Changing the light bulb

supply, then replace the bulb as follows;

cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Unscrew the bulb and replace it with one of the
same power (the maximum power is shown on the
light diffuser) available from your nearest Service

position.
Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time
the compressor stops.The water is discharged,via
the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the
appliance above the compressor, where it
evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and
vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before
replacing.
