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 pas-
sed best before dates and spoiled
in the refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plas-
tic 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.
