Replacing The Light Tubes - Rangemaster RWS38 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

Light Tube Replacement
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING
LIGHT TUBE REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so may result in
an electrical shock that could severely injure you.
The RWS38 uses one, 6 watt light tube and the RWS60DX
and RDZ60 use two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the
interior of the wine storage unit. The light tube is a very reli-
able electrical component, but should it not function prop-
erly, please call the dealer you purchased your wine storage
unit from for a replacement light tube. Use only an original
equipment light tube from your dealer or Rangemaster.
It may be necessary to remove 1 or 2 shelves directly below
the light tube to gain access for removal. See page 13 for
instructions on removing the shelves.
Do NOT under any circumstance use a light tube that ex-
ceeds 10 watts!
For Models RWS38 & RWS60DX
To replace a light tube, use a hex-head driver, remove the
two hex-head screws that hold a cover plate over the back
section of the light tube. Set the screws and cover plate
aside for reassembly later.
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever the front
section of the light tube down to allow it to be pulled clear of
the light housing.
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors from the
cabinet's electrical cable and discard the old light tube. Re-
connect the electrical connector of the new light tube to the
cabinet's electrical cable connectors. Make sure it is secure
and fully installed.
Carefully realign the light tube's electrical terminal back into
the rear of the light enclosure channel making sure not to
crimp them. Gently insert the light tube along the length of
the light enclosure channel. Press the light tube gently into
the light enclosure channel. Only a small part of the light
tube should project below the ceiling of the wine storage
unit. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT THE LIGHT TUBE.
Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in the original
position on the light enclosure's flange. Reuse the original
two screws to secure it in place. Plug the wine storage unit
into the electrical socket. Check to see if the light tube oper-
ates properly. Your light tube's replacement is complete.
For model RDZ60:
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the
interior of the dual zone wine storage unit: one in the up-
per compartment and one in the lower compartment. The
upper compartment light tube is located behind the display
housing. The lower compartment light tube is located on
the underside of the divider that separates the compart-
ments.
To replace the light tube, disconnect power to the unit. Use
a hex-head driver to remove the two hex-head screws hold-
ing the old light tube in place. Disconnect the electrical plug
from the cabinet's electrical receptacle and discard the old
light tube. Reconnect the electrical plug of the new light
tube to the cabinet's electrical receptacle. Make sure it is
secure and fully installed.
Using the hex-head driver and the two hex-head screws
secure the light tube in place. Plug the unit into the electri-
cal socket. Check to see if the light tube operates properly.
Your light tube's replacement is complete.
The light tubes are not covered by your warranty. Replace-
ment tubes can be obtained from your dealer or from
Rangemaster.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as possible.
Minimize the number of door openings while the power is
off so as not to adversely affect the unit's temperature.
