If a Designer Series replacement panel is ordered without a replacement HGP, See Supporting Document–Hinged
Glass Panel Replacement–PERL, for HGP removal from original panel and reinstallation procedure on
replacement panel. Otherwise, ensure the HGP is closed and latched before proceeding with vent
panel removal.
CAUTION:

Removing The Vent Panel:
A. Unlock and open the vent panel.
B. Remove the screw or plastic pin that attaches the
panel retainer to the roller retainer. Remove the
panel retainer.
!
If the panel retainer is not installed, the door panel can
fall from the product, possibly causing death or serious
injury. Follow directions closely when installing and
servicing the product.
C. To ensure there is enough clearance to lift the panel
off the track, it may be necessary to lower the panel
by adjusting the rollers. Remove the dust plug from
each side of the panel, insert the screwdriver with an
8" shaft and turn counter-clockwise to lower.
