Bulbs may become very hot while illuminated. Before replacing bulbs, turn off the lights and wait until the bulbs cool down. Otherwise, there is a risk of sustaining a burn injury.

- Replace any bulb only with a new
bulb of the specified wattage.
Using a bulb of different wattage could result in a fire. For the specified wattage of each bulb, refer to "Bulb chart" F12-13.
- Do not touch the glass portion of
the light bulb with bare hands.
When holding the glass portion is unavoidable, hold it using a clean dry cloth to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
