The light bulbs
The cooktop light
The fluorescent light is on the top of the
control panel. Use the Cooktop Light Switch
on the control panel to turn on the cooktop
light.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure power to the range has
been turned OFF at the main power
supply before replacing the fluorescent
tube.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock.
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect at main
power supply.
2. Flip up the top of the control panel.
3. Grasp the fluorescent tube at both ends.
Turn the tube away from you until both
ends come out of the receptacles. Re-
place with a 20-watt, cool-white fluores-
cent tube. If the cooktop light still does not
work, the starter may need to be replaced.
The starter is a knob-shaped part located
on the right side of the backguard, under
the light bulb. To remove the starter,
push it in and turn approximately 20"
away from you. Pull starter out of re-
cessed area. Replacement starters can
be found at stores that sell fluorescent
tubes.
4. Close the top panel. Plug in appliance or
reconnect at main power supply.
