Maintenance and Cleaning
Read the “Safety Instructions” first!
- Unplug your appliance before cleaning it.
- The dust on the ventilation grille on the back of the product should be removed (without opening the lid) at least once a year. Cleaning should be done with a dry cloth.
- Be careful not to let water get into the lamp housing and other electrical parts.
- Clean the door with a damp cloth. Remove all contents to take out the door and body shelves. Lift the door shelves upwards to remove them. After cleaning and drying, slide them back in place from top to bottom.
- Never use chlorine-containing water or cleaning agents for cleaning the exterior surface of the product or chrome-plated parts. Chlorine causes rust on these types of metal surfaces.
- To prevent the prints on the plastic part from peeling off or deforming, do not use sharp, abrasive tools, soap, household cleaning products, detergents, gasoline, polish, etc. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and dry.
- In products without No Frost technology; water droplets and up to a finger's thickness of frost will form on the back wall of the cooling compartment. Do not clean it, and absolutely do not apply oil or similar substances.
- Use only a slightly damp microfiber cloth for cleaning the exterior surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning cloths may cause scratches.
- To clean the interior surfaces of the product, wash all removable parts with a mild solution of soap, water, and baking soda. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Prevent water from getting into the lights and control panel.
- Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or other alcohol-based cleaners on any interior surfaces.
Stainless Steel Exterior Surfaces
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply it with a lint-free, soft cloth. To polish, gently wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth dampened with water and use a dry polishing pad. Always follow the grain of the stainless steel.
Cleaning of the Products with Glass Doors
Remove the protective foil on the glasses.
There is a coating on the surface of the glasses. This coating minimizes formation of stains and provides easy cleaning of the stains and dirts that have been formed. Glass without protective coating can quickly and easily become permanently bonded by organic or inorganic air and water-borne contaminants such as limestone, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and silicones that cause staining and physical damage. Despite regularly cleaning, keeping the glass clean becomes very difficult, even if not impossible. As a result, the clarity and appearance of the glass deteriorates. Harsh and abrasive cleaning methods and compounds further exacerbate these defects and accelerate the degradation process.
For routine cleaning processes, *non-alkaline and non-corrosive water based cleaning agents shall be used.
A tempering process is applied to increase the resistance of these glasses against impacts and breakage.
As an additional safety precaution, a safety film has been applied to the rear surface of these glasses to prevent harm to the environment in case it breaks.
Preventing Bad Odors
No substances that could cause odor are used in the production of your product. However, odors may arise due to improper food storage and failure to properly clean the product's interior surface.
- To prevent this problem, clean with baking soda water every 15 days.
- Store food in sealed containers, as microorganisms released from open food can cause bad odors.
- Never store expired or spoiled food in your product.
Tea is one of the most effective odour removers. Place the pulp of the brewed tea in the product inside an open container and remove it after 12 hours at the latest. If you keep the tea pulp inside the product for longer than 12 hours, it will collect the organisms that cause the odour so it can be the source of odour itself.
Protection of Plastic Surfaces
If oil spills on plastic surfaces, clean them immediately with warm water, as the oil can damage the surface.
