Installation Instructions

  • Before Using Your appliance
  • Remove the exterior and interior packing.
  • Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
  • 4 Shelves
  • 2 Wine Racks
  • Instruction Manual
  • Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately two hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

Note: Your unit contains extra shelves for a variety of choices. You can use your all refrigerator to store white wine as well as sodas. All of the shelves will not work effectively in the unit at the same time.

Installation of Your appliance

  • Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the legs at the front of the appliance.
  • Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.

  • 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 appliance.
  • 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.
