To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise
1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover
clear the grooves of the socket. Remove
the bulb.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass
cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
NOTE:
■
A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than
a standard 40-watt household bulb.
■ Install and tighten the cover clockwise.
■ Reconnect electrical power to the oven.
■ For improved lighting inside the oven, clean
the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth.
This should be done when the oven is

Oven Light Replacement
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.
