ELEMENT REPLACEMENT

  

WARNING:

 Disconnect power before attempting any 

maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric 
shock or damage to persons. 

 CAUTION: 

If unit was operating prior to servicing allow 

at least 10 minutes for lights and heating elements to cool 
off to avoid accidental burning of skin.

Tools required:

 Phillips head screwdriver

Short handled Phillips head screwdriver
Needle nosed pliers.
Wire Snips
3/8” ratchet or wrench

 CAUTION: 

Follow “Preparation for Service” instructions 

before proceeding.

1.  Remove the 5 screws that secure the angled switch 

housing cover located just below the Remote Switch-
board on the top right. Remove cover and set aside.

2.  Loosen the front panel that spans across the top front 

facia. To do so, locate the 4 screws: 2 on the left and 
2 right on the angled part behind the facia. This peice 
can be removed by turning it 90 degrees and allowing 
the glass mounting screw slide through the slot in the 
backside of the panel.

3.  Remove the heating assembly cover in the top center 

by removing the 6 screws on the side brackets: 3 on 

the left and 3 on the right (at the front). Wires from the 

switch housing are connected through this piece, so 
carefully move it farther down in the body of the unit, to 
give some room to access the heating assembly hous-
ing. 

4.  Release the top panel of the heating assembly hous-

ing by removing 4 screws on the side brackets. Pull 
the top panel of the heating assembly housing out from 
between the brackets. 

5. 

From the top panel of the heating assembly housing, 

remove the 4 screws that hold the element cover to the 
housing panel.

6.  Disconnect wires from the ends of the elements noting 

their original locations. 

!

 

NOTE: 

Using a flat head screwdriver gently pry be

-

tween the end of the connectors and the element to release 
the wires.

!

 

NOTE:

 Some of the wires may have a “piggy-back” 

connector that allows a second wire to connect to the same 

prong as the first wire. Try and keep the “piggy-back” con

-

nection together when pulling the wires off the element. 

7.  Using a 3/8” ratchet or wrench remove the hex head 

screw from both sides of the element. Remove ele-
ments from the element housing and replace with the 
new elements.

8.  Reassemble in the reverse order as above.

 CAUTION:

 When re-installing covers and panels, be 

sure the wires are guided and tucked into the proper open-
ings along the right side so they are not pinched and allows 
enough space to reinstall panel.
