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.
