wax polish for cleaning.
• For non-No Frost products, water drops and
frosting up to a fingerbreadth occur on the
rear wall of the Fridge compartment. Do not
clean it; never apply oil or similar agents on
it.

6.1 Avoiding bad odours

• Materials that may cause odour are not
used in the production of our refrigerators.
However, due to inappropriate food preserv-
ing conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required can
bring forth the problem of odour. Pay atten-
tion 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-car-
bonate dissolved in water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from un-
covered 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 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.
