CARE AND CLEANING

Replacing the Oven Light

Replacing the oven interior light bulb:

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven 
cavity and are covered with a glass shield. The glass shield 
must be in place whenever the oven is in use (

Figure 43

).

1.

Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug 
the appliance.

2.

Remove interior oven light shield after removing the 
wire holder by carefully moving the wire to the side of 
the glass shield. The tension from the wire holds the 
glass shield in place. 

3.

Pull the shield straight out. Do not twist or turn.

4.

Replace bulb with a new appliance bulb. 

5.

Replace glass oven light shield. Replace wire holder.

6.

Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug 
the appliance back in).

7.

Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool 
before replacing oven light.
