3. Remove the four screws securing the fan housing to the light housing. After removing the screws, gently pull the fan housing away from the light housing. Using a soft brush, remove dirt and debris from the light housing. Once the cleaning process has been completed, untighten the screw securing the base of the light bulb to the light housing.

Grasp the bulb (with your hand and fingers protected by the cloth) and gently pull the bulb from the socket.
