Before carrying out the bulb replacement
always switch off
and disconnect the
electricity supply.
Use a flat tipped
screwdriver to
remove the light
cover by inserting
the tip into each of the two recesses to
prise off each side.
First check that the
bulb hasn’t worked
loose and that it is
screwed securely
into the holder. If the
bulb has failed
replace it with a new
one, 15W SES.
Replace the light
cover by inserting
the rear lug and
pushing up to
locate the two front
lugs.
Re-connect the fridge freezer to the electrical
supply and switch on.
If your appliance is to be out of service for
any length of time ensure that the interior
is carefully cleaned and dried. Leave the
door open and disconnect the plug from
the mains socket.
Carry out regular cleaning as described
previously.
Do not pack shelves too tightly or obstruct
the even distribution of cold air.
Do not leave the cold control at its coldest
setting longer than necessary, freezing of the
contents may occur.
If condensation appears on the outside of
your fridge freezer because it is in a cold
location, cleaning the outside with a good
wax furniture polish may help.
