6.  Maintenance and cleaning

 Cleaning your fridge at regular 
intervals will extend the service 
life of the product.

B

  WARNING: 

Unplug the product before 
cleaning it.

• 

Never use gasoline, benzene 
or similar substances for 
cleaning purposes.

• 

Never use any sharp 
and abrasive tools, soap, 
household cleaners, 
detergent and wax polish for 
cleaning. 

• 

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 items.

• 

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

• 

Check regularly that the door 
gaskets are clean. If not, 
clean them.

• 

To remove door and body 
shelves, remove all of its 
contents.

• 

Remove the door shelves 
by pulling them up. After 
cleaning, slide them from top 
to bottom to install.

• 

Never use cleaning agents or 
water that contain chlorine to 
clean the outer surfaces and 
chromium coated parts of 
the product. Chlorine causes 
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
