The drain hole in my refrigerator is dirty/clogged, how do I clean it?

"There are special cleaning devices to do this, but it is also possible to remove blockage or dirt with a cotton swab. To keep the drain hole clean and prevent smells it is advisable to put a drop of chlorine bleach in the drain 4 times a year."

How to access the drain hole at the back of the fridge. I need instructions on how to remove the plastic parts which are hiding it. There are no screws visible and I cannot find them. Cannot find a way to remove the plastic parts behind which,I am informed, the drain hole is. Thank you.
