Smell and odour.
High humidity

season.
Hot and humid
climate.
Improper covering
and wrapping of food.
During the monsoon, when the humidity in the atmosphere
reaches around 90% water droplets may form around the
sides of the refrigerator cabinet, especially the top portion.
This moisture should be wiped off periodically. Contact our
serviceman to check the door seal or proper and uniform
contact with the cabinet.
In hot and humid weather the moist air rushes inside whenever
the refrigerator door is opened. This results in excess frosting
on the Evaporator and condensation on the Chiller tray bottom.
Avoid too frequent door openings.
Wrap and cover food stuffs properly. Place caps on bottles
and other liquid stores. If the smell persists, defrost the
refrigerator, remove all foodstuffs, clean the refrigerator
thoroughly and wipe it dry before restarting.
