Oven Light Replacement (on some models)
To remove:
1. Remove all the accessories for better access to the oven light.
2. Turn the glass cover counterclockwise until the glass is removed.
Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
3. Remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
1. Use a new 120-volt and 25 watt halogen bulb. Replace the bulb with the
same type of bulb that was removed. Be sure the replacement bulb is
rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT 12 volts) and has a G9 base.
2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers. Oil from skin will damage the bulb and
shorten its life.
3. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.
4. Replace the glass cover. For improved lighting inside the oven, clean
the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when
the oven is completely cool and the light is off.
5. Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

burning smell during oven operation.
Ensure that the baking tray, oven rack, and drip tray are thoroughly clean before each use.
The heating elements of the oven turn on and off intermittently to maintain the set oven temperature. This
is normal behavior and not a malfunction.
