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 odors.

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.
