Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
Oven Light Bulb Replacement
CAUTION:
•
Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and
power to the appliance has been turned off before
replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could
result in electrical shock or burns.
•
The covers must be in place when using the
appliance.
•
The covers serve to protect the light bulb from
breaking.
•
The covers are made of glass. Handle carefully to
avoid breaking. Broken glass could cause an injury.
•
The light socket is live when the door is open.
Replace only with a recommended light bulb designed for
appliance oven use. DO NOT USE a standard household
light bulb in any oven. Call THERMADOR Customer Care
Center at 1-800-735-4328 or your nearest THERMADOR
dealer to determine the proper replacement bulb for your
range. You will need to know your range's model number
and serial number.
To Replace the Light Bulb:
For bulb replacement, any commercially available bulb with
the following specification can be used: 120 or 130 VAC,
50 W max., G8 base, Halogen. Use a clean, dry cloth to
handle halogen light bulbs. This will increase the life of the
bulb.

4. Support the glass lens cover with two fingers along the
bottom edge to prevent the cover from falling to the
bottom of the oven. Gently twist the flat blade screw
driver to loosen the glass lens cover.

6. Remove the bulb by grasping and sliding the bulb
straight back until the two prongs have cleared the
ceramic holder (Figure 35, B).
7. Do not touch the glass of the new replacement bulb
with your fingers. It may cause the bulb to fail when it
first lights. Grasp the replacement bulb with a clean dry
cloth. Locate the two prongs in the ceramic holder,
gently poking until the two prongs locate in the ceramic
socket.
8. Press down to seat the bulb (Figure 35, C).
