usage

TEMP ZONE COLD — ■ - COLDEST SETTING 3 sec. Super Cool LED 3 ALED 2LED 1

Position 1234 OFF
LED 1232+3 All LED's off
Temperature	6-8°C	3-5°C	2-4°C	1-3°C	n/a
BUTTON A Temperature setting of refrigerator compartment

The appliance features internal controls. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket.

Set the temperature with the thermostat (2) and choose a setting between 1 and 4. We advise to set the appliance on setting 2.

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.

Display

- Once initially powered on, all LED lights turn on for 3 seconds, and then the refrigerator runs at the default setting (LED 2 light is on).

• In case of a failure, the corresponding LED blinks.

• In case of no failures, it shows the actual temperature setting of refrigerator.

Temperature setting

• Each time the temperature setting button A is pressed once, the temperature setting changes one time. After the temperature setting has been completed, the refrigerator will run according to the set value after 30s.

Super cool

- Long press temperature setting button for 3s, it will enter Super cool mode after 30s, and LED 1 and LED 2 turn on at the same time.

- After running for 6 hours at Super cool mode or the setting button is pressed, it will quit the Super cool mode, then go back to the previous 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 putting 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.
• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.

5 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.
• 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 energy consumption is substantially higher.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

- Opening the door for long periods can cause a significatn increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.

- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

- Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and making ice cubes.

- One-, two- and three-start compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.

Note: please store different foods according to the compartments or target storage temperature of your purchased products.

- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

Water dispenser cleaning (special for water dispenser products):

- Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.

WARNING -Food needs to be packed in bags before putting into the refrigerator, and liquids need to be packed in bottles or capped containers to avoid the problem that the product design structure is not easy to clean.

6 cleaning & maintenance

Frost can settle on the rear wall of the cooling compartment. It is removed automatically. Before cleaning the appliance set the thermostat to OFF and always unplug the appliance.

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.

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.
