Cleaning
Shield and Reflector
— WARNING —
Before cleaning/removing the shield or bulb,
turn OFF the light and allow it to cool.
Failure to do so can cause a burning injury.
Also, if the shield is not re-installed properly,
it may fall off and cause an injury.
1. Remove the shield by squeezing the ends
towards each other and pulling forward.
2. Wrap the bulb in a tissue and gently pull the
bulb out of the socket.
Plastic
Light
Shield
5. Gently wash the plastic light shield using a
mild liquid detergent and water only, then
dry using a soft tissue or soft cloth.
6. Replace the light shield by gently squeezing
the sides of the shield and pushing it into the
housing. When the shield seats properly, a
definite "pop" will be heard.
Painted Surfaces
1. To clean the painted surfaces, use a typical
alcohol-free, commercial cleaner or a
solution of mild liquid detergent and water.
— CAUTION —
All surface disinfectants cause varying degrees
of discoloration to light-colored surfaces.
2. After washing, a disinfectant may be used
following the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Daily cleaning with soap and water or a
neutralizer for iodophors may reduce discoloration.
— CAUTION —
Touching the bulb glass may significantly
shorten the bulb life. Exercise care to avoid
having direct finger contact with the bulb.
If the bulb was touched, wipe it clean with
denatured alcohol before turning on the light.
3. Use a soft, clean tissue or cloth dampened
with denatured alcohol only and gently
wipe the glass reflector and bulb.
4. While holding the bulb in a tissue, carefully
replace the bulb in the socket.

Bulb Replacement
— WARNING —
Before removing the shield or bulb, turn OFF
the light and allow it to cool.
Refer to the warning at the top of this page.
1. Remove the shield by squeezing the ends
towards each other and pulling forward.
Gently pull the old bulb out of the socket.
2. Remove the new bulb from the box and slit
the plastic envelope, which encloses the bulb,
allowing the contact pins to protrude.
3. Hold the bulb with the plastic covering it,
and insert the pins into the lamp socket
pushing until it "bottoms out" and the glass
is in close proximity to the socket (about
1/16"). Then remove the plastic covering.
See Caution Note if bulb glass is touched.
4. Replace the light shield by gently squeezing
the sides of the shield and pushing it into the
housing. When the shield seats properly, a
definite "pop" will be heard.
