Installation Instructions
Safety First: Before attempting any installation, ensure your oven is completely disconnected from its power source. Turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the oven to prevent electrical shock. Allow the oven and the old bulb to cool down completely before handling.
- Locate the Bulb: Open your oven door and locate the light bulb housing, typically on the back or side wall of the oven cavity.
- Remove Protective Cover (if applicable): Some ovens have a glass or metal cover protecting the bulb. Carefully remove this cover by unscrewing it or releasing its clips. Refer to your oven's specific manual for instructions on removing the cover.
- Remove Old Bulb: Gently pull the old bulb straight out from its socket. Avoid twisting if it's a pin-base (G8) bulb, as this can damage the socket. If the bulb is broken, use pliers to carefully extract the base, ensuring power is off.
- Insert New Bulb: Align the two pins of the new UpStart Components WP4452164 bulb with the holes in the socket. Gently push the bulb straight into the socket until it is firmly seated. Do not force it.
- Replace Protective Cover: Reattach the protective cover, if one was removed, ensuring it is securely fastened.
- Restore Power: Close the oven door. Restore power to the oven by turning the circuit breaker back on.
- Test the Light: Turn on your oven light to confirm the new bulb is working correctly.
