intervals.

B

WARNING: 

Unplug the 

product before cleaning it.

 

Never use gasoline, benzene or 

similar substances for cleaning

the interior of the refrigerator

thoroughly.

 

Make sure that no water enters 

the lamp housing and other 

electrical items.

 

If you will not use the 

refrigerator for a long period of 

time, unplug it, remove all food 

inside, clean it and leave the

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 carbonate dissolved in 

water every 15 days.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 

expired best before dates and 

spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2   Protecting the 

plastic 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.
