Step 1

Turn the wall power switch off. Wait for the fan blades to stop turning and wait for the bulb to cool down if it has been on in the past few minutes. Allow approximately 10 minutes to prevent burning your hand.

Push the glass light cover up gently. Twist it counterclockwise with both hands. You'll notice that it starts to unscrew from the fan. When it's fully unscrewed, it will slide downward. Hold onto it carefully; don't drop it or it may break.

Twist the light bulb counterclockwise to remove it. Throw the old light bulb away. Insert the base of the new light bulb into the fan's socket and twist it clockwise gently to install it.
