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:
?3Storage 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 recessed 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
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
?
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.

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’ position.
?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 plugon 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 icereaches 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 are 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
Freezer does not operate. Not plugged in.
The circuit breaker tripped or blown fuse.
The freezer temperature control is set at "OFF".
Compressor turns on and off frequently. The room temperature is hotter than normal.
A large amount of food has been added to the
freezer.
The door is opened too often.
The door is not closed completely.
The temperature control is not set correctly.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
The freezer does not have the correct
clearances.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a
period of time. Four hours are required for the
freezer to cool down completely.
Temperature inside the freezer is too warm. Temperature control is set too warm. Turn the
control to a cooler setting and allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
Door is kept open too long or is opened too
frequently. Warm air enters the freezer every
time the door is opened. Open the door less
often.
The door is not closed completely.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
A large amount of warm or hot food might have
been stored recently. Wait until the freezer has
had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a
period of time. Four hours are required for the
freezer to cool down completely.
Temperature inside the freezer is too cold. Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the
control to a warmer setting (3 or 4) and allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Fast Freeze switch is turned ON. This causes
continuous running of the compressor and
bypasses the temperature control.
Temperature of external freezer surface is warm. The exterior freezer walls can be as much as
30?F warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor
comes on. Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will
level off or disappear as freezer continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling. Refrigerant (used tocool freezer) is circulating
throughout the system. This is normal.

Vibrations. Check to assure that the freezer is not on a level
surface.
Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the
floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor can
adequately support freezer. Level the freezer by
putting wood or metal shims under part of the
freezer.
The freezer is touching the wall. Re-level the
freezer and move it from the wall.
See “Installation Instructions”
Moisture forms on inside freezer walls. Weather is hot and humid, which increases
internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal.
Door is slightly open.
Door is kept open too long, or is opened too
frequently. Open the door less often.
The door is not sealed properly.
Moisture forms on outside of freezer. Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside
the freezer to meet warm moist air from outside.
The door will notclose properly. The freezer is not on a level surface.
The gasket is dirty.
The storage basket is out of position.
