may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the
range as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface
element.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may
become hot and cause burns.
leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire
hazard.
DO NOT
pour spirits over hot foods.
DO NOT
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
Child Safety
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be
unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.
Child Safety (cont.)
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing
to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children
should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you
know which knob controls which surface element. Make sure the correct
element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before
removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially
when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element or in the oven.
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders
because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before
attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or
near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent
grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When “flaming” foods under
the hood, TURN THE FAN OFF.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or longsleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders.
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must
be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.

as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.
The food could be contaminated
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
Cookware Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay
cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans.
Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled
with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan
will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over
adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by
small children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the
appliance.
•
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.
• Only certain types of glass/ceramic, ceramic glazed cookware are suitable
for oven without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional
cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface
units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of
devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual
can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Using the Oven
Preheat
For best results, it is extremely
important that you preheat your
oven to the desired cooking
temperature before placing food
items in the oven to begin cooking. In
many cooking modes, partial power from the
broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat
temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the
oven during the preheat mode is not recommended.
The Viking Rapid Ready™ Preheat System is engineered so that
Conventional and Convection Cooking
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,
some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional
bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended
when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other
foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake.
This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique
which utilizes fan forced air to circulate heat throughout the entire
oven creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with
convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for
baking heavier foods.
the oven is brought to the desired set temperature in a manner which
will provide the optimum cooking environment based on the selected
cooking mode in the shortest possible time.
Conventional and Convection Cooking Tips
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9° C) and the cooking
For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec™ is designed to be
brought up to the set point temperature in a different manner than the
preheat mode for conventional bake. This is because TruConvec™ is
designed for multi-rack baking. So it is extremely critical that all rack
positions have reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it
is normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven to preheat to
350°F in TruConvec™ mode when compared to the amount of time it
takes to preheat the oven cavity to 350°F in conventional bake mode.
time by approximately 10 to 15%.
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the
same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller
load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time.
(Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or
cooking large loads.)
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it
is possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time. This is
especially true for large items cooked in the convection roast
Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as
room temperature and power supply. A significantly colder room
temperature or a power supply less than 240 VAC can lengthen the
time it takes for the oven to reach the desired set temperature.
Operation
function.
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods
in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods
that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include:
pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience
foods.

• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,
and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3
and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.
See “Oven Features” illustration.
• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven
just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right
after they are set out of the oven.

Baking
Conventional and Convection Cooking Tips (cont.)
• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to
convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by
preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving
acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the
similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction
during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a
time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the
convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time
until satisfactory results are achieved.
roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high
Pan Placement Tips
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of
the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one
of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th positions or the 3rd
and 5th positions for more even baking. When baking on three
racks, use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more
consistent results.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans
are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly
above another.
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even
air circulation.

temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and
cold spots found in conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection
baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks—a
feature not possible in a standard oven.
BAKE (Two-Element Bake)
Full power heat is radiated
from the bake element in the
bottom of the oven cavity and
supplemental heat is radiated
from the broil element. This
function is recommended for
single rack baking. Many
cookbooks contain recipes to
be cooked in the conventional
manner. Conventional baking/

When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing
meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on
the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be
baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even
when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The hot
air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use this
setting for baking and roasting.

TRU CONV (TruConvec™)
The rear element only operates
at full power. There is no direct
heat from the bottom or top
elements. The motorized fan in
the rear of the oven circulates
air in the oven cavity for even
heating. Use this setting for
foods that require gentle
cooking such as pastries,
souffles, yeast breads, quick
breads and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out
evenly textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware is required.
Use this function for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting,
and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also recommended
when baking large quantities of baked goods at one time.
Baking Tips
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired positions before turning
the oven on.
•
DO NOT open the oven door frequently during baking. If you must
open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking
time.
• Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in
the center of the product should come clean when done.
•Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure
best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be

baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use
of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tincoated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Roasting
CONV ROAST*
(Convection Roast)
The convection element runs in
conjuction with the inner and
outer broil elements. The
reversible convection fan runs at
a higher speed in each
direction. This transfer of heat
(mainly from the convection
element) seals moisture inside
of large roasts. A time savings is
gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this
setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.
*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum
cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan
speed. This is normal.
Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking”
section for additional information.
Roasting Tips (cont.)
• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part
of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat
temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After
reading the thermometer once, insert it
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature
registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.
• Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and quality
of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in
the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking
techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the
thermometer registers 5° F (-15° C) to 10° F (-12° C) lower than the
desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from
the oven. Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in
order to make carving easier.
1
⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) further into
Roasting Tips
ALWAYS use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The
hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted.
DO NOT cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in
juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light,
crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats
and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or
Operation
poultry to stand at room temperature.
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9° C) and the cooking
time by approximately 10 to 15%.
• ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting
rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add
water to the pan as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry
heat process.
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan.
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.
• For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.
• If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional
bake setting rather than either convection setting.

CONV BROIL*
(Convection Broil)
The top element operates at full
power. This function is exactly the
same as regular broiling with the
additional benefit of air circulation
by the motorized fan in the rear of
the oven. Smoke is reduced since
the airflow also reduces peak
temperatures on the food. Use
this setting for broiling thick cuts
of meats.
*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum

speed. This is normal.
HI BROIL
Heat radiates from both broil
elements, located in the top of
the oven cavity, at full power. The
distance between the foods and

food may be as close as 2 inches
(5 cm) to the broil element or on
the top rack. Fast broiling is best
for meats where rare to medium

doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts
of meat.
LOW BROIL
This mode uses only a fraction
of the available power to the
inner broil element for delicate
top-browning. The inner broil
element is on for only part of
the time. Use this setting to
gently brown meringue on racks
3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.
Broiling Instructions
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is
used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties.
Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and
the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.
Conventional broiling (LOW, MED or HI BROIL) is most successful for
cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of
meat.
Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food
slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats
produces better results, especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on
the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with
less shrinkage.
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
broiler on.
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the
temperature control knob to “Broil”.
Operation
MED BROIL
Inner and outer broil elements
pulse on and off to produce less
heat for slow broiling. Allow about
4 inches (10 cm) between the top
surface of the food and the broil
element. Slow broiling is best for
chicken and ham in order to broil
food without over-browning it.
Use this setting for broiling small
and average cuts of meat.
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open
broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does
not cycle on and off. With closed door broiling the broil element
might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required.
A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce
smoke and odors.

Broiling Tips
• ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are
designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from
the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.
• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended
time, season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.
•
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or
removing food.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the
food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated
oven after broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel
over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour
water over grid. This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or the
broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning
easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan. Although
it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be
sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so
melted fat can drain through to prevent spattering, smoking, or
the possibility of grease fire.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard
porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass
ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cream to the cool soiled area
using a damp paper towel.
2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing
scratches and abrasions.
For heavy, burned soil:
1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled
area using a damp paper towel.
2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade.
Hold the blade at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.
3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional
protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface
with the cleaning cream.
4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves
a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to
prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make
future cleaning easier. Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this
protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more
susceptible to staining.

Cooktop Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS
SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS.
THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. The oven features a self-clean
cycle for the oven interior. See the “Self-Clean Cycle” section for completeinstructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE
CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY
CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for
that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to
remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the
material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a
metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.
DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as
citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives or stainless
steel cleaners on any surface that contains graphics. These products
could remove the graphics from the control panel. Apply hot, soapy
water to a soft clean cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly onto the
control panel.

Self-Clean Cycle
Brass Parts
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.
To avoid the risk of property damage, DO NOT USE BRASS
CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON ANY BRASS PARTS. All
brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water.
When hot soapy water will not do the job, use every day household
cleaners that are not abrasive.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled
steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a
soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS OR RACK
SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain damage due
to the extreme heat of the self-clean cycle.
Power Failure
No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.
Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only
when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will
function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not
affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the
range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until
power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls off
and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with
the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven
after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically
activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the
door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The
high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor, warp, and
damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the
self-clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use
oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the
door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle
begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to clean if
not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and
up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns
or electrical shock.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the
touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,

there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in
the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent selfcleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning
cycle.

Self-Clean Cycle
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
Replacing Oven Lights
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the
knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within
30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator
light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven
reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off
during the self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated
temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light
comes on.
4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is
completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe
temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 3-1/2 hours with an
additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for
the door latch to disengage.
Note: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will
continue to run for the 3-1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and
temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the oven has
completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven
surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature
control knob and the oven function selector knob to “OFF”. When the
oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch
will release and the oven door can be opened. When the oven has
completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp
sponge or cloth.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
To avoid risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch bulb with bare
hands. Clean off any signs of oil from the bulb and handle with a
soft cloth.
1. Unsnap glass light cover
using a screwdriver in the
access groove.
2. Firmly grasp light bulb and
pull out.
3. Replace with halogen bulb
using volt and wattage
requirements listed on glass
cover.
4. Replace the light cover by
snapping glass cover onto
metal box.
