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.
