6. Freezer compartment with lid

9. Bottle compartment

10. Door compartments

Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. A minimum space of 10 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way the appliance is able to release heat properly, cool well and function in an energy efficient way. You can use the adjustable feet to level the appliance. Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note of the climate class of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the refrigerator will not function properly. After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket. First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. usage

22 • English The appliance features internal controls. Check whether the thermostat is off. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket. Temperature settings Setting OFF = appliance is off Setting MIN = minimum - low cooling temperature Setting MED = medium - normal cooling temperature Setting MAX = maximum - high cooling temperature Set the temperature with the thermostat knob and choose a setting between MIN and MAX. We advise to set the appliance on setting MED. The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Do not place anything in the appliance until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat at the desired setting and place food into the refrigerator. Set the appliance on a higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the appliance. To turn the appliance off, turn the thermostat to the [ OFF ] setting. Note: The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal temperature. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.

• Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.

• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.

• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.

• Leave sufficient space between the food to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them, avoid puttin food items in contact with each other.

• Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the appliance. The shelves have a stop to avoid this.

• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.tips

• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance 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 refrigerator 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.

• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher. cleaning & maintenance

English • 23 Before cleaning the appliance set the thermostat to OFF and 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 appliance and the gasket with a soft moist cloth.

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 a plastic scraper. Clean and dry the freezer. Turn 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.troubleshooting
