1. Turn OFF the power, disconnect the power cord, and disconnect the gas supply.

panels back slightly so that you can get the edges of the handle out from underneath them. Lift the cover off the
power supply.
3. Detach the connector from J4 (200–240 V CSA and 230 V CE) or J5 (400 V CE and 480 V CSA) on the power
board. You may have to lift the top edge of the Mylar barrier to see the connector.
4. From the top of the power supply, use needlenose pliers to compress and release the 4 corner clips on the fan’s
plenum. After you release the top clips, you can tilt the plenum away from the power supply to reach the bottom
2 clips. Lift the plenum off the fan casing.
5. Insert a #1 Phillips screwdriver through the holes in the fan casing to remove the retaining screw from each corner
of the fan.
