Fridge Smells

Fridge smells

Your fridge smells?

If your fridge stinks then it’s high time for some cleaning. First, switch your fridge off. The safest way is to unplug your appliance or turn it off at the fuse. Remove your food and store it in a cool place. If you have an ice pack, place it on top of the food. Clean your appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and pH neutral cleaning product. While cleaning your fridge to remove smells, please only clean the seal using clean water, as cleaning products are too aggressive for the sensitive rubber and will erode it. Wipe down the door seal before drying it thoroughly. When you have finished cleaning you can reconnect your fridge, switch it on and put your food back as usual. If you want to make light work of removing unpleasant smells from your fridge, then use the special Bosch refrigerator cleaner.
