocasiona
escarcha en el electrodoméstico.
• La canasta de almacenaje de su electrodoméstico no debe ser forrada con papel aluminio,
papel de cera o papel toalla ya que esto interfiere con la circulación del aire frío restando
eficiencia a su electrodoméstico.
• Organice y coloque etiquetas en los envases de los alimentos con la finalidad de encontrar
rápidamente lo que usted está buscando. Retire la mayor cantidad posible de cosas que
necesita a la vez y cierre la puerta del electrodoméstico tan pronto le sea posible.
