Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your fridge at regular inter-
vals will extend the service life of the
product.

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.
• 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.
• 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
• 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.
• 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 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 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 bi-carbonate
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
best before dates and spoiled in the
refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plas-
tic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked me-
als in your refrigerator in unsealed con-
tainers as they damage the plastic sur-
faces 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.
