Oven Light Replacement (on some models)WARNING: SHOCK OR

BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.

CAUTION: BURN HAZARD: The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

To remove:

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace:

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. Your model will have one of the two types shown on the left. To determine the correct replacement bulb, check the bulb terminals. Bulbs with 2 straight pin terminals are G6.35 bulbs. Bulbs with 2 looped terminals are G9 bulbs. (Do not interchange.) Be sure the replacement bulb is rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT 12 volts).

Receptacle

Use gloves or cloth

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.

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 range.
