Replacing the Light Bulb

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect power.

To avoid severe burns, do not touch light bulb or hot surfaces. Light bulbs and surrounding surfaces may be hot.

1. Raise the glass canopy and ensure that the gas shocks support its weight before proceeding.

   

2. Carefully remove the old bulb and discard.

   

3. Visually inspect socket to ensure there is no debris or damage that may impede bulb installation.

   NOTICE -

   To help prevent a short bulb life: Do not over-tighten the bulb. Over-tightening will damage the contact end of the bulb and compress the contact tab in the socket. Do not install the bulb with the power on. During normal operation, the socket is exposed to various food related agents, such as moisture and grease. When installing a new bulb with the power on, the spark that occurs when the bulb contact touches the socket, places a deposit on the bottom of the bulb. This deposit results in a higher amp draw and shorter bulb life.

4. Install the replacement bulb. Tighten using a gentle pressure.
