REPLACING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB

Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows.

1.Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

• Remove all shelves and drawers for easy access.

2.Use a flat tipped screwdriver to gently remove the light diffuser cover by inserting the blade to prise off each side. Take care not to damage the plastic cover and inner liner.

3.First check that the bulb hasn’t worked loose by ensuring it is screwed securely in the holder. Replace 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.

4.If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.

5.Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store.
