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 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 odours.
• Never keep the food that have expired best
before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your
refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage
the plastic surfaces 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.

Tea is one of the best deodorants. Open
hydroxyl (OH) ends of Catechin substance
molecules in the tea hold the volatile
organics that create the odour, and thus
remove unpleasant odours. Put the pulp of
the tea you prepared into 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 odour
as it will collect the microorganisms that
cause the odour.
