cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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.
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 LED lighting. It can be used for a long time. In case, if the LED lighting is blown, it must be replaced
by a qualified person to avoid any hazard. Contact the Inventum service department.
