cleaning & maintenance
6
Before cleaning the larder always unplug the appliance.
Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent to prevent any bad smells occurring. After
cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. Simply remove the
shelves, drawer and door compartments to clean them by hand. Do not clean the interior accessories in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside of the larder and the gasket with a soft moist cloth.
We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order to maintain a
good output and low energy consumption.
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. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• 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.
