•Dry with a soft cloth.

•Do not use pot scorers or abrasive powders to clean the refrigerator.

•Spillages, especially citric and acidic juices, must be wiped up immediately as they could stain the interior of the refrigerator.

•Shelves and freezer baskets, where fitted, may be removed for cleaning purposes.

•The back of the refrigerator may be vacuumed or dusted using a soft bristle brush.

•A mild furniture polish may be used on the exterior cabinet to add lustre and protect against finger marks.

Protection of plastic surfaces

Replacing the Interior Light Bulb

(See diagrams on following page)

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.Illumination covers in freezer and fridge sections are opened by pressing by hand; first release one side and then the other by pressing on the sides as shown in the figures on the following page.

3.First check that the bulb has not worked loose by ensuring that it is screwed securely into the holder. Reinsert the plug and switch on. If the bulb works, reinstall 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 E14 (SES) bulb.

5.Carefully dispose of the burntout light bulb immediately.

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