Oven Light (some models)
The oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some
models also have a switch to turn the light on when the door is dosed.
This switch is found either on the top fight corner of the oven door
or on the control panel.
The oven light is located at the rear of the oven. It is covered
with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must
be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the light:
1. Turn power off at main power source or unplug the range.
CAUTION: Be sure the oven is COOL.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb.
