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 plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your
refrigerator in unsealed containers as they dama-
ge 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.
