WARNING:
Unplug the product before cleaning
it.
• Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
• Never use any sharp and abrasive
tools, soap, household cleaners,
detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
• For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frosting up to a
fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall
of the Fridge compartment. Do not
clean it; never apply oil or similar
agents on it.
• Only use slightly damp microfiber
cloths to clean the outer surface
of the product. Sponges and other
types of cleaning cloths may scratch
the surface
• Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-
carbonate in half litre of water. Soak
a cloth with the solution and wrung
it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of
the refrigerator with this cloth and
the dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
• If you will not use the refrigerator
for a long period of time, unplug it,
remove all food inside, clean it and
leave the door ajar.

gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.

• Never use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
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 the 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.
