MEDICINE OR OTHER MEDICAL

− Read all instructions before using the refrigerator. − DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”. − Before you throw away your old refrigerator: 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 refrigerator. − Never clean refrigerator 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 refrigerator. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts: o 2 Shelves o Instruction Manual

• 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 Refrigerator

• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator, adjust the legs at the front of the refrigerator.

• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air circulation.

• Locate the refrigerator 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 not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the refrigerator.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

This Unit Is For Indoor Use Only

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -8

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. This appliance requires a standard 115Volts~/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. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. 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.

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.

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.9 Reversing The Door Swing Of Your Refrigerator This appliance has the capability of the doors opening from either the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the doors opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, please call service for reversal instructions.

Setting the Temperature Control Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment. The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “HI”. The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “HI”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “MED” should be appropriate for hospitality or office use. To turn the refrigerator 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 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. Interior Light This refrigerator is provided with a LED light located on the upper right hand corner of the compartment. The light will be on when the door is opened and be off when the door is closed.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning The Refrigerator

• Turn the temperature control to "OFF", 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 a towel moistened with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the refrigerator 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 appliance 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.10 Moving Your Refrigerator (CAUTION: Use caution when moving and using the refrigerator to avoid the risk of fire or explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing.

• 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 doors shut.

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

• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing refrigerators 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 unit 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.
