INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 Before Using Your Appliance

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

• 2 Refrigerator Shelves

• 2 Vegetable Crispers

• 1 Glass Crisper Cover

• 2 Freezer Bins

• 1 Instruction Manual

• 1 piece of door stopper for the reversal of door opening

• 2 pieces of hole cover for middle hinge

• 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.

 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.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

 Temperature Control Panels

Refrigerator Temperature Control Freezer Control

 Setting the Temperature Control

• Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located

on the top of the refrigerator compartment. As well as a control knob in the freezer to balance the

cold air distribution between the two compartments.

• The temperature control knob in the refrigerator compartment will control the actual cooling cycle

whereas the control knob in the freezer compartment will adjust the distribution of the cold air

between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.

• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “MAX” in the freezer

compartment and “5” in the refrigerator compartment and run for at least 4 hours before placing

foods inside. This will ensure the freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled and the refrigerator

compartment will be stabilized before food is placed. Then return selector to “Recommended”

position in the freezer compartment and “3” in the refrigerator compartment.

• Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “3” in the

refrigerator compartment and “Recommended” in the freezer compartment will distribute the cold

air equally between both compartments which should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator

use.

• If you at any time want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the freezer for example is a large

amount of food has been added to the freezer, simply move the controller to the “MAX” position until

the desired temperature has been attained then return the controller to the “Recommended”

position.

• If you at any time want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the refrigerator section, for

example to quickly cook down if a large amount of fresh food has been added, simply move the

controller in the freezer to the “MIN” position until the desired temperature has been attained and

then return the controller to the “Recommended” position.

NOTE:

• IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, HAS LOST POWER, OR IS TURNED OFF, YOU MUST WAIT 3

TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE UNIT. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART BEFORE

THIS TIME DELAY, THE REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER WILL NOT START.

NOTE:

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE INSTALLATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

WHERE THE TEMPERATURE WILL DROP BELOW 50ºF (13ºC) OR RISE ABOVE

110ºF (43ºC). THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER

TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR.

1 is COLD

3 is NORMAL

5 is COLDEST

MIN is COLD

Recommended is NORMAL

MAX is COLDEST

FOR INSTALLATIONS WHERE THE TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BELOW 50º

SET THE FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL TO THE “COLDEST” SETTING.

THIS WILL IMPROVE THE OPERATIONS OF THE REFRIGERATOR UNDER

THESE CONDITIONS.

 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 extremely 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

 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.

 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.

• Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.

• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION

Failure to unplug the refrigerator-freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

 Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your

refrigerator-freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be

off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

 Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the

power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door

open slightly: blocking it open if necessary

 Moving Your Appliance

• Remove all the food.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.

• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.

• Tape the door shut.

• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.

 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 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.

 Replacing Your Light Bulb

NOTE:

All parts removed must be saved to do the replacement of the light bulb.

Before removing the light bulb, either turn off the appliance or disconnect the electricity leading into

the appliance at the main power supply. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal

injury.

• Unplug the AC power cord from the wall.

• Pull down to remove the lamp cover.

• Unscrew the bulb.

• Replace with a 15-watt bulb that is the same shape and size.

compartimiento del congelador y a la posición “5” en el refrigerador, por 4 horas.

Después muévalo a la posición “Recommended” en el compartimiento del congelador y a la posición

“3” en el compartimiento del refrigerador.

Las posiciones en ambos controles funcionan de la siguiente manera:

En el compartimiento del refrigerador,

La posición “1” Menos Frío/ La posición “5” más Frío

En el compartimiento del congelador,

La posición “MIN” Menos Frío/ La posición “MAX” más Frío

Una vez transcurrida 4 horas, Usted deber reajustar los controles en ambos compartimientos a las

temperaturas apropiadas a sus necesidades.

NOTA:

NO RECOMENDAMOS la instalación de la unidad donde la temperatura descienda de los 50 °F

(13ºC) o aumentar sobre 110ºF (43ºC). El compresor no podrá mantener las temperaturas

adecuadas dentro del refrigerador.

Para instalaciones donde las temperaturas caerá por debajo de los 50ºF (13ºC); Ajuste el

control de temperatura del congelador al ajuste "MÁS FRÍO". Esto mejorará las operaciones del

refrigerador bajo estas condiciones.

CUIDADOS EN LOS PERIODOS DE AUSENCIA

• Para cortos períodos de ausencia (menos de 21 días) el congelador podrá quedar funcionando.

Coloque el botón de control de temperaturas en la posición mínima.

• En períodos de ausencia más largos, se aconseja dejar el refrigerador limpio y desconectado.

• Retire todo lo que tenga adentro del refrigerador y haga el deshielo y la limpieza general. También

retire las cubeteras, limpie bien y séquelas internamente.

• Deje la puerta entreabierta para penetre el aire y así evitar la formación de olores.

Compartimiento de su congelador

• Este compartimiento está diseñado para un período largo (3 meses) de almacenamiento de

alimentos congelados.

• El tiempo de almacenamiento de los alimentos congelados varía y se recomienda almacenarlos

solamente mientras esté vigente la fecha de expiración.

• Alimentos congelados preenvasados comercialmente deben ser almacenados de acuerdo con las

indicaciones de su fabricante.

• Coloque los alimentos congelados dentro de su electrodoméstico inmediatamente después de

comprarlos. Si hay indicaciones en el envase, sígalas cuidadosamente considerando el tiempo de

almacenamiento.

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.

Reempiazando La Bombilla

Antes de cambiar la bombilla, desconecte el refrigerador de la

electricidad.

1. Hale y desconecte la cubierta plastica.

2. Remueva la bombilla rotándola hacia la izquierda

3. Reemplace la bombilla con una equivalente de 15 vatios.

4. Vuelva a colocar la capa plástica.

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.
