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.
