Vent Hood - Replacing G-4 Halogen Lamps

On vent hoods with G4 base Halogen bulbs, you can replace the light bulb if it goes out. Instructions are found in the Owner's Manual or you can follow the instructions below:

 

Safety Precautions:

• Be sure the electrical power to the vent hood is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood. Disconnecting power at the fuse or circuit breaker to the hood is recommended.

• When replacing the bulb, the glass cover should be removed only when cold.

• Wearing latex gloves or using a clean, dry cloth may offer a better grip. For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with your bare hands or a damp cloth.

 

To Remove the Bulb(s):

1. Turn the glass cover counterclockwise until the glass cover clears the socket.

2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To Replace the Bulb(s):

1. Use a new 12-volt, 20-watt (maximum) Halogen bulb with a G4 base.

2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the new bulb from its packaging.

   • Note: Do not touch the new Halogen bulb with your bare fingers. Touching the bulb with bare fingers will significantly reduce the life of the bulb.

3. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.

4. Place the glass cover onto the socket and turn clockwise until secure.

   • For improved lighting, clean the glass cover frequently using a damp cloth. This should be done when the hood is completely cool.

5. Reconnect electrical power to the hood.
