6.1 Avo
i
d
i
ng bad odours
• Materials that may cause odour are not
used in the production of our freezers.
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 freezer clean is important.
Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause
odour. Therefore, clean the freezer 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.

in your freezer in unsealed containers as
they damage the plastic surfaces of the
freezer. If oil is spilled or smeared onto
the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the
relevant part of the surface at once with
warm water.
