Oven Light; Troubleshooting - Whirlpool ELECTRIC RANGE User Instructions

The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. Before
replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the
control knobs are in the off position.
To Replace:
1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
The 120-volt appliance outlet located on the control console may
be used to run portable appliances placed on countertops beside
the range.
The outlet operates independently and is not affected by range
control settings.
NOTE: Do not place portable appliances on the cooktop. Damage
to the portable appliance could result if the cooktop is hot.
