halogen lamps.

3. After removing the thumb screw, pull off socket assembly protec-
tive cover.
4. Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.

order.

to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the
lamps with your bare fingers as the oil from your
hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the
fixture until the lamps have had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty
