On the right side there are two lamp wires connected to the bot-

5. NOTICE: When you disconnect the lamp wires to replace the
lamp, you will have to remember which wire went where. They
must be connected the same.
6. Push out the metal tabs on each side of the lamp, and pull out
the lamp as you do this. Replace the lamp with an exact match.
Connect the three wires to the ceramic blocks as they were when
