Marked WARNING by the manufacturer Source: Care and Cleaning: Oven Light, p. 23
- Disconnect electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
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.
Marked CAUTION by the manufacturer Source: Care and Cleaning: Oven Light, p. 23
- Wait until the glass cover and bulb are cool.
- Turn the glass cover counterclockwise to remove it, or, on models with a wire-held cover, slide the wire cover holder at the indent until the cover releases. Do not remove any screws.
- Remove the old bulb. Pull a G9 bulb straight out, or turn a 40-watt bulb counterclockwise.
- Install a bulb of the same type. Handle a G9 halogen bulb with gloves or a dry cloth, push it all the way in, and turn a 40-watt bulb clockwise until it is tight.
- Replace the glass cover.
- Reconnect electrical power to the range.
Bulb types vary by model: a 120/130-volt G9 halogen bulb of up to 50 watts (120 or 130 volts, not 12 volts), or a 40-watt appliance bulb.
