use some packing tape stick it on light lens to turn
the hood came with a suction cup for unscrewing bulbs
you could order through dacor or find one in dollar store
This is a light socket problem, and it has plagued hoods for years simply because grease builds up there and is acidic. One fix is to disconnect the power and wash the socket with alcohol, then buff with steel wool being careful to leave no steel wool behind. After cleaning you will need to re-tension the little aluminum/brass button at the bottom of the socket by placing a screwdriver under it and gently lifting it about 30 degrees upwards. Replace the bulbs with ONLY the stated wattage bulbs indicated on the panel.
i used two thin strips of metal shaped on the ends like the bulb i was putting in ,i tied these together with a rubber band and then applied finger pressure up by the bulb ,it came out ,but is a terrible design
there is a tool (suction cup) that dacor provides with unit or you can order the "kit" online for $30. i used some gloves with latex coating on palms to get "decent grip" to spin it out. that stainless stell rim actually pops out on my ventilation hood....it is similar to recessed lighting baffles...spring loaded....it may give you a bit more room to manuever your fingers.
To replace the light bulb:
1. Remove the right filter and turn off the main power
switch.
2. Gently push the suction cup on the light replacement
tool A (provided with you range hood)
onto the lens of the light bulb B .
3. Turn the tool counter-clockwise until the bulb
comes loose.
4. Remove the tool from the bulb and put it on the
lens of the replacement bulb.
5. Screw the new bulb into the light fixture clockwise
until it is tight. Turn on power at the fuse or junction
box. Turn on the main power switch and touch
the light key to make sure it is working.
6. Replace the filter. You can download the manual here.
You need the suction bulb that came with the unit. In case you do not have it, it is part #62408 and is about $2.00. I am trying to figure out for myself how to get the lens cover off in order to access the bulb, and how to replace it when the new bulb is put in.
Buylighting.com, JDR120V-75W-E27CG...also comes in 50 watt. They aren't inexpensive, but if installed properly, will last a while. We have a little suction cup to take them out and put them in. It came with the range hood. If you get fingerprints on a halogen bulb, it can blow out quicker.
