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. 
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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.

1.  Fully open the door.

2.  Pull the hinge locks up and away from the range 

frame to the unlocked position.

3.  Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.

4.  Close door until the top of the door is approximately 

6” from the range frame.

5.  Lift door up and away from the range until both hinge 

arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.

To Replace the Door: 

1.  Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.

2.  With the door at the same angle as the removal 

position, rest the notch on the underside of the left 
hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. 
The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into 
the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.

seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the 
door off the range and repeat previous step.
