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.
