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.
