1. Turn off gas supply, then disconnect electric
power to unit.
2. Remove vent cap and combustion-air assemblies.
Do not damage gasket. Refer to Venting section
and reverse assembly procedures shown.
3. Remove all screws that secure unit top, including
screws around 4 sides and those on top that screw
