Step 1. Front cover removal and install:

Please use the provided screwdriver to release top decorative cover free from unit’s decorative front.
This is accomplished by positioning the flat blade of the screwdriver into the seam (about 1” from end)
between the top cover and the decorative front. Be careful not to apply pressure to the front
horizontal louver (vents) while releasing the top cover. The top cover has 4 tab locks which hold it in
position. By inserting the blade slightly and gently twisting the tab lock can be released. Work from
the left side to the right side releasing the lock tabs until the top cover cap is loose.

TAB LOCKS (4)

NOTE: Gently slide top
cover forward

Next, with the top cover cap still in place, slide it toward you until it is free from the unit decorative
front.

Unpack the new top cover. Note that it has interlock ribs on its bottom side which will slide in to the
channels located on the top of the decorative front top surface.

Carefully align the new top cover cap interlocking rib to enter the decorative front receiving channel
and push the top cap cover to fully engage the interlock rib to the channel. Continue to push the top
cap until the locking tabs become engaged with the decorative front. The new top cover cap should
now be installed.

Secure the interlocking rib to the
receiving channel by sliding the top
cover backward into place

Step 2. Decorative front door removal and installation

The decorative front filter access door can be easily removed by utilizing the small screwdriver again.
Open the door completely and observe the hinge pins near the inside bottom left and right corners of
the door. Gently pry the hinge pin to cause it to rotate upward. Once the hinge pin is rotated clear of
the doors’ locking rib it can be removed. Gently pull the hinge pin to the side to remove it from the
door and the decorative front. With the hinges removed the door will be free to be removed from the
unit’s decorative front.

Slide the provided screwdriver under
the hinge and pop upward to release
the hinge pin

Unpack the new decorative door. New hinge pins are included with the kit and can be used if
needed.
