Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following recommendations:

1.Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

3.Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Changing the Halogen Oven Light

The oven lights will automatically turn ON when the oven door is opened. The oven lights may also be manually operated by pressing the pad.

The oven light bulb is covered with a glass shield. The glass shield can be removed to be cleaned manually or to change oven light. THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.

To replace the light bulb:

CAUTION: BE SURE THE OVEN IS COOL.

1.Turn the power off at the main source.

2.Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

3.To remove the glass shield, lift up on side and use force to pull shield out.

4.Replace halogen light appliance bulb taking care not to touch the bulb with your bare fingers. Touching bulb with your skin can leave a film on the bulb that causes it to burn out quickly.

5.Replace glass shield in opposite order and manner of removal.
