I have a Hoover oven model HOC 706N probably made by Candy & I want to change the bulb but I cant undo the glass cover. Do I need a special tool or something. Also I cant work out whether the cover is a screw or a bayonet. Can you give me any help or useful tips?

Thanks but already tried to unscrew even with damp cloth but wont budge. Any more ideas please

If the glass cover is circular it will unscrew anticlockwise - a damp cloth may help your grip.

If the glass cover is rectangular it will prise out with a flat bladed screwdriver - the glass is very robust.

The blown lamp will unscrew - if the glass bulb falls away from the base you can unscrew it with a finger down the hole but TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST - last time I forgot to do this - silly me.

Good luck...
