IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

?

WARNING

?

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 reces sed 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 to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one numerical 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’ pos ition.

?

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.

?

Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”.

?

Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be OFF.

?

During the defrost, the ice melts into the cabinet.

?

Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by screwing out.

?

Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.

?

Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.

?

Clean the interior of the freezer.

?

Replace the plug on the inside floor.

?

Reset the thermostat to desired setting.

?

Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.

?

Switch on the Fast Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.

?

Return food to the freezer.

HELPFUL HINT:

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.

? The Freezer Compartment

?

This compartment is designed for the long term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three months.

?

The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.

?

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.

?

The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.

?

A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd -shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.

? Door Lock

Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the User's Guide. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door.

To lock the door do the reverse operation making sure metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and place it in a secure place for safekeeping.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

? Cleaning Your Freezer

?

Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.

?

Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage baskets.

?

Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

?

Wash the storage baskets with a mild detergent solution.

?

Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.

?

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

?

Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

?

The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they ar e dusty or dirty.

?

It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free and running efficiently.

? Vacation Time

?

Remove all the food.

?

Unplug the freezer.

?

Clean the freezer.

?

Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.

?

Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.

?

Short vacations: Leave the freezer 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 or have the door removed.

? Moving Your Freezer

?

Remove all the food.

?

Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.

?

Remove the rollers to prevent damage

?

Tape the doors shut.

?

Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.

? Energy Saving Tips

?

The freezer 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 in the freezer. Overloading the freezer 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 freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

?

Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

?

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.

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FREEZER ?

You can solve many common freezer problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer.

? Consejos Para Ahorrar Energía

?

Su congelador 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.

?

Deje enfriar los alimentos de acuerdo a la temperatura ambiental antes de colocarlos dentro del congelador. Si sobrecarga su congelador forzará al compresor a funcionar más tiempo del normal. Los alimentos que se congelan lentamente pierden calidad y se descomponen.

?

Asegúrese de envolver adecuadamente los alimentos y de secar los empaques o contenedores antes de colocarlos dentro del congelador. Colocarlos mojados ocasiona escarcha en el congelador.

?

La canasta de almacenaje de su congelador 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 congelador.

?

Organice y coloque etiquetas en los envases de los alimentos con la finalidad de abrir el congelador lo menos posible y encontrar rápidamente lo que usted está buscando.

Retire la mayor cantidad posible de cosas que necesita a la vez y ci erre la puerta del congelador tan pronto le sea posible.
