6.1 Avoiding bad odours

Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due to
inappropriate food preserving conditions
and not cleaning the inner surface of the
refrigerator as required can bring forth
the problem of odour. Pay attention to
following to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is
important. Food residuals, stains, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean
the refrigerator with bi-carbonate
dissolved in water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep food that have passed
best before dates and spoiled in the
refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the
plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in unsealed
containers as they damage the plastic
surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is
spilled or smeared onto the plastic
surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant
part of the surface at once with warm
water.
