hour before proceeding.
2. Remove the plastic air exhaust grille/cover by
removing two screws with a #2 (large) Phillips

the three shiny screws securing the lamp cartridge
until they disengage from the mating threads.

the old cartridge straight out towards you. Note the

tighten the three screws. If using a screwdriver,
