How do you replace the lamp in this machine? I'm assuming the whole outer cover has to come off, as I don't see any other way.

Before I take it off, what kind of lamp do I need?

I'm pretty sure this one uses a 20w 230v SES pigmy bulb - pretty standard stuff really.
The top cover has to come off, but make sure the thing has been switched off for a few hours as there are some heavy duty capacitors inside.

If you can't buy the bulb locally, try Screwfix as they stocked the bulb for my microwave that no-one else did...apparently it's not a 'standard' bulb but one peculiar to Japanese/American white goods.

Burnerman- Got the top case off. See what you mean about capacitors! Bulb is indeed 20W SES, but see below.

Nicam49- I see what you mean about the bulb! The "pear shaped" ones (larger diameter at the top) don't fit. Luckily I had a parallel sided one in by box of spare bulbs! Something to bear in mind for anyone else with the same problem.

Many thanks guys.
