ELEMENT
REPLACEMENT
BICO Furnaces have been designed for easy replacement of elements. With proper care your
elements should last a long time, ,but you will eventually need to replace them. To do so:
1. Unplug Furnace. Remove the pins that hold the elements in the grooves.
2. Remove the screened back of the Furnace.
3. Remove the nuts that fasten the elements to the terminal block.
4. Cut the element wire where it goes into the Furnace.
5. Remove the element from the Furnace Chamber.
6. Stretch the new element to the proper length using one motion to do so. (Fasten one
end in a vice and pull the other end to desired length).
7. Bend elements where they form the corners. Use old elements as a guide.
8. Install the new elements in the Furnace.
9. Use new pins provided to secure the new elements.
10. Fasten elements to terminal block as they were and reconnect the electrical leads as
they were.
11. Replace the back onto the Furnace.
12. Be sure all is back as it was before plugging in the Furnace. If in doubt, call an
electrician.
