Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product is increase if it is
regularly cleaned
B
WARNING:
before cleaning your refrigerator.
• Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap,
household cleaners, detergent and wax polish
for cleaning.
• Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half liter
of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and
wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the
appliance with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical items.
• Clean the door with a damp cloth. To remove
door and body shelves, remove all of its
contents. Remove door shelves by moving them
upwards. 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.
• Do not use sharp, abrasive tools, soap,
household cleaning agents, detergents,
kerosene, fuel oil, varnish etc. to prevent
removal and deformation of the prints on the
plastic part. Use lukewarm water and a soft
cloth for cleaning and then wipe it dry.

6.1. Avoiding bad odors

Materials that may cause odor are not used in
the production of our appliances. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving conditions and
not cleaning the inner surface of the appliance as
required can bring forth the problem of odor.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate
dissolved in water every 15 days.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered
containers can cause unpleasant odours.
First unplug the product
• Never keep the food that have expired best
before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2. Protecting the plastic surfaces

Clean with arm water immediately as the oil may
cause damage on the surface when it is poured on
plastic surfaces.

6.3. Door Glasses

Remove the protective foil on the glasses.
There is a coating on the surface of the glasses.
This coating minimizes the stain build-up and
helps to remove the possible stains and dirt easily.
Glasses that are not protected with such a coating
may be subject to persistent binding of air or water
based organic or inorganic dirt such as limescale,
mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides
and silicones that can easily and quickly cause
stains or material damage. Keeping the glass
clean becomes too difficult despite the regular
cleaning. Consequently, the appearance and the
transparency of the glass deteriorates. Harsh
and corrosive cleaning methods and compounds
will intensify these defects and speed up the
deterioration process.
Water-based cleaning products that are not alkaline
and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning
purposes.
Non-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must
be used for cleaning so that the service life of this
coating lasts for a long time.
These glasses are tempered to increase their
durability against impacts and breaking.
A safety film is also applied to their rear surfaces
as an extra safety measure in order to prevent
them from causing damage to their surrounding in
case of a breakage.
*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide ions (OH¯)
when it is dissolved in water.
Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb
(Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and
radioactive Fr (Fan-sium) metals are called ALKALI
METALS.
