Switching off the refrigerator

If the refrigerator is to be out of use for some time, turn the thermostat knob to 0 (stop). Then
empty the compartments, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, and once it has

humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.

Replacing the refrigerator light bulb

Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped working simply because the
part inside the lamp socket has become loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the
socket is connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must be removed
from the power socket.
1. First, unplug the power cord; remove the screws from the
lamp cover with a screwdriver, then remove the lamp cover.
2. Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it by hand in a counter
clockwise direction.
3. Insert a new bulb (≤10W) by turning it manually clockwise,
replace the lamp cover and screw in with a screwdriver.
