cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the refrigerator 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 refrigerator and the gasket with a soft moist cloth.
We recommend that you dus 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 REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
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.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Keep the contents of the freezer in a cool
place and wrapped in blankets or newspapers. Switch the thermostat off. Defrost the freezer compartment.
You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer. Do not use sharp metal objects for this
operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
Clean and dry the freezer. Switch the thermostat on to the right setting. When the freezer compartment reaches its correct
temperature, replace the food items.
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.
