how to operate the appliance

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
With the temperature adjusting knob you are able to adjust the larder’s temperature.
Also use the adjusting knob to activate the Supercool function.

The standard setting of the temperature is 5°C.
The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to reach the required temperature with no food in the larder. Usually this will take 2 to 3 hours. After that, you can set the required temperature and fill the larder with food.
Repeatedly press the knob until the indicator light of the required temperature lights up. The temperature settings are shown in the following sequence. 2°C, 4°C, 5°C, 6°C, 8°C and supercool.
If you press the adjusting knob until the indicator light of supercool lights up, it will start to flash after 3 seconds. supercool is now active.

ALARM
If there is a problem with the larder, the indicator light for the alarm will light up. Check what the problem could be in chapter 7.

SUPERCOOL

When can supercool be used?

If you want to cool large quantities of food
If you want to cool food quickly
If you want to store seasonal vegetables properly for a longer period of time
Press the adjusting knob until the indicator light for supercool lights up. The light will remain on as long as supercool remains active.
In order to make optimum use of the supercool setting, you must activate it 6 hours before placing the fresh food in the larder.
You can deactivate supercool by pressing the adjusting knob once more. supercool is deactivated automatically after 6 hours or when the thermostat sensor gets below 2°C.

Attention
The ambient temperature, the temperature of the recently stored food and the frequency by means of which the door is opened, have an effect on the temperature in the larder. Take this into account when adjusting the temperature.

supercool is deactivated automatically after 6 hours or when the thermostat sensor gets below 2°C.
You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the larder, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
A 5 minute delay function is used to prevent damage to the larder’s compressor when you remove the plug and insert it in the socket again to switch on the larder or during a power interruption. You larder starts working normally after 5 minutes.

Freshness instructions
When the slide for air humidity is closed, fresh vegetables and fruit can be stored for a longer period of time.

If the vegetable drawer is completely full, the slide for air humidity at the front of the vegetable drawer must be opened.
In this way you regulate the air and the air humidity in the vegetable drawer, so that the storage time is increased.

If you see condensation on the glass plate above the vegetable drawer, you must open the slide for air humidity.
Freshness Instructions

placing food in the appliance

LARDER SECTION
The larder section is used for storing fresh food that must be stored for a few days.

Do not place food against the rear wall of the larder section. Maintain sufficient space between the different foods to allow the air to circulate properly.
Do not place hot food in the larder.
You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the larder, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
Always store food in closed containers or packagings. In order to prevent humidity and ice formation, you should never store opened containers in the larder.
Package meat and fish to prevent nasty smells and place them on the glass plate above the vegetable drawer, the air will be cooler there.
Vegetables and fruit can be stored in the drawers without packaging.
Try not to open the door too often and do not leave the door open for any longer than necessary.

cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning the larder, switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the socket.
Clean the inside of the larder. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda in order to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the larder after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry.
Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves, drawers and door racks can be removed from the larder easily and washed by hand. These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Clean the outside of the larder and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.

Clean the rear of the larder at least one per year with a vacuum cleaner, so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain clean and the larder is able to function as optimal as possible.

DEFROSTING THE LARDER SECTION
Defrosting the larder section takes place fully automatically. The presence of water drops on the rear wall on the inside of the larder indicates that the larder section is busy defrosting. The defrost water runs via the drain gutter to the receptacle in which it will evaporate. The defrost water gutter must be cleaned regularly. Make sure the hole does not get blocked up. The defrost water gutter will start to overflow and defrost water will end up in the refrigerator.
DEFROSTING THE LARDER SECTION

Warning Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar. This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

REPLACING THE LED LAMP
This appliance has been provided with a LED lamp. This lamp lasts for a longer period of time. When the LED lamp in the appliance is broken, you are not able to replace it yourself. Contact the Inventum service department.

TIPS

A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat sources near the larder also have a negative effect.
Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a high energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around the larder, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the larder is possible.
Do not open the door of the larder more often than necessary and leave the door open as short as possible.
The distance between the shelves and the rear wall ensures a free air circulation. Do not place food against the rear wall.
Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
Allow cooked food that you want to store in the larder to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the larder.
Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm thick.
A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the power consumption.
The condenser at the rear of the larder must always be kept clean and free from dust.
If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher power consumption.
If you do not use the appliance for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays), switch the appliance off by removing the plug. Defrost and clean the larder. Leave the doors slightly open to prevent moulds and smells.
