To remove:
1. Turn the glass cover counterclockwise until the glass
is removed. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better
grip.
2. Remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
1. Use a new 120/130-volt halogen bulb, not to exceed
50 watts. Replace the bulb with the same type of bulb
that was removed. Be sure the replacement bulb is
rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT 12 volts) and has a
G9 base.
2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its
packaging. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers. Oil
from skin will damage the bulb and shorten its life.
3. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.
4. Replace the glass cover. For improved lighting inside
the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a
wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is
completely cool and the light is off.
5. Reconnect electrical power to the oven.
