guide.  
(I)  
BEFORE  
(II)  
AFTER  
Installing Your Unit  
?
Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To  
level your unit, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the unit.  
?
Locate the unit away from sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Heat sources may  
increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit  
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.  
?
After plugging the appliance intoa wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before  
placing food in the refrigerator 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 unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit 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 unit requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. 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.  
10  
The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental  
injury.  
The unit 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  
unit 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 unit, 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 unit. 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.  
Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance  
This appliance 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 customer service for reversal instructions.  
OPERATING YOUR UNIT  
Setting the Temperature Control  
?
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located  
on the lower unit.  
?
?
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6.”  
The range of the temperature control is from position "1” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the  
temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “4” should be  
appropriate for use.  
?
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.  
NOTE:  
?
?
Turning the temperature control toOFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the  
power to the unit.  
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 unit will not start.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning Your Unit  
?
?
Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.  
Wash the inside surfaces 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 shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.  
The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.  
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any  
electrical parts.  
?
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with  
a clean soft cloth.  
CAUTION:  
Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.  
11  
Automatic Defrosting  
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator. Defrost water collects and passes thru the drain  
outlet in the rear wall into a tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates.  
NOTE:  
?
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before  
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not  
start.  
Power Failure  
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your  
unit 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 Unit  
?
?
?
?
?
Remove all the food.  
Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.  
Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage.  
Tape the door shut.  
Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the  
outside of unit with a blanket, or similar item.  
Energy Saving Tips  
?
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances,  
and out of the direct sunlight.  
?
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the  
compressor to run longer.  
?
?
?
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 unit.  
Unit storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners  
interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit 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.  
Security Lock  
Your unit is provided with a lockand 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 counter  
clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the reverse operation making sure the  
metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put in a secure place for safekeeping.

INSTRUCCIONES EN ESPAÑOL  
INSTALACION  
Retire los accesorios de empaque (plásticos protectores, cartón y tiras engomadas). Limpie el  
exterior con un trapo suave y seco, y el interior con un trapo húmedo y tibio.  
UBICACION  
1. Seleccione un lugar con un piso firme y nivelado.  
2. Su refrigerador requiere ventilación. Deje un espacio mínimo de 5” hacia arriba y espacio  
suficiente en el respaldo para permitir la circulación de aire.  
3. Evite luz directa del sol o calor. La luz directa del sol puede afectar la capa de pintura. Las  
fuentes de calor en su proximidad causarán un consumo mayor de electricidad.  
4. Para un mejor desempeño, nivele el refrigerador utilizando las patas ajustables o tornillos  
niveladores. Para verificar el nivel, abra la puerta hasta la mitad, debe regresar sola.  
INSTALACION DE LA UNIDAD  
Esta unidad ha sido diseñada para uso externo o interno incluso empotrada en gabinetes.  
Si se usa empotrada en gabinetes, no es necesario dejar espacios libres arriba, en ambos  
lados, o en la parte trasera pero las aperturas del frente nunca deben ser obstruídas.  
USO EXTERNO DE LA UNIDAD  
En temperaturas ambientales que excedan 110º F (43.4º C) pudieran reducir la habilidad de  
alcanzar temperaturas bajas en la parte interior de la unidad.  
Lo mismo sucedería cuando las temperaturas ambientales bajan a menos de 40º F (4.4º C).  
En estos casos es necesario apagar la unidad.  
INSTRUCCIONES PARA LA CONEXION A TIERRA  
Este aparato electrodoméstico debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de un cortocircuito eléctrico, la  
conexión a tierra reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico proporcionando un cable de escape para la  
corriente eléctrica. Este aparato viene equipado con un cordón que posee un cable a tierra con un  
enchufe de conexión a tierra. Este enchufe debe estar conectado en un tomacorriente instalado  
correctamente y conectado a tierra.  
ADVERTENCIA  
El uso inadecuado del enchufe de conexión a tierra puede resultar en un riesgo de choque eléctrico.  
Consulte con un electricista si no comprende bien las instrucciones de conexión a tierra o si existe  
alguna duda sobre si el aparato está conectado a tierra correctamente.  
NO USE UN CORDON DE EXTENSION ELECTRICA  
Use un tomacorriente de pared exclusivo. No conecte su refrigerador a cordones de prolongación  
eléctrica o junto a cualquier otro electrodoméstico en el mismo tomacorriente de pared.  
ADVERTENCIA IMPORTANTE:  
Un refrigerador vacío es una atracción muy peligrosa para los niños. Quite los sellos magnéticos,  
puertas o cerraduras de todo electrodoméstico que no esté en uso, es tambien aconsejable remover  
o quitar ambas puertas al momento de desechar su refrigerador.  
OPERACION  
Enchufe el cable a la toma de corriente, que debe ser 115-120v A/C, 10 AMP ó más. Para evitar  
vibraciones, este equipo debe estar bien nivelado. Para encender el refrigerador, gire el control de  
temperatura a la posición que corresponda al enfriamiento deseado.  
16  
ADJUSTE DEL TERMOSTATO  
El termostato regula automáticamente la temperatura interna de los compartimentos del refrigerador  
y del congelador. Para enfriar más la unidad, sólo debe girar el control de temperatura desde la  
posición 1 a la posición 6.  
Bajo condiciones normales mueva el control entre la posición 3 y la 4.  
Recuerde que la temperatura del ambiente, la temperatura de la comida almacenada y la frecuencia  
con que se abra la puerta del refrigerador, afectan la temperatura en el compartimiento del  
refrigerador. Si fuera necesario, modifique la temperatura seleccionada según sea el caso.  
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.  
Saque todo lo que tenga adentro del refrigerador y haga el deshielo y la limpieza general.  
También retire la bandeja del congelador, limpie bien y séquela internamente.  
?
Deje la puerta entreabierta para que penetre el aire y así evitar la formación de olores.  
ECONOMIA DE ENERGIA  
?
?
?
Evite dejar por mucho tiempo la puerta abierta.  
Evite aperturas frecuentes de la puerta.  
Nunca coloque alimentos calientes dentro del refrigerador. Espere que estén a una  
temperatura ambiental.
