food storage in the appliance
COOLING COMPARTMENT
The cooling compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the cooling compartment. Leave some space around the food to
allow the air to circulate.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquids in the appliance.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of
explosion.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped. To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids
in unsealed containers in the appliance.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable drawer,
where the air is cooler.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into the vegetable drawer without the packaging.
• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often and not leave the door open for a long time.

cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the larder, always unplug the appliance.
Remove all food from the appliance. Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with a neutral cleaning
agent to prevent nasty smells. 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. The shelves, vegetable drawer and door compartments can be removed
from the appliance easily and washed by hand. The components may not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
For areas in the appliance that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended wiping them clean
regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make
sure no contamination can occur in these areas.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the door gasket with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the rear of the appliance at least one per year with a vacuum cleaner so that the condenser and ventilation holes
remain clean and the appliance is able to function as optimal as possible.
Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.),
boiling water, acid or alkaline product to clean the appliance, as this could damage the surface and interior of appliance.
Boiling water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
DEFROSTING THE COOLING COMPARTMENT
The defrosting of the cooling compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the coolling
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 appliance instead of flowing out.
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.
