REPLACEMENT
Tools Required: Philips head screwdriver
Needle nose pliers
CAUTION: Follow "Preparation for Service" instructions
before proceeding.
1. Remove 9 screws that secure the top panel to the side
panels of the firebox using a Philips head screwdriver,
2 on the left side; 2 on the right side; 3 on the backside;
2 on the top.
2. Lift the top panel up off the firebox, turn it 45 degrees
and rest it inside the upper cavity against the back
panel.
CAUTION: Support the back underside of the firebox
with a small piece of wood as the feet do not go the entire
depth of the unit and it can easily tip backwards.

fireplace, near the top. Remove the 6 screws from the
side panels that hold this front panel in place, 3 on the
left and 3 on the right side.

towards you to expose the wires connected to the
backside of the switch.

tween the end of the connector and the switch to release
the wires.

on the face, depress the tabs that secure the switch to
the housing from behind the panel and push the switch
