6. Installation
a) Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 600°C during
operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove
it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than what this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see "Technical
Specifications"):
1. Unscrew the 4 housing screws at the rear. Remove the housing.
2. Unscrew the knurled screws of the lamp.
3. Gently remove the old lamp from its holder and insert a new one.
4. Retighten the knurled screws, replace the housing and tighten.
Remember the lamp is not a hot-restrike type. Please wait for approximately 10 minutes after having
switched off the device before turning it back on.
Remark: Do not use the device when the cover is open.
b) Fuse
• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse as well.
