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.

To Replace the Light Bulb:

1.Make sure that oven light switch is in the OFF position .

2.Remove the light cover -

With a flat-blade screwdriver in one hand, use the screwdriver as a small wedge to gently pry apart the glass cover from the metal housing and hold the glass in the other hand as it releases from the housing.

3.Remove the burned-out bulb. Replace it with a recommended appliance light bulb only. Do not touch bulb with fingers. Follow the bulb manufacturer's instructions.

4.Replace the glass cover by aligning it with the housing and pressing on both ends of the glass, with equal force, until the cover snaps into position. Avoid applying excessive force on the glass.

Power Failure

•In the event of a power failure, only the standard burners can be lighted manually. It is necessary to light each standard burner individually.

•If the range's cooktop is being used when the power failure occurs turn all of the burner control knobs to the OFF position. The standard burners can be lighted by holding a match at the ports and turning the control

knob to the position. Wait until the flame is burning all the way around the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired height. The two ExtraLow® burners on the left side cannot be used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them OFF if a power failure occurs because they will not turn back on until the control knobs are turned OFF and then turned back on again. See “What to do if you Smell Gas”, inside front cover.

•If you have low gas pressure, contact your gas company.
