Oven Light Bulb Replacement

CAUTION:

Before replacing the light bulb, be certain the Oven Light Switch is in the off position. Let bulb and cover cool completely before touching. If the light bulb glass comes loose from the base, turn the power to the oven OFF at the circuit breaker panel before attempting to remove the bulb base from the socket.

Replace only with a recommended light bulb designed for appliance oven use. DO NOT USE a standard household

light bulb in any oven. Call THERMADOR® Customer Care

Center at 1-800-735-4328 or your nearest THERMADOR® dealer to determine the proper replacement bulb for your range. You will need to know your range’s model number and serial number.

To Replace the Light Bulb:

Use only 10 Watt, 12 Volt bi-pin halogen light bulbs. Use a clean, dry cloth to handle halogen light bulbs. This will increase the life of the bulb.
