Frequently Asked Questions - KV1880R INVENTUM

How do I adjust the temperature on my Inventum KV1880R fridge?

The temperature is controlled by a manual dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures. The recommended setting is between 3 and 5.

Why is my fridge making unusual noises?

Some noise is normal due to the compressor and coolant flow. If the noise is loud or rattling, ensure the fridge is level and not touching walls or cabinets. Also check that the rear components are secure.

How do I clean the inside of the fridge?

Unplug the fridge and remove all food. Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. For the freezer, defrost first by unplugging and leaving the door open.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer when the ice layer reaches about 5 mm (0.2 inches) in thickness. This improves energy efficiency and frees up space.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the installation instructions for detailed steps. You will need a screwdriver and possibly a spanner. The kit with necessary parts is included.

What is the correct temperature for storing food?

The refrigerator compartment should be at 4°C (39°F) for fresh food. The freezer should be at -18°C (0°F) for long-term storage. Use a thermometer to check.

Why is water pooling at the bottom of the fridge?

This usually happens when the defrost drain is blocked. Clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment with a pipe cleaner or cotton swab. Also check that the drain tray is not full.

What should I do if the fridge is not cooling enough?

First, check the temperature setting. Ensure the door is sealing properly and the condenser coils at the back are clean. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

Can I put warm food directly into the fridge?

It is best to let food cool down to room temperature before placing it in the fridge to avoid raising the internal temperature and increasing energy consumption.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

The KV1880R uses an LED light which is not user-replaceable. If the light fails, contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer for service.

3 before the first use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material and promotional stickers. Keep the material (plastic, polystyrene and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface. Make sure there is enough open space around the appliance for the intake and/or outlet vents. A minimum clearance of 10 cm is required between the appliance and any adjacent walls. The appliance needs good ventilation for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption. Note: check the climat class of the appliance. When installing the appliance in a environment that is not suitable, the appliance can not function properly.

Leave the appliance to stand for at least 3 hours before you insert the plug into the socket.

First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

4 usage

The appliance features both internal and external 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.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COOLING COMPARTMENT

The thermostat for the cooling compartment is placed on the exterior of the appliance. Press the temperature button [1] repeatedly to set the desired temperature. There are six temperature settings.

2°C is the coldest and the setting SUPER turns the appliance cold rapidly.

We advise to set the appliance on the temperature setting 4^ when using the appliance at normal room temperature.

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 lower temperature setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the appliance.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The thermostat of the freezer compartment can be found on the inside of the cooling compartment behind the crisp drawer.

There are three settings. The setting WINTER is the coldest. Turn the thermostat knob [2] to the desired setting.

The recommended position is NORMAL when using the appliance at normal room temperature.

The recommended position is between NORMAL and WINTER for colder working environments and between NORMAL and SOMMER for hotter environments.

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.

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.
• 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 energy consumption is substantially higher.

6 cleaning & maintenance

Before cleaning the appliance 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. The grille of the condenser at the back of the appliance and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

DEFROSTING

The freezer compartment of the appliance is frost-free - no-frost. With proper use, there should not be any frost accumulated.

However, in case of improper use of the freezer compartment, frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the appliance has been used for a period of time. Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 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. Plug the appliance in and set the thermostat to the desired temperature 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.
