6.1 Avoiding
bad odours
Materials that may cause odour are not
used in the production of our refrigerators.
However, due to inappropriate food preserv-

Therefore, clean the refrigerator with bi-car-
bonate dissolved in water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from un-
covered containers can cause unpleasant
odours.
Never keep the food that have passed best

plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in
your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they
