6Cleaning and care

ANever use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.

BWe recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.

CNever use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

CUse lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

CSoak a piece of cloth in water with sodium bicarbonate (one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to half a liter of water) and wring it well. Use this cloth to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

BMake sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.

BIf your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

CCheck door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

ATo remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

CMaterials that may cause odor 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 odor.

Points to be taken into consideration to prevent this problem are as follows:

CKeeping the products clean is important.

For this, refrigerators must be cleaned with sodium bicarbonate diluted in water every 15 days. (Detergents and soap must never be used.) Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor.

CFoods must be kept in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odors.

CFoods that have expired best before dates and spoiled foods should never be kept in the refrigerator.

Depending on the usage condition, you may apply the following in case of odor formation in your refrigerator.

CTea is one of the best deodorants. Open hydroxyl (OH) ends of Catechin substance molecules in the tea hold the odor creating volatile organics to remove unpleasant odors.

CPut the pulp of the tea you prepared in your refrigerator in an uncovered container and keep it there for maximum 12 hours. If you leave it in the refrigerator for more than 12 hours, it may become the source of the odor as it will collect the microorganisms that cause the odor; therefore, it must be thrown away.

Protection of plastic surfaces

CDo not put the liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
