Oven Door

NOTE: 

The glass cover should be removed only when 

cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to 

the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let 

the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your 

safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you 

do the bulb may break.

To remove: 

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the 

tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket 

and pull the cover off. 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.

■   

Reconnect electrical 

power to the oven once 

the new bulb is installed.

■   

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.
