derneath the service tray.

to remove the door panels. Turn the latches 1/4 turn to
remove outer door panel.

washers from the inner exhaust cover.
• Pull the cover directly off the studs.

exchanger tubes. (Refer to the illustration on

this heater may contain heavy metal
compounds that are environmentally
undesirable and should be disposed of in
a conscientious manner.

gasket(s) are needed, use gasket identical to the
original equipment.
