INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
1 Storage Basket
1 Instruction Manual
1 Plastic Scraper
•
Before connecting the freezer 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.
Installing Your Freezer
•
This
appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
•
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
•
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air
circulation.
•
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 freezer in moist areas.
•
Plug the freezer 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.
