4. Open the freezer lid and locate the probe cover on the upper front left

wall. Remove the two Phillips head screws securing the probe cover
(see Figure 5-5).

5. Route the BUS  probe through the probe port, approximately 12”.

Secure the back-up probe to the temperature probe using a small tie
wrap (Figure 5-5).

6. Seal around the interior and exterior opening of the probe port with

Permagum sealant.

7. Reinstall the probe cover (Figure 5-5).
