refrigerator in unsealed containers as they may
damage the plastic surfaces.
In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic
surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the
surface at once with warm water.
Replacing the light bulb
1. Switch off at the wall socket and pull out the mains
plug.
• Shelves may be removed for easy access.
2. Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the light
diffuser cover by inserting the blade into each of the
two recesses to prise off each side.
3. First check that the bulb is not loose by ensuring it
is securely screwed into the holder. Refit the plug and
switch on. If the bulb works, replace the light cover by
inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the
front two lugs.

socket and pull out the mains plug. Replace the bulb
with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.
