1. Remove the tape from around the rear edge of the
cavity.

motor speed controller (VFD drive).
3. Disconnect the two heater wires (see section 6.16).
4. Locate the M7 hex nut and remove the steam vent
pipe.
5. Remove the cable ties fixing the wiring to either side
of the fan motor and move the wiring clear of the back
of the oven.
6. Locate the ten nuts fixing the plate carrying the
convection fan motor to the rear of the cavity. There
are three nuts close to the horizontal edges and two
nuts close to the vertical edges.
Unfasten the ten M7 hex nuts to remove the plate with
the convection fan motor assembly, being careful of
the wiring in the vicinity.
Note: Do not unfasten the four M13 bolts securing the
convection fan motor to the plate.
Removing the convection fan motor assembly will also give
access to the upper & lower catalytic converters and the
heating element.
