Surface Lamps

The surface lamps are 120 VAC, 20 or 50 watt
(maximum) halogen bulbs (Part # WB08X10051).
To remove surface lamp assemblies:
1. Remove the Phillips-head screw from the
surface lens panel, then open the panel.
Note: Do not touch the surface of a quartz halogen
bulb with bare fi ngers. The quartz surface will be
exposed to the salts and oils on the skin. This will
cause heat to concentrate in this area and lead to
premature lamp failure. If you happen to contact
the bulb with your fi ngers, carefully clean the quartz
surface with a gentle solvent, such as alcohol.
2. Carefully remove the defective halogen bulb(s),
then, using gloves or a cloth to hold it, carefully
replace the defective bulb(s).
