inventum KK470, Instruction Manual

before the first use

3

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging 

material. 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. 

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. 

usage

4

The appliance features internal controls. Check whether the thermostat (4) is set on OFF.  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 OFF = OFF

Setting MIN = minimum - low cooling temperature

Setting MED = medium - normal cooling temperature

Setting MAX = maximum - high cooling temperature
Set the temperature with the thermostat (4) and choose a setting between MIN and MAX. We advise to set the appliance on setting 

MED. 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 

larder.

Set the appliance on a higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the appliance.

To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat (4) to OFF.

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 larder.

•   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 

puttin 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.

tips

5

•   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 energyconsumption is substantially higher.
