I have a Jenn-Air Range Hood ModelJXT5830. I cannot remove the high intensity bulbs by unscrewing them. I removed the metal filter screen to get access to them, but they will not unscrew. What can I safely do to remove them?
Optional Information: Make : Jenn-Air Model : JXT5830 Already Tried: I tried to unscrew using a suction cup, gripper gloves and removing a filter screen to get direct access to the bulbs, but still they will not unscrew. What can I safely do to remove them?
1. Turn off power to the light bulb.
2. Twist light bulb counterclockwise from the socket.
NOTE: A suction cup may be required for light bulb
removal. One may be obtained from a local
hardware store.
3. Reverse procedure to reinstall light bulb.

Do you require more assistance?
I have tried what you suggested, which is also in the User Guide. I have access to the bulb fixture by removing the metal filter screen, but I still cannot unscrew it. Should I grasp the bulb fixture with a pair of pliers and then unscrew?
The bulb fixture ??
Do you mean the socket?
Yes, should I hold the bulb socket with pliers then try to unscrew?
You can just do not crush the socket with too much pressure!
