4. Installation

• Let a lamp cool down for 5 to 10 minutes before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can
reach 700°C during operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or
remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than what this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "Technical
Specifications"):
1. Unscrew and remove the protective grid.
2. Carefully take out the old lamp and insert the new lamp into the socket.
3. Replace the protective grid and tighten the screws.
