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 refrigera-
tor. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic
surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of
the surface at once with warm water.
