t

Never use gasoline, benzene or similar 

substances for cleaning purposes.

t

Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, 

soap, household cleaners, detergent 

and wax polish for cleaning. 

t

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.

t

Only use slightly damp microfiber 

cloths to clean the outer surface of the 

product. Sponges and other types of 

cleaning cloths may scratch the surface

t

Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-carbonate 

in half litre of water. Soak a cloth with 

the solution and wrung it thoroughly. 

Wipe the interior of the refrigerator 

with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.

t

Make sure that no water enters the 

lamp housing and other electrical items.

t

If you will not use the refrigerator for a 

long period of time, unplug it, remove all 

food inside, clean it and leave the door 

ajar.

t

Check regularly that the door gaskets 

are clean. If not, clean them.

t

To remove door and body shelves, 

remove all of its contents.

t

Remove the door shelves by pulling 

them up. After cleaning, slide them 

from top to bottom to install.

t

Never use cleaning agents or water 

that contain chlorine to clean the outer 

surfaces and chromium coated parts of 

the product. Chlorine causes corrosion 

on such metal surfaces.

6.1 Avo

i

ng bad odours

t

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:

t

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.

t

Keep the food in closed containers.  

Microorganisms spreading out from 

uncovered containers can cause 

unpleasant odours.

t

Never keep the food that have passed 

best before dates and spoiled in the 

refrigerator.
