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 con-
ditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as requ-
ired 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 ca-
use unpleasant odours.
•
Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and spoi-
led 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.
