Halogen Bulb Caution

Caution: Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying glass fragments. To help avoid personal injury:

* Turn off the lamp switch and allow the bulb to cool before changing the bulb.

* Leave the lamp switch OFF until the bulb change is complete.

* Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb.

* Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass.

* Keep dirt and moisture off the bulb.

* Properly dispose of the used bulb.

* Keep halogen bulbs out of the reach of children.
