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 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
cause unpleasant odours.
Never keep the food that have
passed 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 plas-
tic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil
is spilled or smeared onto the plas-
tic surfaces, clean and rinse the rele-
vant part of the surface at once with
warm water.
