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 con-
ditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as requ-
ired 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 ca-
use unpleasant odours.
•
Never keep the food that have pas-
sed best before dates and spoiled
in the refrigerator.
