Maintenance and Cleaning

Never use gasoline, benzene, or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent, and wax polish for cleaning.
Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
If 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.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
Never use cleaning agents or water that contains 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.
Avoiding bad odors Materials 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.
Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:

• Keeping the refrigerator clean is important.
  Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor.
  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 odors.

• Never keep the food that has expired best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator”

Protection of plastic surfaces
Do not put 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.
