First unplug the oven. Then remove 
compartment cover by removing screw which
holds cover in place. Cover is located on the left
side of the outer case.

Replace with 25-watt appliance bulb. (It is available
in drugstores and hardware stores.) Replace
compartment cover. Plug in the oven.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)

WARNING-improper 

use of 

 

plug can result in a risk of electric shock. 

- -

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Where a
standard
two-prong
wall receptacle
is encountered,
it is your

personal
responsibility
and obligation
to have it
