Freezer com-
partment
Defrosting for the freezer
compartment is by manu-
al process.
• Turn the thermostat knob to set at OFF po-
sition and leave openthe freezer door.
• Remove all foods, ice cube tray and shelf or
transfer torefrigerating compartment.
• Clean and wipe out the melted frost with a
cloth.
• After defrosting, turn thermostat knob to
origin position.
Note:
To avoid damaging the freezing com-
partment wall, do not use any sharp objects
to remove the frost or separate the frozen
food.
• Never use items such as candles, oil lamps
or heaters in your refrigerator to hasten the
defrosting.
• Defrosting sprays may contain liquids and
gases that can be harmful for your refriger-
ator and health. Be careful while using such
materials.
IV. Cleaning and Care
• Never use gasoline, benzene or similar sub-
stances for cleaning purposes.
• We recommend that you unplug the appli-
ance before cleaning.
• Never use any sharp abrasive instrument,
soap, household cleaner, detergent and
wax polish for cleaning.
• Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of
your refrigerator and wipe it dry.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution
of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to
one pint of water to clean the interior and
wipe it dry.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical items.
• If your refrigerator is not going to be used
for a long period of time, unplug the power
cable, remove all food, clean it and leave
the door ajar.
• Check door seals regularly to ensure they
are clean and free from food particles.
• To remove door racks, remove all the con-
tents and then simply push the door rack
upwards from the base.
• Materials that may cause odor are not used
in the production of our refrigerators. How-
ever, due to inappropriate food preserv-
ing conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required can
bring forth the problem of odor.
Points to be taken into consideration to
prevent this problem are as follows:
• Keeping the products clean is important.
For this, refrigerators must be cleaned with
carbonated water in every 15 days. (Deter-
gents and soap must never be used.) Food
residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor.
• Foods must be kept in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from un-
covered containers can cause unpleasant
odors.
• Foods that have expired best before dates
and spoiled foods should never be kept in
the refrigerator.
Depending on the usage condition, you may
apply the following in case of odor formation
in your refrigerator.
• Tea is one of the best deodorants. Open
hydroxyl (OH) ends of Catechin substance
molecules in the tea hold the odor creat-
ing volatile organics to remove unpleasant
odors.
• Put the pulp of the tea you prepared in your
refrigerator in an uncovered container and
keep it there for maximum 12 hours. If you
leave it in the refrigerator for more than
12 hours, it may become the source of the
odor as it will collect the microorganisms
that cause the odor; therefore, it must be
thrown away.
Protection of plastic surfaces
• Do not put the liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in unsealed con-
tainers as they damage the plastic surfaces
of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or
smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean
and rinse the relevant part of the surface at
once with warm water.
