REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD - Make sure the power has been shut off to the range. The light
socket is energized when the door is open. Failure to shut off the power when replacing a light bulb
could result in electric shock or burns.
Make sure the glass lens is cool to the touch. Use care when handling the lens, it is fragile and can
break if dropped.
Use only 20 watt, 12 Volt, halogen “Bi-Pin” bulbs suitable for appliance oven use. This type of
bulb may be available at hardware stores & home centers, or specialty lighting stores. Call Hestan
Customer Care for more information.
1. MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF! Open the oven and remove the oven racks and ladder racks if they
are in the way.
2. Place a thick towel or cloth on the oven floor below the lamp to catch the glass lens should it fall.
3. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to carefully pry off the glass lens and set aside. Reach into the
lamp housing and pull out the old light bulb as shown in the image below.
4. Before installation, it is very important to clean the new bulb carefully with a clean, soft cloth, or
tissue paper. Grease, fingerprints, or oils in your skin can leave a residue on the glass surface of
the bulb which will create a hot-spot. The bulb will eventually crack at this hot-spot.
5. While still using a cloth or tissue paper, insert the new bulb in the lamp housing. Push the bulb
fully into the socket.
6. Re-install the glass lens taking note of the cutaway in the glass which aligns with the bulb socket.
7. Restore the power and check if the new bulb is working. Re-install any racks you removed earlier.
