Bosch 00630293 Oven Light Bulb Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your Bosch 00630293 Oven Light Bulb. The 00630293 is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Bosch halogen light bulb designed to illuminate the interior of your oven.

It is a 240V, 25W bulb with a G9 base, replacing part number 630293. Always refer to your appliance's service manual or consult a qualified service professional to confirm the correct part number and installation procedure for your specific oven model before proceeding.

Safety Information

• Disconnect Power: Always ensure the oven's power supply is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker or by unplugging the appliance before attempting any installation or maintenance. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.
• Voltage Compatibility: Verify that your oven requires a 240V bulb. Installing a 240V bulb in a 120V circuit will cause it to blow immediately, and installing a 120V bulb in a 240V circuit can damage the bulb or appliance.
• Handle with Care: Halogen bulbs can be sensitive to oils from skin. Handle the bulb by its ceramic base or use a clean cloth to avoid reducing its lifespan.
• Allow Cooling: Ensure the oven and the old bulb have completely cooled down before touching them to prevent burns.
• Professional Assistance: If you are unsure about any step or encounter difficulties, contact a qualified appliance service professional.

Follow these general steps for replacing your oven light bulb. Specific procedures may vary by oven model; consult your oven's user manual for detailed instructions.

1. Prepare the Oven: Ensure the oven is turned off and completely cool. Disconnect the oven from its power source at the wall outlet or circuit breaker.
2. Locate the Bulb: Open the oven door and locate the existing light bulb, typically covered by a protective glass cover.
3. Remove Protective Cover: Carefully remove the glass cover. This may involve unscrewing, twisting, or prying it off, depending on your oven model. Set it aside in a safe place.
4. Remove Old Bulb: Gently pull or twist the old G9 bulb straight out from its socket. Avoid excessive force.
5. Install New Bulb: Holding the new Bosch 00630293 bulb by its ceramic base (or using a clean cloth), align the two pins of the G9 base with the holes in the socket. Gently push the bulb straight into the socket until it is firmly seated. Do not force it.
6. Replace Protective Cover: Reinstall the glass protective cover securely.
7. Restore Power: Reconnect the oven to its power source.
8. Test: Turn on the oven light to confirm the new bulb is functioning correctly.

Operation

The Bosch 00630293 Oven Light Bulb operates automatically when the oven light function is activated, typically via a switch on the oven control panel. It provides illumination for viewing the contents of the oven cavity during cooking.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: If the glass protective cover or the bulb itself (when cool and power disconnected) becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
• Replacement: The bulb should be replaced when it burns out. The lifespan of a halogen bulb can vary depending on usage.

Troubleshooting

Bulb Does Not Light

• Check Power: Ensure the oven is properly connected to a power source and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Verify Installation: Confirm the bulb is fully and correctly seated in its socket.
• Bulb Integrity: The bulb may be faulty or have reached the end of its lifespan. Try replacing it with a new, compatible bulb.
• Oven Light Switch: Ensure the oven light switch is in the "on" position.
• Appliance Issue: If the issue persists after checking the above, there may be an underlying problem with the oven's electrical system. Contact a qualified service professional.
