Refrigerator BEKO CS 325000: instruction for use
Using BEKO refrigerators is quite convenient. Of course, this model is budgetary, and therefore various kinds of modern "bells and whistles" that make life easier for the hostess are absent in it. No, for example, in this refrigerator such a function as No Frost. Therefore, it is necessary to defrost it manually. It is supposed to do this once every six months. But, according to many housewives, this operation is not too complicated. Ice and snow on the walls of the freezer of the refrigerator are formed in very small quantities. Defrosting is carried out in the usual way. I.e:
All products are taken out of the refrigerator. Frozen meat, minced meat and fish should be put in a large metal cup and covered with a film on top. So you can prevent them from thawing.
The doors of the refrigerator and freezer open.
After a few hours, the surface of the chamber is wiped with a moistened, and then dry, soft cloth from the inside.

Refrigerator shelves
Of course, in this model you need to take care not only of the freezer. The inside of the refrigerator should also be washed from time to time. Shelves in this model use glass. Of course, this improves the design of the refrigerator and gives it a modern look. However, glass accessories have one significant drawback. Unlike trellised ones, such shelves delay air circulation inside the refrigerator. Therefore, even despite the presence of an antibacterial coating of the walls, in the absence of proper care, the products in the chamber over time begin to be saturated with unpleasant odors. Therefore, wipe the interior of the BEKO refrigerator at least once a week. Of course, the glass shelves themselves should also be washed.
