How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do
not use any sharp items to remove the
film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging
tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and
allow to soak.
NOTE:
The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Oven Light Bulbs
NOTE:
The glass cover should be
removed only when cold. Wearing latex
gloves may offer a better grip.
CAUTION
:
Before replacing your
oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical
power to the oven at the main fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb
cool completely.
For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb
with bare hands or a damp cloth.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover
counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the
tabs of the glass cover clear the
grooves of the socket.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
Use a new 130-volt Halogen bulb,
not to exceed 50 watts.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers.
Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
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.
Reconnect electrical power to
the oven.
