of the socket.
• Remove all food.
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator and dry it as described
during cleaning.
• Leave the door open while the refrigerator is turned off to
avoid odors.
Cleaning:

erator by pulling the plug out of the socket.
• Use water and non-abrasive cleaners.
• Clean the refrigerator using a soft cloth with this cleaning
solution and wipe it with a dry cloth.
• Remember to clean the thaw drain, which is located at the
back, just above the glass.
Replacing the bulb
If the light does not work, switch off the power at the mains and
unplug. Then make sure that the bulb is screwed firmly into the
socket. Plug in and turn on the fridge. If the light still does not
work, replace the bulb. Purchase a new bulb (E14, max. 15W)
from an electrical store. The old bulb should immediately be dis-
posed of in the proper manner.
