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 uni t to cool down for 2~3 hours before placing food in the freezer compartment. 7 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 freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this freezer 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 freezer requires a standard 115/120Volt~60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. Never unplug the freezer 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. The “Green” 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 On” 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 (amber light) 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 appropriate 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. 8 ? 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 (Amber) ? 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 . to . inch thick. ? Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low. 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 (green light out). ? During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet. ? Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight 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 ho...
