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

If you will not use the refrigerator
for a long period of time, unplug it,
remove all food inside, clean it and

Remove the door shelves by pulling

Never use cleaning agents or water

outer surfaces and chromium coated

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 dama-
ge 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.
