Changing the Halogen Lamp
• Before you change the lamp, it is abso-
lutely necessary to unplug the power
plug from the base to prevent the risk of elec-
tric shock!
The halogen lamp becomes very hot
during operation. Therefore, to avoid
being burned, let the base cool off for approx.
10 minutes after switching it off!
• Do not touch new halogen lamps with
your bare fingers—this drastically
reduces the service life of the lamp!
Changing bulbs
1. Unscrew the two screws on the cooling unit
and pull the cooling unit out, along with
the lamp.
2. Carefully pull out the lamp and mount by
pulling them upwards.
3. Disconnect the lamp from the mount.
4. Insert the new lamp into the mount and
reinsert the lamp holder.
Precautionary measures
• When inserting the lamp, ensure that
the cables are inside the two metal
clamps. This prevents the cables from getting
caught during insertion.
