REPLACING OVERHEAD HEAT LAMPS

Overhead Halogen and Merco lamps are designed to last through many hours of use. Should there be a need to replace one, it is as simple as replacing a standard fluorescent light bulb.

The Heat lamps used in these cases get EXTREMELY HOT! NEVER touch a lamp until the case has had ample time to cool down! It is also highly recommended to handle lamps with gloves or use a cloth rag - not just for the heat factor, but also the oils in your fingers will drastically shorten the life of the lamp.

1.Turn light switch to OFF before replacing any lighting components.

2.Disconnect light fixture by removing power cord

from socket in the right rear interior corner of the merchandiser.

3.Place the shelf on a flat surface to remove the clear plastic protective shield from the fixture. Carefully insert one finger between the fixture socket and the protective shield. Use other hand to "pinch" lens cover (and simultaneously hold the fixture in place) while lifting with inserted finger.When shield separates from fixture at one end, remove it by SLOWLY pulling remainder of shield away from fixture.

4.Remove lamp by depressing spring loaded socket at end of fixture, and swinging opposite end of lamp from it's former position.

5.Using gloves or covering for lamp, insert new lamp into spring loaded socket, depressing socket until opposite end of lamp properly enters stationary light socket.

6.Return lamp to original position by lightly pinching it in from each side, and inserting shield flanges into fixture channel. Continue process along length of lamp shield until it is in it's final proper position.
