6 . Maintenance 

and cleaning

Service life of the product extends 

and frequently faced problems 

decrease if cleaned at regular 

intervals.

B

WARNING: 

Unplug the 

product before cleaning it.

• 

Never use gasoline, benzene or 

similar substances for cleaning 

purposes.

• 

Never use any sharp and 

abrasive tools, soap, household 

cleaners, detergent and wax 

polish for cleaning. 

• 

Dissolve one teaspoon of 

carbonate in half litre of water. 

Soak a cloth with the solution 

and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe 

the interior of the Freezer 

with this cloth and the dry 

thoroughly.

• 

Make sure that no water enters 

the lamp housing and other 

electrical items.

• 

If you will not use the Freezer 

for a long period of time, unplug 

it, remove all food inside, clean 

it and leave the door ajar.

• 

Check regularly that the door 

gaskets are clean. If not, clean 

them.

• 

To remove door and body 

shelves, remove all of its 

contents.

• 

Remove the door shelves by 

pulling them up. After cleaning, 

slide them from top to bottom to 

install.

• 

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  Avoiding bad odours

Materials that may cause odour 

are not used in the production 

of our Freezers. However, due 

to inappropriate food preserving 

conditions and not cleaning the 

inner surface of the Freezers 

as required can bring forth the 

problem of odour. Pay attention to 

following to avoid this problem:

• 

Keeping the Freezers clean 
is important. Food residuals, 
stains, etc. can cause odour. 
Therefore, clean the Freezers 
with Sodium Bicarbonate 
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.

• 

Never keep the food that have 
passed the best before dates 
and spoiled in the Freezer.
