6.1 Avoiding bad odours

Materials that may cause odour are
•
not used in the production of our ref-
rigerators. However, due to inapp-
ropriate food preserving conditions
and not cleaning the inner surfa-
ce 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 im-
•
portant. 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 unp-
leasant odours.
Never keep the food that have pas-
•
sed 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 unse-
aled 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.
