Metal shavings might come out when removing
screws from the aluminum boss in the housing.

entering the unit. Use a vacuum to remove any
metal shavings.
1. Grille Removal
Note: The grille is held in place by Pressure Sensi-
tive Adhesive (PSA) strips located in the center of
the grille (fi gure 5.) and also by two tabs on either
end of the grille (fi gure 3).
To avoid destroying the grill during the removal
process, brush alcohol over the PSA strips (fi gure
5) before attempting to remove it.
Important Note: To avoid damage to the cabinet,
do not use the cabinet as a pry point to remove the
grille.
1.1 At the location shown in Figure 3, insert the tip
of a plastic tool, such as a spudger, between the
grille and its rubber gasket.
Note: The location shown is between the PSA and
grille tabs securing the grille.
1.2 Rotate the spudger away from you while prying
against the rubber gasket. Figure 4.
1.3 Once a portion of the grille is released, grasp
the grille and pull it across the unit lengthwise to
release the PSA. Figure 5.
