Sears 45320 - Manual (Page 14)

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT
Be sure that the light switch is in the off position.
Do not touch hot oven bulb. Do not touch oven
bulb with wet hands. Do not wipe oven light area
with wet cloth.
Never touch the electrically live collar on the
bulb when, replacing it.
Electrical power must be shut off if you have to
replace a brok«i bulb.
Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb. An
appliance bulb Is smaller than a standard 40 watt
household bulb and Is made to withstand high oven
temperatures and have a much longer bulb life.
Note: We recommend you use a 40 watt appi lance bulb
that Is no longer than 31/2". The bulb Is avail­
able at your Sears Store or Sears Service Center.
