- Disconnect electrical power to the oven 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. 26
- Wait until the glass cover and bulb are cool.
- Turn the glass cover counterclockwise to remove it. Wearing latex gloves may give a better grip.
- Pull the old bulb straight out using gloves or a dry cloth.
- Push a new 120/130-volt halogen bulb of up to 50 watts and a G9 base straight into the receptacle. Do not touch the new bulb with bare fingers.
- Replace the glass cover, then reconnect electrical power to the oven.
The replacement bulb must be rated 120 or 130 volts, not 12 volts. Some models use a 40-watt appliance bulb behind a cover with tabs: turn the cover a quarter turn counterclockwise, unscrew the bulb counterclockwise, screw in the new bulb clockwise and turn the cover a quarter turn clockwise.
