cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance set the thermostat to [0/OFF] and always unplug the appliance.
Clean the interior of the appliance regurlarly. Remove the food. Clean the interior of the appliance. Simply remove the
shelves, drawers and door compartments to clean them by hand. Do not clean the interior accessories in the dishwasher.
Use warm water and a neutral detergent, such as baking soda, to prevent any bad smells occurring. Use two tablespoons and
a quart liter of warm water. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and leave the door open to let it air dry for 1 to 2
hours before the power is turned on. Be careful not to affect the electrical insulation properties when rinsing with water.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator, such as narrow gaps or corners, it is recommended to wipe them
regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary use some auxiliary tools, such as thin sticks (tooth picks), to ensure
no contamination can accumulate in these areas.
Clean the outside of the larder and the door gasket with mild soap and water. Use a soft moist cloth.
We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance and on the floor with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order
to maintain a good output and low energy consumption.
Do not use hard brushes, cleaning steel wire balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as
alcohol, acetone, oils, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator considering that this may damage
the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
DEFROSTING THE COOLING COMPARTMENT
The defrosting of the cooling compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the cooling
compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress.
The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container
from which it evaporates. The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of
the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
Warning: Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp objects, defrost sprays,
a hair-drier, a heater, or similar items. This may lead to unsafe situations and
may cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
REPLACING THE LED LIGHTING
This appliance is equipped with a LED light bulb. It can be used for a long time. In case, the LED bulb is blown, it must be
replaced by a qualified person to avoid any hazard. Contact the Inventum service department.
TIPS
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the larder in a position away from direct sunlight
or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it
as soon as possible.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the larder compartment must be unobstructed to allow the cool air
to circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher.
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
