Oven Light Replacement (on some models)

completely.
To remove the cover:
Hold a hand under the cover so
it doesn’t fall when released. With
fingers of the same hand, firmly push
back the wire cover holder. Lift off the
cover.
Do not remove any screws to remove
the cover.
Replace bulb with a 40-watt
appliance bulb.
To replace the cover:
Place it into groove of the light
receptacle. Pull wire forward to the
center of the cover until it snaps into

Oven Light Replacement (on some models)
To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise
1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass
cover clear the grooves of the socket.
Wearing latex gloves may offer
a better grip.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
Use a new 120/130-volt halogen bulb,
not to exceed 50 watts. Replace the
bulb with the same type of bulb that
was removed. Your model will have
one of the two types shown on
the left. To determine the correct
replacement bulb, check the bulb
terminals. Bulbs with 2 straight pin
terminals are G6.35 bulbs. Bulbs
with 2 looped terminals are G9 bulbs.
(Do not interchange.) Be sure the
replacement bulb is rated 120 volts
or 130 volts (NOT 12 volts).
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers. Oil
from skin will damage the bulb and
shorten its life.
Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
For improved lighting inside the oven,
clean the glass cover frequently using
a wet cloth. This should be done when
the oven is completely cool.
Reconnect electrical power to
the oven.
