4. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down for 5 to 10 minutes before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can
reach 700°C during 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 than what this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see “Technical
Specifications”):
1. Unscrew and remove the protective grid.
2. Carefully take out the old lamp and insert the new lamp into the socket.
3. Replace the protective grid and tighten the screws.
Remark: Do not use the device without grid

without deforming.
