proceed as follows:
- turn the thermostat (B) dial to the «OFF» position
(
■) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.
- Remove any food from inside the freezer and
fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and
store in a cool,dry place.
- Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper
under the channel in the centre of the lower part
of the appliance; place a low-sided container
beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).
- Clean and dry thoroughly.
- Replace the scraper in one of the drawers .
- Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset
the thermostat to a functioning position.
- After letting the appliance run for at least two
hours in fast freeze mode, replace the previously
removed food into the compartment.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar

External cleaning
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it
is recommended that the outer casing of this
appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a
little washing-up liquid added.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched
OFF.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see diagram.
