Lamp

operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove
it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They get hotter than this device was designed for.
• Do not operate the device as long as the lamp is not securely fastened or the cover still opened.

To replace the lamp:
